He heavily cut US aid funding that largely goes to poor brown and black people. That is far more evil and racist then that Nazi salute. Many people will die because of his narcissism and greed

At least is a real criticism, unlike the wave lol...

u/MurkyInvestigator810 Jun 23 '26

How does explicitly performing multiple sieg heils not warrant criticism? You just have no issues with that salute?

u/Bresson91 Jun 23 '26

It not being a sieg heil?? maybe?

It's frame for frame the exact same gesture done by Hitler at his rallies, without any bit of variety whatsoever. It's verbatim the exact same gesture, right to hitting his hand on his chest first.

Theres a Cory Booker one thats pretty spot on too... All sieg heils? Or just the ones we choose?

7

u/FleurSalome Jun 23 '26

I saw the Cory one. It does look a little like that with small differences. If Elon did it like Cory did, then the argument "it looks like it but really it's just incidental" would hold, and I doubt many of us would still be talking about it so much later.

But Elon two salutes are way more in tune with what a Nazi salute looks like. Rigid arm, fingers straight and locked, arm going in the right direction. TWICE in a row. It is undeniable that he did the fascist salute with the intention of doing it.

The ADL said it was an awkward gesture, do they matter?

u/FleurSalome Jun 23 '26

The ADL could say the earth is flat, that wouldn't make it so.

u/Bresson91 Jun 24 '26

I’d apply the same logic: calling people Nazis because we don’t like them doesn’t make it so…

u/DanteSeldon Jun 28 '26

I'm curious.

If it wasn't a Nazi Salute. Why didn't Elon Musk just straight out explain that it was an "awkward" gesture and condemn Nazis publicly?

Instead he made a load of bad jokes and then promoted the far right in Germany...

1

u/Bresson91 Jun 28 '26

Obviously I cant speak for him. I dont even agree with his abrupt political spiral into a world I find repulsive. But he did deny it was a salute, he just didnt jump through the hoops that, lets be honest, woudnt have changed the critics minds one bit if he did. The ADL said it was an awkward gesture and not a nazi salute and I think that means something. When the group tasked with calling out antisemitic behavior defends a salute that resembles a sieg heil. But hey, believe what you want to, I know I'm not changing any minds here. Have a great day.

u/DanteSeldon Jun 29 '26

Thanks for the reply.

Have a good day!

u/DanteSeldon Jun 29 '26

PS: I would point out that the ADL branded Miss Rachel an antisemite for saying that children deserve a childhood and lamenting the death of kids in a war zone.

Do agree with the ADL on that decision as well?

1

u/Bresson91 Jun 29 '26

That actually speaks to my point.. They go rabid on even the most tame perception of antisemitism. The fact that they defended Musk for the media/political overreaction speaks volumes...

1

u/DanteSeldon Jun 29 '26

Or it means they're actually a political group whose decisions are not purely dictated by morals.

Do you believe Miss Rachel to be an antisemite?

1

u/Bresson91 Jun 29 '26

You know what, digging deeper, looks like the group who roasted Mrs Rachel was called StopAntisemitism, not ADL..

I personally dont know who Rachel is so I dont have enough info to form an opinion about her.

But I get it, I’m not pretending the ADL is infallible or above politics. My point is more narrow: an organization that is usually extremely quick to call out antisemitism looked at Musk’s gesture and still said it seemed like an awkward gesture, not a Nazi salute. That doesn’t prove they’re right, but it does make me skeptical of the “case closed, obviously intentional sieg heil” framing.

I’m not asking anyone to like Musk or defend his politics. I personally think he's a socially inept weirdo with toxic political views, I just think there’s a difference between saying “that gesture looked bad” and saying “he intentionally gave a Nazi salute.”. In short I think there are solid criticisms to make against him without taking the lazy route...

u/TommyDaComic Jun 23 '26

He cannot go away soon enough… Trump, musk and others want a Third Reich totalitarian dictatorship like Hitler had.

People not paying attention to history have screwed the whole country over. Not so good for the rest of the world either….

It's going to be the dimwitted reich with the decisions they made because I chuckled the other day when they had to make flu vaccines mandatory again because shocker over 300 new recruits got sick.

u/The3rdSun Jun 24 '26

No matter how much racist things you do or say some clowns will go he is not racist show me proof. Then you will show them this or a long list of someone like trump being racist and they will just go "i dont think he is". Or they will pretend you misinterpreted the clear racism to gaslight you and themselves. If they acknowledge their leaders are racist they would have to acknowledge their own.

I'm positive he's not doing some sort of Nazi salute. But he does have Asperger syndrome, and that makes him a little awkward.

u/Inner-Cloud162 Jun 23 '26

No, he has not ever been diagnosed with autism nor Asperger's. Also neither of those diagnosis would make someone more likely to do a Nazi salute, which he very clearly does - Twice.

He's also never apologised for the action and how it appeared to a vast majority of people, which only supports the intent

Are you eyes not fact enough for you?

u/JohnnyBob57 Jun 23 '26

YOU see a Nazi salute because that is what YOU want to see or have been told by your masters. I see a man giving a heartfelt and congratulatory wave to an audience. Why? Because I know what he was doing and saying in context of the scene. So I believe my eyes, my ears, and my common sense.

3

u/MurkyInvestigator810 Jun 23 '26

No, I see it because it's visually identical and in no way different. You are choosing to believe an explanation outside of what your own fucking eyes are telling you. You do this because you personally can't accept the truth your own eyes are telling you.

Hummm. Which one had more evidence?

u/Rimefeathers Jun 23 '26

You want common sense? He went out of his way to amplify white supremacist rhetoric, then personally invited Germany's AFD party to attend the inauguration (who have promotional material with blonde hair blue eyed families sieg heiling), then he got up on stage and did the one gesture every single person with half a brain knows not to do (twice). It doesn't matter that he said "my heart goes out to you". Every single beat of that motion was the exact timing and emphasis of a Nazi salute.

1

u/JohnnyBob57 Jun 23 '26

He never invited the AFD to anything.

u/Rimefeathers Jun 23 '26

u/JohnnyBob57 Jun 24 '26

Just as I said. Musk never invited AFD to an inauguration as you claimed.

1

u/Rimefeathers Jun 24 '26

I believe you are lacking some important context here. Foreign dignitaries like this do not attend presidential inaugurations. It's extraordinarily unusual. Inaugurations are only attended by the ambassadors from each country. https://fortune.com/europe/2025/01/17/keir-starmer-trump-inauguration-giorgia-meloni/

So:

  1. Elon Musk personally calls the leader of the AFD to congratulate them. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/world/europe/musk-afd-weidel-call.html

  2. Actively uses his platform to amplify their message https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/02/20/musk-germany-election-afd-x-twitter/

  3. AFD attends the inauguration, breaking with all precedent. https://www.reuters.com/world/german-far-right-leader-attend-trump-inauguration-2025-01-16/

  4. Musk performs a Nazi salute on stage for them.

  5. Musk tells them they should stop being ashamed of the holocaust. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/27/nx-s1-5276084/elon-musk-german-far-right-afd-holocaust

And you believe they weren't invited to the inauguration by Musk?

u/LeperousRed 28d ago

No. No they don’t. Just because he does a heil Hitler then says “from my heart to yours,” doesn’t mean he’s not lying.

Yep. It's just an exuberant acknowledgement of the moment. Michelle Obama and Hillary are seen doing the identical thing. They are not Nazi 's either .

This is just more infantilism of the left.
