Surely even the people who laud him as the saviour of British teenage girls against the evil Muslim hoards must have to admit he's gone too far
Rumour has it that he's so high on Ket (allegedly) all the time now anyway he doesn't care. I think he is just seeing how far he can go and with Trump in charge the sky is the limit.

I think his tweet in response makes it pretty clear he's against division and hate.

If that's true then he's not going to issue an apology for causing offence and his (good) intentions being misunderstood. It would go against everything he stands for.

I just hope the special relationship between Trump and Musk ruptures soon. They are bound to fall out over something at some point and neither will back down. Trump is dangerous, but he has been elected and we are stuck with him, but Musk is very dangerous and not elected. He needs to go.

I would imagine that for every person who thinks it was a Nazi salute there will be just as many who think it wasn't of you listen to what he was saying at the time.

I watched and listened. He made one Nazi salute. He turned around and made another Nazi salute. He turned back to the audience, paused and then did the "love you" bit.

And no, there will not be just as many who think it wasn't a Nazi salute because most people are not that gullible.

AzurePanda · 21/01/2025 12:49

It’s such a completely moronic allegation that I think he’s correct not to dignify it with any more of a response than he has.

Wonsunwell · 21/01/2025 12:50

Oh look...

Elon musk salute
boltt · 21/01/2025 12:50

I don't think it's a nazi salute but he was very very stupid to do something so similar to one.

Idiot.

Arayofcalm · 21/01/2025 12:52

He looks high off his head.

Has he ever been arrested or probed on drug charges? It's scary to see.

He really does. Utter cringe

If you are in a position where your innocent action can be interpreted as a Nazi salute, then maybe you really need to consider your position.

I think those of us who are questioning whether this was a Nazi salute would agree with this.

The vast majority of people agree it is a Nazi salute, and if you were in any doubt he turns around and does it again.

Well we must have watched two different videos then.

I saw a man clutch his heart then put his arm out to the crowd (twice) and saying "my heart goes out to you "

Oh look...

post the video of each one - then you can compare.

it is part of the classic far right playbook to do something like this and then gaslight everyone afterwards that you are totally innocent and being unfairly smeared. Then they turn away with a little smirk on their face feeling clever that they got away with it, and sowed a little more anger and division in the process.

Really? If you had inadvertently done something on an international platform that alarmed and distressed an enormous part of the population, you wouldn't find it in your heart to say something like,

I apologise for any upset or offence my actions caused. It was absolutely not my intent to make a gesture associated with Fascists.

So what he stands for is being a diseased loathsome fucking asshole who's unwilling or unable to care that he either purposely or accidentally mimed a signal used by people who callously murdered, in cold blood, over 6 million people?

I think people like you should be forced to follow the Auschwitz Museum and see daily the photos of beautiful babies, literally ripped out of their parents' arms and murdered.

Get real. Look at his facial expression, his pointed fingers. It’s a bloody salute and why are we even debating it!? That’s how divided we have all become. We can see something right in front of our eyes but we are being told it isn’t what we can all see it is! It’s like being in an abusive relationship.

Ketamine can be lawfully used for depression in the US.

The fact that it's a powerful hallucinogenic horse tranquiliser gets forgotten about.

Funny how there only a video of one of them doing the Nazi salute - Elon Musk.

The others are just AI.

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 21/01/2025 13:05

Makes me feel quite sick...

PeppyGreenFinch · 21/01/2025 13:06

Face of deliberate intent.

Elon musk salute
crumblingschools · 21/01/2025 13:08

@TooBigForMyBoots and then said 'the future of civilisation is assured' which together with the salute could be seen as concerning

You think that Elon Musk is against division and hate? He revels in it! He has the self-restraint of an adolescent boy who has just found a way to circumvent the parental controls on his devices.
