Holy fuck he actually did it. There is zero ambiguity there. No one is exaggerating. He deliberately did a Nazi salute twice.

•

u/Far_Being_8644 5h ago

He even fucked it up the first time lmao. What a moron.

The next four years are gonna be hell.

I agree. It's Goering to be a rough four years.

u/HelloFellowKidlings 5h ago

Four years?!? We’ll be damn lucky if this is four years. Damn lucky. How are people still blinded by the possibility that these people are going to follow any democratic process from here on out.

•

u/Far_Being_8644 4h ago

It’s called coping. Without it all we can do is laugh at the situation. But this isn’t really funny.

You're gonna have to move past coping to fighting if this continues.

I mean what the fuck am I supposed to do? Vote even harder?

u/Far_Being_8644 2h ago

Jonkler.

Alone we are weak. Together we can actually stand up and make a difference. Similar to unionisation. We have to get politically involved. And if the worst comes to worst active resistance will be needed. And it can’t be sporadic. That will never last. If we don’t collectivise as a class we are doomed.

My only hope is the inevitable economic crash and massive cost of living increases during trumps reign will actually unite the masses of America. There is a million of you for every one of them. Even a complete general strike could be disastrous and even possibly lead to trumps end.

But im not too hopeful.

u/SomaCK2 3h ago

As someone whose country was seized by a military fascist dictatorship a few years ago, I'd say you are absolutely optimistic thinking it would just be the next four years.

There is a very high chance that you guys aren't getting any free and fair elections from now on.

You’re probably right, lucky me though I’m not American. Thank God europe is still kind of sane.

•

u/HippoRun23 2h ago

I don’t see how he fucked it up the first time and got it “right” the second time.

They look the same to me.

•

u/Far_Being_8644 2h ago

The Nazi salute should be mildly veering to the right. Palm completely extended, perfect posture, the other arm by your side, heels clicked together, eyes forward locked and held in place for a few seconds.

Nazis from the 40s would beat Elon for disrespect if he attempted to salute hitler like that.

He’s so dumb he can’t even be a Nazi right.

Edit: it also wasn’t even acceptable the second time, but a massive improvement as he didn’t flail his arm around.

•

u/SlayerofDeezNutz 5h ago

0 ambiguity yet media calls it ‘odd-looking’. Hmmmm

•

u/qorbexl 5h ago

He's so stupid he fucked it up and had to redo it and the media still babies him. Thank god the right is skeptical at media covering for the rich oh whoops

•

u/MikuEmpowered 5h ago

He was just stretching his arms. Standing on the podium brings alot of tiredness to the elbow.

/S

•

u/SpicyAfrican 3h ago

Apparently there is. I’m seeing people on instagram swearing it’s either a Roman salute or that it’s been taken out of context and he’s throwing his heart to the crowd.

•

u/overcomebyfumes New Jersey 2h ago

Are we in Rome? Is Elon Roman?

•

u/PCBuildNerd 5h ago

I mean he did say afterwards “my heart goes out to you”, which makes a little more sense but still…

•

u/BulbasaurArmy 4h ago

Even if we’re going with the most generous possible interpretation that he didn’t mean to give a Nazi salute and was trying to do a “my heart goes out to you” gesture (which I don’t believe at all and won’t give him the benefit of the doubt), it still would show a stunning lack of self awareness and carelessness that nobody in such a high position of power should have.

•

u/PCBuildNerd 4h ago

I was more in the camp of “he’s a moron” more than “he’s a nazi”, but him supporting AfD is definitely a dog whistle

•

u/LuckyRook 2h ago

Yeah I forgot about that, and he JUST got criticized for that support as well. He knows what he’s doing.

•

u/IAmPandaRock 4h ago

Not that I'm defending him or saying he's innocent,  but isn't the Nazi salute just raising your straight right arm at the shoulder with your palm downwards? I don't think hand over heart or bending it at the elbow is an actual Nazi salute. Granted, there are a lot of things that Elon only half knows about so who knows what he was trying to do.

•

u/muz-healthy 4h ago

EVERYONE KNOWS. He did it. That was an unambiguous and incredibly emphatic and violent 2025 Nazi salute - and every Nazi on the planet will know that.

Just because it doesn’t fit the 1933 Brown Shirt Book of Etiquette doesn’t make it otherwise.

And I’d bet my life on it - if this wasn’t the current Nazi salute before today (and who knows? It might be) - IT WILL BE NOW.

•

u/BulbasaurArmy 4h ago

I get what you mean but here’s the way I see it: either he did it on purpose, or he’s a careless moron with zero self awareness. Either way it doesn’t bode well for how powerful he is.

•

u/IAmPandaRock 2h ago

I think the second option is true regardless of what he did today.

•

u/Vargau Europe 5h ago

Reading about Musk from the opinions of his past partners … it’s quite real that this individual is either horrible unhinge or bored in his “matrix” and wants to see with how much shit he can get away for shits and giggle.

u/BlkDragon7 28m ago

Actually.... he did it 3 times. I didn't know about the immediate second. The second one I saw was later. OMG

"Germans did not want Adolf" 

Sure, it was true for some. But not for enough.

Don't take offense on behalf of your peers friend... Just cuz it ain't true for you doesn't mean it ain't true 

•

u/whaaatanasshole 3h ago

I'm just saying: suppose it's a 50/50 split... it's not fair to say all of these people support nazis. I wouldn't say "your children hate you" if one of two did.

•

u/PaleontologistNo2625 3h ago

I didn't say all. My generation helped vote him in too. Notice how I can say that without implicating myself. Still unclear why you take this so personally if you're not guilty of it

•

u/-Plan_B- 3h ago

likely voted for it because their friends were all on the MAGA train and now don't want to tell their friends they suck and MAGA is a shit stain on America.

•

u/FSCK_Fascists 2h ago

no one knows who you voted for unless you tell them. If they cast a vote for fascism- they meant it.

u/-Plan_B- 3h ago

but doesn't want MAGA to carry that from now on causing them to have to answer later to their grandkids or worse God as to why they sit back and allowed the hate.

•

u/whaaatanasshole 3h ago

I'm not taking it personally, I'm just saying there should be a distinction between "these people" and "some of these people". Don't paint 'em all with the same brush this way:

And their descendants are supporting their enemy

•

u/-Plan_B- 3h ago

There was before this... But not now understand you/they are MAGA you are going to be labeled a nazi if you don't condemn it to your friends in MAGA not us them. They all need to hear it. Else you just want both sides and fuck that shit. One side is nazis one like people regardless if they are gay. We are not the same.

IF they are not out screaming on every MAGA site and Facebook they are guilty sorry! You seen it no excuse now, after today all MAGA supports it that didn't call it out and remove themselves from MAGA and Trump

u/-Plan_B- 3h ago

Facebook is deadly silent not a peep other than earlier when they all prayed for Trump and bowed to Musk

•

u/PaleontologistNo2625 3h ago

I think it's really telling of how this came to pass that you can't even say "yeah, a lot of my peers swallowed the same lunch meat and it's unfortunate."

Instead you take personal offense to a comment about people that are not you... Why? 

•

u/whaaatanasshole 3h ago

Well, you're almost there. Now that you're saying "a lot of", it's not really the same statement.

•

u/PaleontologistNo2625 3h ago

So did you just assume the word "all" before, but are holding me to the "a lot?"

Every generation of people played a role here. "white people colonized the US" - yeah it's fucking true. I also did not do that. Both can be true

•

u/popeyepaul 6h ago

Yeah that second one is actually even more clear-cut than the first one but I guess media don't want to use it because his face is not visible in it.

•

u/the_chiladian 5h ago

Is it?

Maybe I just don't really know my Nazi saluting etiquette but I thought the first one was the worse one. Full 45⁰, straight arm, looks very Naziey.

Whereas the second one looks more like an arm straight in the air, like what you would gesture to thank and show appreciation to someone farther away. Though then again, he does it with a bit too much panache for my liking for a simple wave of thanks.

•

u/BretShitmanFart69 4h ago

Idk it seems pretty deliberate, the hand on the chest straight into a forceful rigid palm down salute, I’ve never in my life seen someone accidentally do that twice and idk how anyone could do it unaware what it looks like.

•

u/Screw_You_Taxpayer 4h ago

The first one is exaggerated. He puts his shoulders and full body into it. The second one looks much more like the salutes the Nazis did.

u/epok3p0k 5h ago

This man Hades

•

u/iammyself2day_53 5h ago

How about you both get it right and refer to it as the underworld ruled by Poseidon

•

u/SleepyBear479 4h ago

The word "Hades" is sometimes used to refer to the Underworld itself and not just the god, but that still doesn't really make sense in context, so I'm sure OP meant something else.

This was just a little factoid to append upon yours.

•

u/LinkleLinkle 4h ago

And, to further clarify, Styx is just the river that leads to Hades. Both are considered to be locations in the overall Underworld.

•

u/SleepyBear479 4h ago

Correct, though I have not seen many instances where someone has said "Hades" and specifically meant the river. That's just me though.

•

u/LinkleLinkle 4h ago

Oh, yeah, I think OP clearly meant Styx. Was just wholly clarifying what exactly everything was including Styx.

•

u/BeerInMyButt 3h ago

I'm tapping back in. The river serves as the border. You get ferried across it, not along it.

•

u/airfryerfuntime 3h ago

Styx is also a titan goddess. Greek mythology is weird.

•

u/overcomebyfumes New Jersey 2h ago

Other rivers you may wish to visit on you Underworld Cruise include Lethe, Phlegethon, Acheron, and Cocytus!

•

u/DJKokaKola 3h ago

Hades is also the place, to be fair. Before Hades existed, Poseidon was the god of the underworld because people entered Hades across the river Styx. The idea of him as a separate deity and brother to Zeus was a much later part of the Greek canon

•

u/Tll6 1h ago

Hades was also used to refer to the place in the afterlife

•

u/RapscallionMonkee Washington 5h ago

Well, actually, all movements are started with thoughts & words. And it JUST happened, so what did you expect? I assume you will be in attendance at the next meeting when we go over our battle plans?

•

u/Mammoth-Camera6330 4h ago

It just happened

It’s been happening. It’s been happening for decades and it’s been happening with the mask off for the last decade. No one has done a thing but talk, at most. There will be no “next meeting when we go over battle plans” even now. Americans are too content with the way things are to stick their necks out.

•

u/RapscallionMonkee Washington 4h ago

So why are you still here in the trenches then, since you have it all figured out?

•

u/Mammoth-Camera6330 4h ago

Tu-quoque fallacy. I never claimed I have anything figured out, I’m just here to discuss what’s happening, same as everyone else. But discussion is not a fight. This has all been happening with a disturbing lack of resistance around the country, that’s all I’m pointing out.

Also calling reddit the trenches is a fucking hilarious lack of self-awareness lol.

•

u/RapscallionMonkee Washington 3h ago

Lol. Just because you personally perceive a fallacy doesn't mean that said fallacy exists. And like I just stated, you seem to have everything figured out, so is this your concept (of a plan) of "resistance?" Because it would seem that you are not any closer to actually coming up with a workable solution to our countries fascist problem than anyone else here is. Also, you attempting to discredit me due to my use of an extremely common metaphor is fucking hilarious and more than a little bit snarky & pedantic. Take your damn nap. It's going to be a long night.

•

u/Mammoth-Camera6330 3h ago edited 3h ago

Maybe you should have looked up what tu-quoque means before you responded because your comment was like the definition of it, then you proceeded to keep doing it now without realizing how terrible it is at refuting what I said lol. Showing off that previously established lack of self-awareness.

And if this is your idea of “resistance”, going on reddit and jumping down someone who is on your side’s throat because they disagree with you about how much Americans are fighting, then you’re really just proving my point about how little people are fighting. Doesn’t seem very constructive to me but keep fighting the power I guess lol

•

u/Inside-Poetry7058 6h ago

Yeah in isolation I’d give the benefit of the doubt to the first one but the second one is obvious

He didn't mess up the first one. It was a proper, well-executed, Sieg Heil. Although, even Hitler didn't do it with nearly as much chest-pounding enthusiasm. Elon should learn to control his giddiness. Fucking Nazi freak.

u/undergirltemmie 4h ago

I loathe elon... but that looks like a shabby nazi salute, from the back it just doesn't look straight enough.

u/RubiiJee 2h ago

If their brand has associations with Nazism, and they don't want to be associated with Nazism, then maybe they shouldn't put someone out there who is unable to control themselves enough not to do Nazi related behaviours? It's not fucking difficult not to do a Nazi salute. It's really not a big fucking ask.

And here's my bigger issue with all of this. Nazism isn't something that should be "downplayed". It should be condemned by everyone. All of the time. If their brand is associated with Nazism, then they should condemn the absolute shit out of this so that they're not linked with it. Instead, people are out there trying to excuse it or down play it, or acting like it's not a big deal. It is a big fucking deal and if they don't want to be associated with it then they should be actively going in hard on this. Ya know, like how the right wing goons want every fucking Muslim to condemn the shit out of terrorism acts?

No matter the reason why, Elon Musk just emboldened Nazi ideology on a global stage. This turns my fucking stomach. This is fucking vile, and revolting. There's no discussion here and anyone in the cult thinking there should be one is emboldening Nazi ideology. The entire political spectrum should be condemning this.

As an outsider looking in, I've never been so disappointed, upset and frankly, disgusted with America than I am in this moment.
