I never actually watched the video. Now that I watched I think he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute. He pressed his chest before raising his hand. I think he meant to salute his audience. That would also align with what he’s saying.
Unbelievable how such a trivial and unimportant comment can trigger such a fuss. Why can you not relax for a moment and be happy? I meant no harm with my comment. But you you certainly do.
Hitler also did it. The only difference was that Elon Musk did so with more vigour. If he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute, why did he respond with Nazi puns rather than apologizing?
Cool cool cool. So since it looks like a Nazi salute and was maybe accidental, he will surely apologize for the appearance and make sure no one misunderstands and thinks he is green lighting Naziism. That would be a good way to know. Should not take more than 24 hours. Even a tweet would help. Or a Xit or whatever we should call it now.
He had ample opportunity to go back and apologize, say he didn’t mean to, with how it looked, anything. But no he went to double down with anti semitism, and supporting the afd. He didn’t, it was a nazi salute, and it shouldn’t be shouldn’t be defended.
First of all, I’m not defending anyone. You lack reading comprehension. Me saying I interpret this not as a Nazi salute does not imply I like Musk or think he’s not a Nazi.
Second, I’m not deleting any messages. They got removed by mods for being insulting. So are other messages by other people who insulted me. But you can see that as it says “removed by mods”. Back to reading comprehension…
Go ahead and save screenshots of my comments and fill up your storage. You realize how this sounds right? You need to relax buddy. This is just a random thread on the internet. Nothing life-changing. Go outside, see the sun.
Bro you’re lost man. You’re way too personally involved in this drama. You’re just completely lost. And I’m lost for words. I tag you as a banana. Because.
People on the internet are way too soft and emotional these days. Man-up and stop wining about trivialities. My comment was not Nazi related. It was just an observation. No reason to be insulting.
lmfao the fucking 1984 doublespeak shit that lets these fucks edge their way into normalcy shouldn’t be tolerated. he did a roman solute full stop. why is this even something that people entertain debating?
act like they’re the stupid fucking idiots they are so they go crawling back into the depths of hell in shame, where they came from
Roman salute comes from rome indeed.
Its historical indeed, namely q930s.
Coincidentally made by the same people who invented faschsim, coincidentally named faschists.
At birth God must have swapped your mouth for your asshole because everything you say is shit. The Roman salute never existed. It was used in art after the Roman empire. Nazis saw it and liked it and used it as their salute. Elon is absolutely doing a Nazi salute. Twice. Now get the fuck back to X where your supreme leader can save you from the real world and free speech.
The claim that the salute has its origins in ancient Rome is dubious at best and ignores the fact that the salute is immediately associated with Nazism. Not a single Roman work of art depicts the salute. Don’t you think that’s a little fishy? There is evidence that it actually originated from the National Fascist Party, under Mussolini. Suffice to say there’s no good evidence that it originated from ancient Rome as opposed to it being a relatively new thing starting from the turn of the 20th century and originating in fascism.

Oh i read your post and now that i did it’s very clear you meant he was doing nazi salutes.
I’m blocking you, but before I do I want you to know I hope you go out like Hitler did.
Unbelievable how such a trivial and unimportant comment can trigger such a fuss. Why can you not relax for a moment and be happy? I meant no harm with my comment. But you you certainly do.
I’d say you’re dumb as dog shit, but comparatively you make dog shit look smart.
Thanks <3 This comment actually made my day.
Just wanted some attention, eh?
Started with a genuine comment. But with all of these trolls insulting me for no reason it quickly turned into amusement and trolling back.
Hitler also did it. The only difference was that Elon Musk did so with more vigour. If he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute, why did he respond with Nazi puns rather than apologizing?
there is no doubts that he is total #nazi
Have you ever watched American History X? Go see how neo-nazis salute each other.
You mean the 2 times he did it? Once toward the crowd and then toward the flag… like a nazi?
It’s people like you why I have to keep this damn gif around:
Seeing this, or a similar one, was what made me realise there was no other plausible explanation for what he was doing.
hes the type to watch history channel but only the parts about the nazis.
unfortunately I didn’t think my own actions through, the placement of your gif and the context compelled me to like it, now I feel dirty.
Also if they say they are not 100% the same tell them that American Nazis did add the chest slap to the whole thing.
Cool cool cool. So since it looks like a Nazi salute and was maybe accidental, he will surely apologize for the appearance and make sure no one misunderstands and thinks he is green lighting Naziism.

damn those tricky accidental nazi gestures.
Were you born this fucking stupid or did you have to take classes?
Who am I gonna believe? You or my lying eyes?
He did it twice. That’s not an oops.
Even Musk hasn’t denied it was a Nazi salute. Twice.
He only said that he doesn’t want to be called Hitler.
He’s not Hitler in this scenario. Hes Goebbels.
Elon “Go balls” Musk. Hmmm.
He was saluting his audience… Not unlike Hitler
Gonna tag you as ‘fucking moron’
He had ample opportunity to go back and apologize, say he didn’t mean to, with how it looked, anything. But no he went to double down with anti semitism, and supporting the afd. He didn’t, it was a nazi salute, and it shouldn’t be shouldn’t be defended.
Did you believe him when he said owning a Tesla would actually pay you when it drives itself in…2015?
Yes, the way a Nazi would - now shut the fuck up about it not being a Nazi salute.
You shut the fuck up. Bring your toxicity and unhappy life elsewhere.
Imagine some random person on the internet said something you don’t like and you immediately get triggered like that. Laughable.
Imagine being tolerant of fucking nazis lmao. C’mon bro. That’s lame.
You’re making a lot of assumtions. Musk is a prick and I hate him. What makes you think I tolerate him?
Guy goes out of his way to defend Musk, turns around with ‘BuT AcKsHuAlLy I hAtE mUsK! cHeCkMaTe LoSeRs!’
I’ll be reminding you of this conversation if I see you commenting again.
Don’t bother deleting or editing your messages, I’ve already got them screenshot and saved.

Ok, I’m tagging you as a Nazi. Dude, outright white supremacist groups adopted and immediately started performing the exact same kind of salute.
You are either a total fucking dipshit or you’re a bad actor. Either way, fuck off back to Reddit.
Bro you’re lost man. You’re way too personally involved in this drama. You’re just completely lost. And I’m lost for words. I tag you as a banana. Because.
How many assumptions did I cram into a couple sentences? Lmao. I didn’t say anything about musk. My statement was about nazis.
Bring you’re insane Nazi apologist shit elsewhere, dude. As everyone else said, it and you are not wanted here.
imagine being a stupid fucking ingrate who is directly responsible for the downfall of democratic ideals?
fuck you asshole
Ok. Cool. Now fuck you too. Stupid imbecile.
Fuck off cunt
Fuck off :)
Seriously, go back to x, you are not wanted here
What is X? Never used it. I prefer the Fediverse.
Dipshit fucking moron huh…
Yes sir
Anything remotely Nazi related should probably trigger people
People on the internet are way too soft and emotional these days. Man-up and stop wining about trivialities. My comment was not Nazi related. It was just an observation. No reason to be insulting.
Yeah, you’re right, people are too soft.
They should do that was done to Nazis during the war instead. Let me know if you volunteer walking into a BAR.
Yes. That includes you, here, in this thread.
Why are you defending fascists by running defense for them? That’s a really bad look.
Ehhh. It’s pretty Nazi.
They are both doing it wrong. Nazis don’t even know how to do it properly xD.
early on there was an analysis that showed it was closest to the South African right wing version. Which kinda makes sense, no?
why does it matter?
lmfao the fucking 1984 doublespeak shit that lets these fucks edge their way into normalcy shouldn’t be tolerated. he did a roman solute full stop. why is this even something that people entertain debating?

please don’t do double speak: calling it a roman salute is already trying to give it any historical rationalisation.
it is a nazi salute. there is little to no evidence of romans doing that salute. the only history with that gesture starts around 1914.
Hitler is doing his own salute wrong?
What do you mean? Hitler is doing the Roman salute. Which is not what Musk was doing in this video.
Roman salute comes from rome indeed. Its historical indeed, namely q930s. Coincidentally made by the same people who invented faschsim, coincidentally named faschists.
Read a single fucking book.
Exactly.

Do you have any historical references to Romans doing that? Cause all I can find are fascists doing a salute called a Roman salute.
