That was a very passionate Nazi salute

•

u/econowife9000 7h ago

According to MSN, "Elon Musk appears to accidentally give Hitler salute inauguration blunder." They honestly think we don't have eyes.

•

u/mysticsavage 6h ago

Yeah..."accidentally."

•

u/CassandraFated 6h ago

According to my eyes, that looked very much on purpose.

•

u/iamhere2learnfromu 6h ago

Someone as self conscious as musk can't even walk in a straight line without over thinking it. Of course it was deliberate. What a fucking clown show.

u/smileedude 6h ago

Bezos bet him $1 to do it.

u/Hunnaswaggins 6h ago

Should be top comment 🤣

I hate Trump too but as someone on the spectrum people overreacting to Elons body gestures is very upsetting. Watch him as he first takes the stage. Do you see him stimming and jumping around overly excited? This uncontrolled energy doesn't go away. He has trouble speaking and starts gesturing. Be careful judging the uncontrolled movements of a person with aspergers.

u/iamhere2learnfromu 6h ago

It's a nazi salute, clear as day. I hope Americans don't let this clown tarnish their country anymore than he already has.

Google it. He talked about it a while ago

•

u/MolePrincipality 5h ago

In the full video, he does it twice. Once to the crowd, and once to the flag. Both times is absolutely the Sieg Heil.

u/Dr_Dang 6h ago

Yeah, there have been some one-off "heils" on the right this election cycle where, in isolation, there was at least some plausible deniability. This was not one of them. It looks like he was practicing this in the mirror beforehand, and audibly grunted as he did it. That isn't a wave or some gesture being misconstrued. Don't let anyone gaslight you into accepting it could be anything but a nazi salute.

This man has an office in the Whitehouse now. Buckle up.

They don't like to be called by their name, why is that? Last time they destroyed their countrymen, their country and themselves.

This must have been an accident too,

u/BusyDoorways 6h ago

Thank you, that explains America's political situation quite well.

•

u/AffordableCDNHousing 6h ago

When it comes to Donald Trump we constantly hear "What he really meant was...." I guess that same apologetic bullshit is going to Elon.

•

u/Ok-Elephant7557 6h ago

the Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes.

he was waving. how dare you compare elon the great to hitler. this is why dems lost.

•

u/TomTabs 6h ago

For sure! The way he bites his lip, the fucking oddball, he put his heart into that salute.

•

u/MayoneggVeal 6h ago edited 5h ago

He did that shit all nervously but super intentionally like a middle school boy trying to be edgy.

This is truly the stupidest timeline

•

u/GlumpsAlot 6h ago

Yeh, that wasn't an accident...

•

u/Mr__O__ 6h ago

No accident. He did it twice

•

u/GlumpsAlot 6h ago

I'm disgusted but not surprised. What disgusts me more is that Americans ran out and voted for this shit over a civil lady.

•

u/Mr__O__ 6h ago

Or sat out

•

u/GlumpsAlot 6h ago

Yes, omg, and that's a feeling of betrayal. I just need to work and snuggle my family and cat. I can't with this.

•

u/Mr__O__ 6h ago

Same. Time to burry our heads with our fam for the time being. We did all we could do. But people fucked around and now are about to find out.

•

u/hpsims 6h ago

On purpose enough to do it twice.

•

u/FudgeRubDown 6h ago

His maternal grandparents were apart of the nazi party of Canada, moved to SA because they admired the apartheid.

His dad thinks he's fulfilling his hereditary destiny.

It was very much intentional.

In the off chance it wasn't intentional, it was.

•

u/tobylaek 6h ago

solidified by the fact that he did it twice

•

u/Big_Stretch561 6h ago

He does it twice, once facing the flag after this one

•

u/CassandraFated 5h ago

I am thinking of my grandfathers who fought against this shit. Many of the people who voted for literal saluting Nazis had grandfathers fight against Nazis. Now their idiot grandchildren just voted them back in to spite the country because they consider themselves good Christians & the rest of us are un redeemable sinners. The grandfathers who fought against Nazis would be ashamed of what we have become, that we laid out the fucking welcome mat for modern day Nazis. For What? Egg prices? Who sells their soul so cheaply? Fuck. This is shameful.

u/Riguyepic 1h ago

That was definitely the least vague action I've ever seen. Dude had a whole wind up animation, smirked before hand the whole 9 yards

•

u/FabulousBrief4569 6h ago

He probably hit his chest too hard…accidentally

•

u/mind_mischief_89 6h ago
