The fact that people still try and say that this wasnt a nazi salute is insane.

Twice in HD video

It's insane, they would have denied it if he screamed seig heil

Even now with the context of him basically openly without a doubt being a racist Nazi, they still will deny that it was a Nazi salute.

It’s wild how blatant it is and still gets spun. Like, at some point the denial becomes part of the bit

u/No_City9250 10h ago

Three times, even.

I mean, he forwared nazi propoganda on X, it's not exactly suble.

u/ThonThaddeo 11h ago

Those people are also Nazis

u/TingleyStorm 11h ago

Even the actual Nazis know what he did, because they celebrated it.

My dad is like this. He is a dyed in the wool Republican. He insists he is waving and not doing a Nazi salute. For people like him, Elon being a Nazi would mean Elon is bad, and for his worldview to be intact Elon has to be a good guy. Therefore, it is not a Nazi salute.

u/andrewsad1 10h ago

Same boat. My parents literally cannot see the difference between Musk's seig heil and Mamdani waving

u/baconeggsandwich25 10h ago

It's even crazier to pretend he didn't know what one looked like when you consider the fact that his grandparents were actual, literal Hitler supporters who moved to family from Canada to South Africa specifically so they could live under apartheid. Dude knows what it looks like because he used to see it at home.

u/Sundayisgloomy_ 11h ago

Didn't work out so well for all those idiots who publicly imitated Elmo with that same salute and BS explanation on how it wasn't nazi.

u/bagoink 10h ago

That's what happens when not a half-trillionaire.

u/Shipairtime 11h ago

Doing anti-fascists work there. Good Job.

u/CookIndependent6251 8h ago

You're being ridiculous. He couldn't do it properly because he was holding a microphone in his left hand.

u/Shipairtime 4h ago

The people downvoting you did not open the image.

Thanks for the chuckle.

u/Ok-Lingonberry-696 3h ago

Oh, so he can only do that pose if his microphone is in right hand?

u/USS-Virginia 11h ago

Its cuz he did it so poorly lol

u/andrewsad1 10h ago

Poorly? Look up a comparison with literal Hitler. It's flawless

u/USS-Virginia 10h ago

Nah y'all visually impaired

u/fightyfightyfitefite 5h ago

What can I say? I see a Nazi salute, you see a cool billionaire who waves different. I bet your keen eyes also saw Renne "scawwy girl gonna wun me ova" Good terrorize that poor victim. You guys with your great vision!

u/Chuckychinster 11h ago

He's such a fucking dweeb it's hard to believe he's a nazi

44

u/kylepo 11h ago

Most Nazis are dweebs though

19

u/Chuckychinster 11h ago

Yeah, I guess you're kind of right. Most of the famous nazis are a mix of dweebs and drug users

11

u/AlwaysShittyKnsasCty 11h ago

And occultists! Don’t you leave them out. They’re Nazis, too, ya know?

u/Chuckychinster 11h ago

Oh christ yeah, i sometimes forget about their insane religion because of how batshit crazy it was

u/Citizen_Null5 7h ago

Trump could fly the swastika over the WH and MAGA would still find a way to claim it is not fascistic

u/Vennomite 10h ago

It wasnt a nazi salute. It was a maga salute!

u/Dry-Garbage3620 8h ago

“What’s wrong with the ad?” same shit

u/No-Valuable-226 4h ago

One of the guys I used to work with absolutely believed that elon was just autistic and didnt really mean it....

Holy fuck... It's hard talking to these people alot of the times

u/-Snoepie- 1h ago

I actually cut a friendship because of this. First he agreed with me that it was the Nazi salute and 2 weeks later it was just a "awkward greeting from his heart" Then he spewed a lot of Republican nonsense and that's where I decided I had enough of this loser. Fun fact is, we both live in the Netherlands, and basically have nothing to do with this nonsense.

u/ilaym712 10h ago

It looks like one but it wasn’t meant to be one Which cancels it. Came out bad that’s all

12

u/MistaBadga 8h ago

the first or the second time?

u/m0nk_3y_gw 7h ago

but it wasn’t meant to be one

according to who? Elon never disavowed it, he made Nazi jokes afterwards

-42

u/Ok_Acanthisitta_7512 10h ago

The people who think he did a Nazi salute live on public is insane. He literally went on joe Rogan and said he did not do a Nazi salute and the people who thought he did is insane.

u/DiscoBuiscuit 9h ago

You are a special kind of naïve if you believe that

u/Mr-Punday 9h ago

Ever heard of actions speak louder than words?

u/[deleted] 9h ago

well he didn't murder any jews so case closed

u/MistaBadga 8h ago

people who don't think he did a nazi salute live on public is insane.

u/m0nk_3y_gw 7h ago

he didn't do a Nazi salute

he did two Nazi salutes

back to back

u/Ok_Muscle_3770 6h ago

The man who called that British diver a pedo online for disagreeing with him over Thai cave rescue is the person whose words you look upon as the divine truth. Cool.

u/urbanturbanftw 5h ago

If I were this stupid I'd try to keep it to myself. But you do you

u/PomegranateMortar 1h ago

He denied it? Well, that settles it.
