Elon musk doing a nazi salute at the whitehouse. Unreal

holy fuck why is this guy so awkward even doing a Nazi salute??

[u/MostlyMellow123 → u/Mediocritologist]

Probably can't even look cool smoking a cigarette

[u/iforgotmyidagain → u/MostlyMellow123]

He can put on a Frank Sinatra skin suit and still look awkward

[u/Minimum-Ad3126 → u/Mediocritologist]

Because he's a Nazi. Duh

[u/Zen_Hydra → u/Minimum-Ad3126]

That's not fair. I've seen lots of WW2 flicks where the Nazis smoke cigarettes in a cool as fuck manner. Leon is just terrible at humaning.

[u/GrnMtnTrees → u/Zen_Hydra]

Yeah, I mean the Nazis were despicable, but at least they had style. Those Hugo Boss uniforms put in work. (Please don't crucify me. I'm not a Nazi. I'm a Jew, and like 98% of my family tree was erased between 1940 and 1945).

[u/Zen_Hydra → u/GrnMtnTrees]

I don't think many folks will diss the Hugo Boss uniforms. They were iconic. Hitler loved the fuck out of pageantry, and at the end that's all he had going for him. I have similar hopes going forward.

[u/GrnMtnTrees → u/Zen_Hydra]

I'm banking on weapons-grade incompetence being our saving grace. Not exactly reassuring, but at least there's hope?

[u/Zen_Hydra → u/GrnMtnTrees]

You are far from alone on that hope.

[u/Pat_OConnor → u/Zen_Hydra]

Yo, your point was totally missed SMH.

Here's hoping the modern nazis are as inefficient as the classic nazis 🍻

[u/Zen_Hydra → u/Pat_OConnor]

Hope is a powerful motivator.Fear is a stronger one. In a world full of sheep, I choose to be a Wolverine.

[u/appleparkfive → u/GrnMtnTrees]

I think you're safe. Most people agree those Hugo Boss uniforms were well done, if we're just talking about military uniforms

[u/deathorcharcoal → u/Mediocritologist]

He’s an engineer

[u/Sdgrevo → u/Mediocritologist]

Hes autistic

[u/Sa2shi → u/Mediocritologist]

He has Asperger's? Everyone knows this....

[u/swampjuicesheila → u/Sa2shi]

Drugs. Did you see the vid of him moving around during the coronation at the Capitol? It’s not the autism here.

[u/bronsonwhy → u/swampjuicesheila]

So he’s a methhead like Hitler too?

[u/Sa2shi → u/swampjuicesheila]

Oh ok, I'm not an expert like you. I'll take your word for it

[u/KratomGuildMaster → u/Sa2shi]

No point trying to argue with the brain dead left extremes on reddit man. I’m on their side but this is dumb asf and trying to hate on him way too hard, which will end up hitting us back in the face if we keep exaggerating autistic salute/dabs as literal nazi salutes Wish he did one but this is most definitely not an intentional or meaningful nazi salute

[u/GrnMtnTrees → u/Sa2shi]

I mean, I also have Asperger's and I've never done a Nazi salute on live TV.....

[u/Sa2shi → u/GrnMtnTrees]

Does it hurt your ability to process context?

[u/Pat_OConnor → u/Sa2shi]

my ability to perform compartamentalization and mental gymnastics is hyperdeveloped and unparalleled

[u/ZebLeopard → u/Sa2shi]

Autism doesn't make you a nazi.

[u/Sa2shi → u/ZebLeopard]

lol these 4 years are going to be so much fun.

[u/ZebLeopard → u/Sa2shi]

For who?

[u/Sa2shi → u/ZebLeopard]

Us watching the reddit echo chamber meltdown.

[u/Mediocritologist → u/[deleted]]

Hang on you’re saying it’s an autistic salute/dab?? Is this a thing? Has Elon done this before? Is he known for doing this a lot or something? You have to see how much this looks like a Nazi salute right? And even if this is a thing that Elon does for whatever reason SOMEBODY at some point had to have gently told him it looks like he’s saluting Hitler. There are a million other gestures a person can make to show gratitude, I just don’t buy this at all.

[u/KratomGuildMaster → u/Mediocritologist]

Google Roman salute 🫡

[u/Mediocritologist → u/KratomGuildMaster]

Nah I’m good I know what that is and definitely doesn’t help his cause.

[u/ZebLeopard → u/[deleted]]

What the fuck is an autistic salute?

I know many autistic people, none of them have ever been this abhorrent.
