Elon musk salute

[EasterIssland]

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

I don't know, it does seem we are living in the twilight zone. A lot of things we think "would never happen" have happened or are happening. And trump can probably just sign an executive order to make it so.

In a week that marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz.

I have no words.

I've just watched it, twice (so four salutes). It isn't a Nazi salute. Much as I dislike the narcissistic nerd, that was some ridiculous gesture meant to look heartfelt. It wasn't a salute of any kind.

The Nazi salute extended the arm in front of the body, ideally at 45°, never to the side. It was not preceded by a clutch of the chest.

Labelling any old arm extension a 'Nazi salute' just makes you look absurd. That said, I imagine President Wotsit's fans will adopt it, because they are absurd and will think it's some right-wing symbol.

I agree. We need to wake up, this is happening. Unbelievable, yes, but also, as a previous poster said, predictable. It is absolutely chilling.

Thats ypur opinion.

I disagree.

I think it is a nazi salute.

Clearly just waving their arms in excitement and the photographer caught them at an awkward moment.

You know, I know quite a few people with ASD diagnoses, but I can't remember any of them ever doing accidental fascist salutes while otherwise appearing entirely in control of their actions...

I knew trump was very right wing.

They're getting bolder.

And in the United States, bigot racist is ushered into office on Martin Luther King day.

Surreal.

Well let’s just see what the fans start doing and then we will see whether it looks like a Nazi salute

I wasn’t surprised, this has been on the cards since the election. It’s disgusting but predictable honestly. America is no longer the country it used to be. The American dream is officially dead. It all feels so scary.

It’s not a Nazi salute. He raises his arm in the air, briefly, twice, while saying “my heart goes out to you”. Watch the actual clip with sound.

You can disagree but you're wrong.

Except practically everyone else is in disagreement with you and everyone knows what they saw.

but you do you

I did. I posted it. The guy is a nazi fuckhead.

Honestly, I'm hoping for chaos. The first four years of Trump were chaos and, whilst the whole thing was deeply embarrassing, the damage was relatively limited.

What terrifies me much more is the thought that this time they have an organised and disciplined plan, and the team to bring it off.

Bring back covfefe. Chaos is good.

Asshole

I've watched it.

It's a nazi salute. In my opinion

What's different between the pictures?

They look very similiar to me

Actually I've just watched the video again and he's thanking the crowd for electing Trump and the 'salute' is accompanied by the words 'my heart goes out to you'. So he thumps his chest and flings his arm out as if he's miming his heart going out to the crowd. He turns around and does the same to the people behind him.

It does very much look like a nazi salute but I'm not sure that was his intention. However he ought to have had enough sense to realise what it would look like.

Those photos look the same!

You are delusional!

But wouldn’t you sweep your arm round if you were spreading the love from your heart not stick your arm out at that sort of angle that he has done

It doesn't look like a nazi salute in the video. He puts his hand on his heart then kind of flings his arm out to the side. The photograph is misleading. I think he's thanking people and gesturing to them, because they made it happen (the election victory).

We all know better than to stick our arm straight in the air.

Especially when giving a speech in front of loads of people!

Insane. I don’t quite know what’s happening right now. It’s a bit of a surreal nightmare.
