Elon musk salute

[EasterIssland]

Has he really done a nazi salute in the trump inauguration celebration? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I just watched it - he said thank you to the crowd, put his hand to his heart and then up to the crowd. So the nazi salute now includes a requirement to say "thank you" and put your hand on your heart before you put your hand up to the crowd? When you blow a kiss you put your hand to your mouth and then up to face who you want to blow a kiss to - straighten your arm a bit too much and that becomes a nazi salute?

All his policies are pro people, not nazi. Think about it for a bit.

It is people who are not pro people who will try to discredit now. Attempts on lives, organised groups against the establishment, destabilising, discrediting. The play book plays on. US or abroad.

He is very self aware and knew what he was doing. He is that man who keeps pushing the boundaries and feigns innocence. He is power mad and has created a universe that he can manipulate and control to his advantage.
The “my heart goes out to you” part was just a way to cover it up because that is not a throwing gesture. Everybody knows it’s. Some of us are in shock, disgust and fear. Others in a weird paralysis because we don’t want to believe that just happened in full sight and then there are those for whom it was meant and who feel emboldened by it.

Hitler was a master at manipulating the average person, he made people believe that they were the good guys. He filled their heads with poison and turned neighbours into enemies. If you believe this is an innocent gesture are you also a person who hates a certain group of people who you blame for all the ills in this country?

Spot on.

The hand in the heart is the full Nazi salute.

You know that right?

The Independent says he responded to the criticism of the gesture in a post on X. 'Frankly they need better dirty tricks. The "everyone is Hitler" attack is so tired'.
So he's unapologetic.

(cough cough) it is currently 4am in the US
I will give Elon and Donald a call now though and tell them that you are demanding that they get up - right now - and make a statement.

What on earth does pro people mean? Even more populist jargon.

Post a video of you doing it then. Post it on here and where all your friends and family can see it. Post it where your boss can see it and tag the people you work for. If it’s so harmless. Go on support your hero and post it.

This so true. I’ve reflected a lot over the last few years about how much learning about that time during History lessons at school actually taught me. It’s really important to understand how he did it and be able to see it.

Actually no I didn't. Funny that, because we don't often get to see that full nazi salute anymore. Which is why, notwithstanding my error (if it was one), it is highly unlikely what Elon Musk did was a nazi salute either.

Did the full nazi salute also require them to say thank you? No blowing kisses, I take it?

Gosh, MN is just such a mine of information. You live and learn.

He is saying it was not a nazi salute. How much clearer does he need to be?

Evil people? You mean evil men.

You would take Musk’s word for it? Famously honest man that he is 🙄

Strange that he managed to throw his heart out there.....in a very pronounced nazi salute.
Surely you would sweep both arms out to the crowd.

I have just imagined myself on stage, wanting to 'throw my heart' to the crowd. I put both hands on my chest, then threw both arms out and wide, palms up. Surely that would be most people's choice of gesture, rather than the Musk one?

The anti-immigrant rhetoric. The contempt for democracy. The Nazi salutes. If you’re still using X or driving a Tesla you’re supporting an extremely high profile and powerful neo-Nazi.

People defending Elon Musk on any basis are an absolute embarrassment to themselves.

ooo I missed those words...where exactly were they written?

Um, no. He's simply saying he's not actually Hitler, which is technically true. Can't get him on that.

@brunettemic - tell me exactly what hitler did to rise to power which is the same as what trump farage etc are doing? You are talking utter nonsense. Tell me Hitler's game plan from the 1920s to the point at which his party was elected. Exactly what he did, how he liased with other parties in power and other elected officials. Exactly what his policies were. And why. And then draw parallels to what is being done today. And then report back. Thank you!

He appears as if he's on drugs. He can barely pronounce some words and just slurs through them.

So arguably the highest profile man in the world, known for his right wing views and evoking controversy throws two Nazi salutes at a high profile political event, aligning himself with one of the most destructive and evil political movements the world has ever seen.

But then afterwards sort of says that it wasn’t a Nazi salute. And that makes it absolutely fine, apparently.

@RetroTotty exactly, or if you were using one arm wouldn’t you use a sweeping gesture to cover more of the audience whilst spreading your love and with an open palm

in what was quoted by you! read it again

I don't think Trump is a literal Nazi either.

It does appear Musk is, and even before the salute and the hat there was enough info to be suspicious.

I think Trump doesn't actually care that Musk holds these views, he wants him for his wealth and influence. And Musk wants access to the Oval Office.

No good comes of this regardless of Trump's actual views.

Ketamine.

No one has to agree with his bs or buy his stuff. Or use his social media.
