Reminder that Zionists like to collaborate with antisemites, in the hopes of accelerating emigration to Israel.
Wait, stop! I think I heard this story already.
Not so fun fact: early on Hitler was a zionist, or at least considered it a good “solution” to the “Jewish question” before he came up with the final solution.

remember guys, it’s only a nazi if they do a nazi salute while saying “heil hitler I’m a nazi kill all jews and other minorities” just like it’s only a racist if they’re burning a cross and yelling the hard R and saying “I’m a racist”, but only if they do it all at the same time. 2 out of 3 doesnt qualify.

Yes, and I agree with them. Musk is a disgusting racist Nazi asshole.

Friend, there’s no way you can convince anyone, especially not a German. Shuffle back into the shadows.
The same Germans that lock people up for calling the police Nazis… You’re proud of your pro-fascist state that resembles your Nazi beginnings?
Being proud of things you had nothing to do with is incredibly stupid. I’m happy to be here, yes, but what the fuck should I be proud of? I didn’t do it myself. And the rest of your message just shows how clueless you are of everything outside of your hate bubble. So, no, you won’t get to anger me.
Yes. At best, he is an apologist for Israel/Zionism which does not represent Jewish people as a whole. Zionists hated Holocaust victims and were Nazi collaborators.

You voted for Stein. You don’t get opinions, bitch. At least vote for the person you’re choosing to elect you spineless piece of shit.

May i ask, why you spend so much time today defending musk doing the facist salute?
I mean you could have done many more productive things, why white knighting the allegedly richest man in the world?
Democrats aren’t dressed in Biden or Kamala gear head to toe. You’ve got it wrong where the cult behavior is. And easily so.

Edit: I appreciate the vote count and the moderators leaving my comments up. I want to dial it back though. I’ve eaten my annual allotment of troll bait and I want to dial back my rage at stupidity.
Who knows what someone is going through any given day. I was less kind than usual bc I’m stressed out like everyone is, so maybe so is this other person. I’m bowing out and saving my susceptibility to rage bait for actual Nazis.
Lol you are projecting your authoritarian fantasies cause you were abused as a child? You want to feel like you can fight back & could have stopped it. Was it your parents that beat you or maybe an uncle took gratification in it? I’m sorry you were abused but it is no excuse for the wannabe violent fascist thug you’ve become. You’d get your ass beat again and have to go through the trauma again. I just don’t think you’d be able to handle it. You’re better off finding peace & love from within. It’s okay that you’re built smaller or weaker than others. You can find a hobby or job that brings you some joy.
So, Nazi salute = bad
Vote for genocide = good
Bad faith argument. ✌️
He did the salute. And talked about the Great Replacement Theory. And endorsed the fucking AfD. And named himself Kekius Maximus.
He’s a Nazi, Jack, wake up.
Has Elon said it wasn’t a Nazi salute? No.
Have you seen the video? He did an unmistakable Nazi salute to the crowd, then turned around and did the same Nazi salute towards the USA flag. This was as Sieg heil as Nazi salutes come.

What the hell are you on about?
Elon Musk does an unmistakable Nazi salute, you claim he was just “waving”, despite there not even having been a waving motion, just the one swing from left shoulder to full extended right arm, which is a textbook Nazi salute. And now you come with whataboutism about Hamas and I don’t even know what’s the point of it.
What kind of troll are you?
What kind of troll are you?
A poor one.
Yeah, I already had him marked as a “both sides” troll lol.
I know you wanted to be sarcastic but you ended up not making any sense.
In no time ever has a Nazi gripped their heart like that before reaching out their hand. I just went through countless videos of fucking Nazis to confirm this. Stop spreading misinformation /disinformation
So a Nazi salute has to be totally historically accurate for you to see it for what it is, but you can “give your heart” to an audience with a hand raised and downturned and you have no issue with that explanation? If you give, your hand is generally upturned. That is the gesture. Golly gosh I wonder why he did it that way instead 🤔🤔🤔 total mystery.
So according to you, Elon Musk has his heart in his upper left side longue, close to his left shoulder. Sounds like one special kind of human.
And if that’s just waving, then why according to you did he wave to the American flag? Is that just how south-africans salute the usa flag, by “waving” at it?
And I also call bullshit on the claim of having watched countless videos. If you had, then you had seen a much greater variety of Nazi salutes. Nazis as they got older and/or higher in the Nazi hierarchy, they became sloppier with the Nazi salutes. Sometimes the mind is willing, but the body says no.
Nothing I say to explain further why it isn’t a Nazi salute won’t matter. It’s evident your bias will cloud any rational discourse.
I still would love to hear your explanation of why he is “waving” at the American flag.
This needs to be auto-replied to every doubting asshole.
I’m doing my part manually 😛

He done it twice and repeated a version of the 14-words after it, thanking them for securing the nations future.

I didn’t say any of that I just said he definitely meant to do a Nazi salute.

You can do a Nazi salute without wanting to exterminate all Jews. Learn some nuance.
That’s just called moving your arm dude.
They’ve done a number on you brother

Cool. What is your walkaround for the crap he’s pulling in Germany’s politics right now, with their far right?
He can be both a nazi, and not do the back salute? Not sure 😂
Afaik musk is yet to explicitly deny it. Laughing at adl doesn’t count
If this kind of greeting is so much in your standard repertoire that you just accidentally without thinking go for it in such a moment… Then it is not the “stupid PC police trying to claim everything is offensive”. It is offensive. Which normal person does that?
Edit: I mean, seriously, look at this

Elon could come out in a SS uniform and you’d probably just suggest he’s really into historical reenactment, give me a fuckin break.

Ok so this is just low effort trolling. Bye.
Okay, bye. Maybe now you’ll look in the mirror & see for yourself.
I can totally see the difference. One is in colour and the other is in black & white. Ergo, not a Nazi salute. Got it.
Go into work today and do this to everyone you see then. And don’t half ass it. Straight arm, hand down, up at an angle. Direct eye contact too.
Nice gaslight attempt.
Context matters. This is a man futzing around with the far right in Germany, specifically, right now. The movement made is sharp, exact. It is what it looks like it is.

And here I am, 45 years old and never accidentally made this motion. How unlikely of me.
“Everyone does these things, sometimes it just a slip of the tongue.”
“I’ve never once done a Hitler salute accidentally, nor said the N word in a heated gamer moment.”
“You’re just weird, everyone is a closeted racist like I am!”
More like that guy hanging out in the Nazi bar…
-“Does he say he’s a nazi?”
No, but he does the nazi salute.
-“tHaT doesn’t prove anything!!!”

The part of Gul Madred will now be played by timewarp@lemmy.world.
To which I say to you: THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS.
Don’t be a Gul. It’s not cool.
Yeah very different motions. Makes people look pathetic to focus on a hand movement.
“HR: Have they said they are a Nazi or that they hated Jews?”
“Guys, guys. Since Musk isn’t from Germany, he’s not a Nazi! It’s just sparkling fascism! Totally different!”
Hahaha, just wtf. You’re just trolling, I get it, it can be fun.

Nah, it’s cool, no need to double down. I get what you are doing.
Never trust someone with two first names. Been following that advice my entire life and I’ve yet to find an exception, they’re always a piece of shit and usually prove that very quickly.
What? That’s just Hitler doing an awkward gesture.
I don’t know who adl is but this is correct. he actually was going off on the us putting astronaughts on mars because he wants trump to funnel money to his company. He was making all these broad gestures and we are going to put a flag here and here. honestly I practically would have prefered a straight out nazis salute.
He thumped his chest and did it emphatically. Then he turned around and did it again. The only way it could’ve been more nazilike is if he stomped while he did it
yeah. sorry if it sounded like he did not its just his whole thing went into this america fuck yeah type of thing that followed in lets get people on mars which worries me more as I hear a big sucking of tax money sound from him. what he was going on about would cost someone (cough us) trillions and not just one. many many. but yeah why that is his go to excitement gesture is pretty disturbing.
ADL is a German fascist party.
you would think they would be more pro nazis salute.
That’s AfD.
Oh, my bad.
If Elon walked out wearing a red arm band with a swastika, the ADL would be talking about its history as a Hindu symbol.
“Mr. Musk has provided us with another delicate moment, demonstrating the ancient Roman salute combined with a Hindu symbol. It appears that the talk about the AI-operated gas chambers was a bit of an awkward slip, and it’s best we do not further aggravate the division of our nation.”
Did it ever occur to you that maybe this was simply a mistake? Never assume Malice for something that can be explained by utter stupidity. If it was intentional he probably would be bragging about it non stop.
Gaslighting.
Two times. One after another. He did it two times specifically to assure you that he’s not joking. And he knew you would still excuse him.
Spock would be disappointed in you.
I think he didn’t mean to do it in that moment, but he appears to have been practicing. <br>
Oh, you don’t heil twice by accident.
Yes, that was my first thought. Then I saw him turn around and do it a second time.
Did it ever occur to you to watch the video? Even the first time was a very deliberate movement, and the second time should remove any doubt.
It is hard to do it by mistake, and even if let’s not treat 53 year old man as some kid that didn’t know.
Shocker that you want to defend the nazi

made an awkward gestureforgot he wasn’t supposed to do the Nazi salute in public in a moment of enthusiasm…
FTFYForgot? Why should he care? There appear to be no repercussions to his behaviour.
Unfortunately, it seems these people can do whatever the hell they want.
Lot of businesses backed up Hitler and his Nazis too.
A lot of them even came out of that whole situation in pretty good shape.
IBM, Coke, and Ford had no issues doing business in nazy germany, even if they were under a different name. Business only cares about steady and growing revenues/margins no matter how it comes about it.
The most important lesson I learned in Hebrew school was that the Holocaust would have not been possible without IBM.
Lol is the Elon response real of photoshopped? Man what an asshole if true. I mean, also asshole if not.
I’ve always suspected this man was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but I was told I was overthinking it. I wonder if the ppl who told me that I was wrong remember doing so.
Soooooo many Nazis to tag on Lemmy today
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
This is the only correct answer.

I pray to St. Luigi of the Holy Adjustment
If it was a genuine mistake he would have sincerely apologised. Only a nazi doesn’t apologise for making a nazi salute.
Is “Thanks guys” the only comment he’s made on the topic?
(Asking here because I don’t have a twitter account)
I remember reading he also just laughed it off and said people are just paranoid and see what they want to see.
A pretty good tell-tale sign of a fascist is that they will never apologize or admit doing wrong. You have to appear strong at all times.
The ADL exposed themselves as a hate group 14 months ago
Regardless of if he intended to do a Nazi salute or not exposing the public to that level of cringe should be a capital offense.
I hope his Tesla malfunctions with him in it. Shitty ass car killing a shitty ass person would be chefs kiss
Now that I can certainly agree with.
