Elon Musk Gives Nazi Salute
Jan 21^st, 2025 at 10:49am

Nobody is surprised though.

Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes during celebrations of the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump.

“I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” the owner of SpaceX, X and Tesla, the richest person on earth and a major Trump donor and adviser, told Trump supporters at the Capital One Arena in Washington.

Musk then slapped his right hand into his chest, fingers splayed, before shooting out his right arm on an upwards diagonal, fingers together and palm facing down.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which campaigns against antisemitism, defines the Nazi salute as “raising an outstretched right arm with the palm down”.

As the crowd roared, Musk turned and saluted again, his arm and hand slightly lower.

So he is a nazi, now he has captured America he is signalling his troops to prepare to take over the world. Musk has risen to king, all hail King Elon.

Who would have thought it would take minutes, not days, weeks or months for the true colours to come out.

Pepper your Angus friends, it's going to be an interesting 4 years. At this point, the US will get what it deserves.

I have no sympathy anymore. MAGA certainly don't given their reaction to the Wildfires.

Why should we?

I just hope they keep their damage contained within their borders, don't bring the rest of the world down with you Trump.

If they come out of this in one piece, hopefully they don't forget the mistakes they made for generations to come.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw the vid earlier. I thought it must be AI generated surely?
Bad omen. And that expression of “ph-uck you” on his face.
And Trump with a look of defiance with downturned lips the whole time…what’s with that?
This all looks like a bad combo…these billionaires….
Just my take on it…I hope I’m wrong.
Them there be revengeful whales Undecided

Power corrupts… but absolute power….etc

I’ve watched it… still looks Nazi Cheesy

Not that it’s meant to be but just very much looks it.
Body language and all … innit?
It’s not like hailing a taxi is it?

Looking forward to Trump declassifying JFK killing.

Of course it was a Nazi salute...

Only Musk, being the 15-year-old SAFA he is, doesn't comprehend the messaging in it...

South Africa's history of having been a quasi-fascist pariah state for so long, has left its white minority locked into an anachronistic cultural timezone.

It looks Nazi because it was Nazi.

It was a very intentional Nazi salute - and not once, but twice.

I agree - I have very little sympathy.

Trump told them over and over what he was going to be, and they didn't listen.

Now they'll pay for it.
