I haven’t read the full thread so hoping someone has covered this but he is saying “my heart goes out to you” putting his hand on his heart and flinging out his arm. It is quite transparently not a Nazi salute.

You are wrong as a wrong thing can be

Well I learned from them today that the socially awkward are prone to Nazi salutes.

Well no but if I took a photo reel of me all day there'd be plenty of awkward poses.

Scary how we must submit to this one true opinion on somebody elses' body language.

I hope everyone posting in favour of this gesture is whiter than white with all their family so, with no disabilities and plenty of money. Because that's the template that's coming

Complete hysteria!

bombastix · 21/01/2025 10:32

@rewilded more of a prescription based on observation. I'll be okay. How about you?

fromthevault · 21/01/2025 10:34

@AzurePanda you're right, it is 'odd' that the AdF supporting, eugenecist, white supremacist billionaire would behave in such a way. A mystery for the ages, indeed.

I’m sorry but we all do awkward poses, never once in my life has anyone mistaken a gesture or a pose that I or anyone else has done as a nazi salute.

Because that is a pretty deliberate movement.

Some people will defend anything a rich white man does. Apartheid Clyde has not changed. I am not in any way surprised by this.
And those who watch the video and still do not see... are lost. You can't save everyone though.

Why are you trying to cause conflict and fear?

There’s a big big difference between still images and video footage i dont know if you're new to the internet or something.

And a still image is taken from a video in the first place, I don't know if you're new to the Internet or something.

@fromthevault piss poor explanation? Perhaps you could explain why someone would say “my heart goes out to you”, put their hand on their heart and then immediately do a Nazi salute? Seems kind of odd to say the least.

Hope you have the have the same outrage for the actual Nazi sentiments we’ve been seeing openly on our streets for the past 15 months.

Interesting! I bet the same posters on here would support Palestine in another thread and the rights for anti-Istreal protesters to be anti semetic.

All the Elon handmaidens out in force today.

@rewilded I think your effort to minimize says far more than I ever could

A nazi salute is a salute performed by a Nazi. The question is if he is a Nazi.
A salute in itself is not proof of being a Nazi. Otherwise kids playing a game doing salutes would all be Nazis.

So what is the proof that he is a Nazi?

Walrusdress · 21/01/2025 10:46

This thread is embarrassing

ApoodlecalledPenny · 21/01/2025 10:46

Wow. If it wasn't, he'd have apologised, surely, for accidentally making a gesture that will cause offence around the world. "Throwing your heart out" isn't even a thing, so it's hard to see what gesture he was trying to do. And the force with which he did it... it was intentional, IMO.

Of course it is but when you put things in their full context they can appear quite different. And when you watch the full context of the Musk video it’s very apparent what the context and actions are. Despite the insane gaslight folk like you are engaging in of trying to make the rest of us believe that what we are seeing, is not infact what we are seeing.

All very 1984, that’s a book reference by the way. You should try reading some instead of memes and right wing X accounts.

If I carry a hammer and sickle is it reasonable comment to speculate I'm a communist? Yes.

Pah: he's going to make mint out of angry, poor white people. And let in some "good immigrants" to meet his business needs. US as South Africa

This quote perfectly sums up what it's like dealing with the "Oh, poor Elon, he's so misunderstood" crowd.

The troll bible before they were called trolls.

Elon musk is a supporter of Israel and the Jewish people. He did not do a Nazi salute. This is sheer silliness when we see weekly hate marches with actual antisemites doing Nazi salutes on our streets

He did a FASCIST salute. It's not about Jewish people this time.

I wonder why the Musk supporters are not using this as a comparator rather than Obama and Harris

Elon musk salute

Surely the two are not mutually exclusive.
