If he didn't mean it as a nazi salute he would just say so on x. It's not like he struggles to get himself heard. That fact that he hasn't issued a clarification speak volumes.

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 00:05

Fuckin nazis are back

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 00:05

A lot of people are talking about this online on different forums now

Genuinely made my blood run cold. And a stadium of fools giving him a standing ovation.

Looked coked off his face to me.

They didn't even wait one day before going full reich. And nobody knows how to deal with it, CNN were obviously very worried about calling out what the world could very clearly see.

Dangerous dangerous territory, if you enjoy massive understatement.

CNN ffs 🤦‍♀️ yeah they’re really believable

Day 1 and mainstream media couldn’t wait to pump out false information for gullibles. They’ve gotta make $$$ for their failing business model somehow. For those who watched it live, it clearly is not a Nazi salute.
Any still image can be misconstrued out of context as is evidenced by the ones you’ve hopefully seen by now with Hillary, Obama with their arms outstretched etc.

as the mn saying goes, are you all on glue? 🤡

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 00:07

Ah Elon Elon Elon.

I have to say I like the name Elon though

crumblingschools · 21/01/2025 00:08

Maybe Musk was on glue. His staring during the inauguration was quite scary

RedToothBrush · 21/01/2025 00:09

I have come to the conclusion that Musk could have been wearing a fake pencil moustache and a swastika pin badge and there'd STILL be people on MN saying "it wasn't a Nazi salute, he's got Asperger's and just got over excited waving his hands about".

The 'best interpretation' here at this point is that Musk is a massive troll and is getting a kick out of winding up people. The worst, is he's got a cabinet full of signed Third Reich memorabilia in his office (cos he apparently doesn't have a house he lives in).

Agreed. Not a nazi salute.

Do you ever feel like russian bots are everywhere?

MrsRedTop · 20/01/2025 22:51

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

At this point it's more like a dog bark

anonymous98 · 21/01/2025 00:10

I won't lie, it's terrifying.

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 21/01/2025 00:10

Applecharm25 · 20/01/2025 23:52

Thats ypur opinion.

I disagree.

I think it is a nazi salute.

100%. ^

Laughable, but also terrifying that a few posters are denying this! The apologists on here are a disgrace! Angry

Lol!

I mean he doesn't wave his hands at all!.

He stuck his arm straight out.

Yet someone said "ah he was just waving his hands about"

ilovemoney · 21/01/2025 00:11

This thread is so bonkers. He was clearly touching his heart and throwing it and he then said he was throwing his heart out there.
he is awkward and has autism.
he is not a politician.
he is a genius and is massively generous to charities.
he has recently visited auchwitz
seriously what are you all on.

Pablova · 21/01/2025 00:12

He was on the world stage being watched by millions and throws his arm very intentionally in to the air, in a gesture that very closely resembles that of a nazi salute.
He knows fine fucking well what he was doing.
Ah well let’s just blame his ASD for that, shall we.

When we have to worry is when they all stop making excuses and say they are proud of it.

noblegiraffe · 21/01/2025 00:12

He absolutely needs to make a statement (he has been posting on twitter since the incident). If it's all fine, why has it been edited out of the clip of his speech that he posted?

Hi Elon.

Yeah Russian bots everywhere

Trying to claim a nazi salute isn’t a nazi salute

on Internet forums all over the world right now

Trying to mop up the obvious damage musk has done.

crumblingschools · 21/01/2025 00:13

Wouldn’t Russian bots be saying it wasn’t a Nazi salute

anonymous98 · 21/01/2025 00:13

I am also (probably) mildly autistic and I have never done a Nazi salute

😂 Stop it!

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 00:13

You known when he turns around and does the second nazi salute.

Who is he doing that one to?

Nightmarewithdelirium · 21/01/2025 00:14

I hate Elon Musk. But he probably didn't. It's probably just that it looked and bit like he did so the media went with it coz it attracts attention, gets clicks and engagement, so makes them money. No one really gives a shit of its true or not. They can all just use it. The left to say he's a fascist and the right to say the left are awful and twist the truth, and the centre to say shit like 'they are both sides of the same coin'

Trump and musk are Putins little puppy dogs
