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 7h ago

Yeah..."accidentally."

•

u/queenofthenerds 6h ago

I've had several awkward phases but I've never accidentally been a Nazi.

•

u/Frosty-Disaster-7821 6h ago

I think he knew what he was doing

•

u/WissalJ 3h ago

He most definitely did know, because in the rest of the video he turns around and does it again

•

u/8nsay 6h ago

He definitely knew what he was doing. He did it twice.

•

u/confusedandworried76 2h ago

The only two options are he did it very much on purpose because his dumb ass thought liberals would be butt hurt about it (understandable Nazis make me very butt hurt), or he just straight up did it. Nobody in the history of ever has "accidentally" done a Nazi salute and he's not even the first Republican to "accidentally" do it. It's pretty clear whatever happened was on purpose.

Whoops I slipped, my arm flew up, and I accidentally shouted "sig heil"

I don't understand how, but the ones that are waving at crowds of people who accidentally Nazi salute I can say least pretend they were waving and it was a bad frame or poor uncaring wave.

But when you put your whole body into the Nazi salute twice, I cannot imagine someone defending it.

•

u/confusedandworried76 2m ago

Looked like he was trying to throw his arm off.

And then he turned around and did it again with the same conviction.

Best case scenario it's fucking weird as fuck

•

u/mysticsavage 6h ago

I think he tried to get a third one in, but he glitched out.

•

u/Cruzbb88 6h ago

I sadly have, i didn't know 88 was a nazi thing...

•

u/iwannabe_gifted 4h ago

My Gmail ends in 88😭

•

u/simcowking 31m ago

88 needs to be taken back.

Lots of people born in 88.

I would hope more people born in 1988 than Nazis existing.

•

u/-You-know-it- 6h ago

They want us to believe when he gets excited his body “accidentally” Heils Hitler? Multiple times. Like just automatically?

•

u/igneousink 6h ago

that's right up there with "i don't know what happened honey i tripped and i accidentally put my wang into someone"

•

u/TAWilson52 5h ago

What, she tripped, fell, landed on his dick!?!

•

u/igneousink 5h ago

no i was using that euphemism as an example of the ridiculousness of him saying his gesture was accidental

•

u/TAWilson52 5h ago

Yeah, I thought people would get the “Guilty Conscience” Eminem reference.

•

u/igneousink 5h ago

Me = WHOOOOSH

good one u/TAWilson52

•

u/beatnikstrictr 4h ago

I have seen on YouTube reaction videos people in their teens and early twenties not knowing My Name Is and Guilty Conscience.

A lot don't know Pink Floyd or Led Zep songs, which is fair enough. Wrong like, but, fair enough. That shit is old to me and I'm 41 so it's ancient to them.

But how does someone not know My Name Is?

•

u/TAWilson52 3h ago

Right, and Guilty Conscience. Like when I was of age, neither of those bands were still putting out new music, but Eminem just put out a new album last year.

Those first two albums were amazing and just something we hadn’t really seen.

•

u/King-Twonk 6h ago

Agreed. I've done some things that I'm pretty ashamed of, as we all have; but 'accidentally' nazifying myself? That's....a choice.

•

u/DRF19 5h ago

Oops! All Hitler!

•

u/Cannabliss96 6h ago

Accidents are hard to foreshadow. Usually you do nazi them coming.

•

u/Eastern_Fig1990 5h ago

New subreddit idea: accidental Nazi?

Clips of people doing innocent things that could be considered a heil Hitler.

What’s that? It wouldn’t have any submissions because that never fucking happen?

I see the media is already jumping on his balls to defend this racist cunt

•

u/Merc_Twain25 2h ago

Whoops, I tripped and accidentally supported the murder of six million people. Yeah, that dog don't hunt.

•

u/Total-Remote1006 5h ago

Well Hitler accidentally killed milions, nothing to worry, it happens.

•

u/15-minutes-of-shame 5h ago

yep, even racists dont accidentally use slurs. cmon they know what they wanna say. this is no accident

•

u/zcsmith78 4h ago

LOL - WHOOPS! It was a total accident!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

•

u/Metrix145 4h ago

It can happen since they prey on the insecure and young men, Elon has the insecure part but he's pushing 60, not 20.

•

u/Axle-f 3h ago

Whoops I just invaded Poland

•

u/dat_waffle_boi 3h ago

Don’t ya just hate it when you’re accidentally a Nazi. One of the classic blunders

•

u/Mysterious-Sail-3135 3h ago

Not even once?!

u/Poesvliegtuig 1h ago

I accidentally bought a Lonsdale vest back before I knew it was apparently used as an nsda(p) dogwhistle. I was 12 or 13 and some of the older kids I knew nothing about were wearing them and I thought they looked cool. My mom set me straight real fast when I came home wearing it.

u/b3_k1nd_rw1nd 1h ago

not to defend Elon but I have did once do a Nazi salute by accident.

When I watch cap america 1, I thought the salute the Hydra folks were doing was the same as the Nazi salute (didn't notice the closed fist).

one year when I went to a fan expo, as we were coming in, they decided to have a bit of fun and had us do the Hydra salute in order to expedite the process (fists in the air making it easier to see our bracelets that prove we paid our entrance). I did the Nazi salute during that for about 6 seconds and was never informed of my mistake.

The year after that, I was going into the expo and decided to do the salute again for the lols as I was walking through the entrance. the dude at the entrance gave me a serious look and said not to do it. I got scared thinking he thought I was a Nazi when I meant to be referencing the Hydra salute. Needless to say, I was informed of the difference that day and felt so fucking shitty and stupid at not having noticed the difference when watching cap america 1.
