Not if you watch the edited version on Musk's own account.

Lonelycrab · 20/01/2025 22:23

Yup, that’s about as upfront as you can get.
Did it twice infact.
Couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing, then I thought about it for a moment and it perfectly predictable and to be expected.

MissyB1 · 20/01/2025 22:23

Wouldn't surprise me.

Scary

I found it very disturbing to view, especially given the look on his face with the first salute.

StandFirm · 20/01/2025 22:25

He's not hiding it. At all. Supports the AFD in Germany...

NOTANUM · 20/01/2025 22:31

We should all be afraid at the excuses for extremism in the US, less than 90 years since WW2.

Elon musk salute

There is no denying it's a fascist salute. I cannot believe Americans voted for this.

The Democrats have been in power for at least half of the last decade, they need to look at why the vote has gone like this. Why ordinary people are turning to the likes of trump and musk.

FridayNight1975 · 20/01/2025 22:44

i mean, Americans love that military salute with the hand on your forehead.

why on earth would he do this instead?

people seem to think he just loves to show he can get away with anything.

HattieHelvetia · 20/01/2025 22:46

I almost fell off the chair when I saw that.

Dandylione · 20/01/2025 22:46

It's so bizarre. I thought it was an unfortunate picture then I saw the video. Full on nazi salute.

BarbaraHoward · 20/01/2025 22:47

I honestly thought it was people twisting the truth until I watched the video. He does it twice. What. The. Fuck.

They have the death penalty in some states. These fools were destined for Musk.

He’s an odd, awkward guy. I gasped when I saw it. Then I wondered whether he had any self awareness. Does he know what he did? How it would look? Or did he think, he was making up his own cool thing?

His gaffes will certainly take attention off Trump.

Lonelycrab · 20/01/2025 22:49

He knows exactly what he’s doing

Greenkindness · 20/01/2025 22:51

People know who they voted for. Trump and his cronies have never hidden who they are, and people voted for Trump.

MrsRedTop · 20/01/2025 22:51

It’s not a gaffe. It’s a pre meditated and intentional dog whistle.

HattieHelvetia · 20/01/2025 22:52

It's really very disconcerting.

Longwaysouth · 20/01/2025 22:54

I happened to switch on a couple of moments before he did it on live. I gasped and said Oh My Dear God.
I was shocked.

Whimsicalgrape · 20/01/2025 22:54

Oh he knew what he was doing for sure, apparently he's edited the video to remove that on X

Sibilantseamstress · 20/01/2025 22:55

It’s nuts to do such a thing in front of the whole world. He cannot possibly think a Nazi salute would be well received!

It's not a gaffe. It's very deliberate and all part of the plan.
