While the final pose is practically identical to a Nazi solute, the motion is completely different. Hitler’s lifts straight up, like a crane; Musk’s sweeps out from the heart. That’s why I was not sure.
Okay, I reviewed what the actual Nazi salute looks like. Having done this, I actually do think this strongly resembles a Nazi salute. I think p>80% this was intentional.
I still think it’s possible this was unintentional, and even more likely that it was intended to toe the line of plausible deniability. When I show this to people in real life, they are unsure, so I don’t think it’s as clean-cut and undeniable as people on social media are saying it is.
Nah, he’s just laughing at the fact that you were once fooled that it wasn’t a fascist salute. If the first one didn’t look like one, the second one confirmed it like a second plane on
I still think ~20% chance he was not channeling a Nazi salute here and it was just a coincidentally similar gesture. If it was just a coincidentally similar gesture, it’s still likely he’d have repeated it, so the fact that he repeated it doesn’t sway me much.
I promise you Musk is no fool and knew exactly what he was doing: signaling to other fascist that the thing they were told to “stand back and stand by” for has finally arrived.
The fact that neo-nazis are going to interpret this as a sign of support is what makes this really dangerous, and that’s what matters. Musk’s coy responses on twitter/x basically proves he wants this outcome. Whether there’s a small chance this wasn’t intentional in the first place doesn’t really matter. If you want to ban me for this opinion, please go ahead and do it now.

…how??
He even did it twice, as angrily as possible
His arm goes out to the side, in a beckoning motion; the nazi salute goes forward.
What the fuck world are you living in where there is any mistaking it for what it is?

“it’s only a nazi salute if it is from the Nazideuxe region of France!”
thank you for being the only person here with a good sense of humour, @[email protected] could take notes :P
I was mocking you.
I’m well aware lol, I just think you did it better
Big oof
So what? He’s out of practice? He’s not historically accurate? He definitely tried to throw out a Nazi salute.
It is a Nazi salute.
Musk is just shit at performing it. It’s still a Nazi salute.
I hope you gargle some balls, you stupid cunt.
good idea, i’ll go do that
Consider for the moment that he’s rolling his face off so he’s just doing what comes natural and makes him feel warm inside.
the odds of Elon getting anything right approach zero. it was definitely his best attempt at two nazi salutes
I’m asking this genuinely, how did the salute Elon gave differ from what you think a nazi salute is?

O shit someone changed their mind on the internet? Impossible, you must be a deep state agent

I definitely think he was trying to be ambiguous, he just… failed to do so lol
Seriously? You approve of this dirtbag enough to use him as a reaction image?

If you don’t wise up you may end up a baby thrown out with the
water.
