The ADL is defending him. Bootlickers.
Fuck the ADL
I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren't pointed the right way
the ADL is a zionist organization that supports genocide. they're not bootlickers. they're the sole of the boot itself.
Even Hilter has his Jewish supporters Verband nationaldeutscher Juden
History doesn't always rhyme sometimes it repeats the exact beats.
Just when I thought the ADL couldn't be anymore useless, here's REAL Anti-Semitism and they're not doing anything about it.
I mean, i didn't have Latina's calling it nazi and Jews being like "nuh uh" on my 2025 bingo card
Worse than not doing anything about it, they're excusing it
It wouldn't be a delicate situation if ONE GROUP WASN'T DOING NAZI SHIT
You guys are lucky to have AOC. I'm a non-American that only knows her from memes and screenshots like this but I'm a fan. Especially compared to all the other dead fish.
Good for AOC, but I honestly fear for her safety in the coming years. I hope she can stay safe.
the ADL
Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish non-governmental organization based in the USA
... will now be known as the "Advanced Defamations League"
Are their last words going to be "see? You were overreacting." right before someone pushes a button on their gas chamber?
Or have they already booked their tickets to some recently-confiscated house in the West Bank?
Neither. They have money. They will not be subjected to the gas chambers and will live their lives free of consequences.
these gas lights aren't even lit. why are you making such a big deal?
this is obviously sarcasm
fucking nazi asshole piece of shit
My grandfather used to kill Nazis. Seems like history is repeating itself.
Any company advertising on X, buying Teslas, using SpaceX, etc is okay with working with Nazis.
That needs to be the message here. Make it clear to all his business associates that we will not forget how they react.
To be clear, I fully agree with this statement.
Buuuuuut....as I'm sure you already know, the entire US space capability was thanks to Nazis who were brought in after the war so that their scientific efforts could be used by "the good guys". They, unsurprisingly, were still Nazis. America has a long history of working with/being run by Nazis, White Supremacists, and just general bigots and racists.
Wow. I was willing to believe that the still pictures were just perfectly timed to make it look like something it wasn't. But it totally is a Nazi salute.
Twice.
Yeah, this was the first time I saw it in motion. How anyone could try to spin this as anything else is wild. We're to the part in 1984 where we're told to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears...
Imagine how minimally functional your brain has to be to think this is anything other than a blatant sieg heil.
Now wrap your mind around the majority of voting Americans voting for this future.
The only advice I can give anyone at this point is to not hold too much hope for the future of this nation. Lower your expectations. It'll help you get through what's coming.
Lack of hope seems to be what depressed the vote turnout in the first place. What a vicious cycle.
Reminder that Fox News declared Michelle Obama a terrorist over a fist bump.
One might be associated to a minor ethnic group looking for representation because they never had anything.
The other is associated to a fascist regime that destroyed the world and killed millions.
They do claim that they're nOt lIkE fOx nEwS aNyMoRe, though.
Wait, what?
Man, I still remember everyone telling me I was over reacting when the Republicans cOiNcIdEnTaLlY had an Odal rune for a stage and that they weren't really Nazis.
This is fuckin wild.
A guy who grew up under apartheid in SA is racist and a fascist,, who knew??
I kinda get the feeling that part of this was a loyalty test for main stream media to see how they were going to report on something that was obviously a nazi salute.
Was it going to be "Musk is swatting at fly, the liberal media goes off the rails with crazy nazi conspiracies." Or "Musk is a fucking nazi, he needs to be deported"
Which is going to get the "love" of this administration?
Deported? Nazi stuff is Luigi territory.
Moral absolutes are correct in case of Nazis. Death is the only correct moral choice. With enough evidence, sentence should be carried out by anyone able, with enough evidence.
Just keep it tightly regulated, obvz. But Nazis were the real pollutant to the gene pool the whole time.
I still like the idea of using them for science until they die though. Only way to get that human testing done.
Currently seems to be explaining it away as not a nazi salute, pretty sure the only worse outcome would be yeah it was we don't care. Which is what the actual nazis are going with but not the more mainstream view, yet.
If its going to go that way I hope we can get to the point of the nazis being shot in the head faster than last time.
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did... You deserved it.
Wow. That’s bad.
E: Musk is such an ass that I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest he did it deliberately to troll liberals and press. Not because he holds any actual nazi beliefs (though he absolutely could) but because he just wanted to stir the shit in the news.
I wonder how trump feels that the most viral thing about his inauguration wasn't him
If he has any sense that overcomes his pride, he should be grateful that someone else is taking some flak for him.
Well, we know he doesn't have any sense, but if he did, it would most certainly be overcome by his need to be the center of attention.
How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.
Because he made it with the expression of a 16 year old in furious heat.
Dork MAGA continues to live up to the name, and it would be funny if people weren't losing their lives over it.
Well, the nazis didn't have their cum-face on while doing it.
To be fair, the SS had drip. Hugo Boss leather trenchcoats... They looked good while being the absolute worst human beings in modern history.
They looked good, they drove great cars, they were just garbage
Until now*
I think it was the biting lips.
The nazi salute is pretty cool, not the meaning though.
So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.
How can anyone deny it now? There's no way this is coincidence, like he's just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can't be explained away.
Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?
They all say he's such a genius, but he's unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There's no way this can be defended. It's just too obvious.
How can anyone deny it now?
Easy. Bad faith.
Nailed it.
I think many of them just won't bother. Why would they need to? They got control, no need to pretend anymore.
It's called post-truth and gaslighting in some developments of the phenomenon. I think this is, among other things, an experiment coming from the Donald administration.
So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.
Yup.
Just like Nazis did. Once to the crowd. Then turn around and once to the Fuhrer, ranking officer at the event, or Nazi flag.
He'll claim that the gesture went along with his words of his heart going out to people.
Press X to doubt.
Looks like virtue signaling to me, except it's for nazi virtues
No need to hide it anymore, huh?
I think that's why they had it indoors. Remove the opportunity for the people to dissent in the moment.
Probably multiple reasons, but if I had to guess, it was mostly about security for all of the billionaires in attendance.
Exactly this. People still don't seem to grasp it, but they will soon. This is the end game. No need to pretend anymore, they got the thing they've been working towards for decades.
My only hope is that the GOP splinters over this kind of shit and destroys itself. But I'm not holding my breath.
Fuck Elon Musk. Knowing I’ll be able to piss on his grave and Trumps grave keeps me going. These fucking fascist need to be fought tooth and nail.
I fear it's not going to stop.
When Trump dies another, less stupid more insidious version will arise.
I'm going to take extra good care of my health in the hopes that if I outlive him this will be on my bucket list.
Pre-bucket listing, that’s an advanced bucket list strat
Knowing I’ll be able to piss on his grave and Trumps grave keeps me going.
A lot of people in fascist countries don't get to live long enough to piss on the fascist leader's grave.
Not gonna lie, my eyes bugged out when I saw that. I knew masks were falling off, but this was too on the nose even for my expectations
Same. Already? Couldn't wait a single day?
And there are people desperately trying to say he wasn't doing a nazi salute. I refuse to let someone tell me I'm not seeing what's right in front of my eyes.
Who are you Goin to believe, the mass media or your own lying eyes?!
Well, get ready for a whole lot of gaslighting. He’s going to say that’s not what he was doing and his lil army of trolls are going to toe the line.
Spot on. We all know exactly what we saw. But...
“This is just a distraction from [the class war / taxes / Russia / China / the Koreas / India / ... ]!”
“Allegedly, he seemingly did a gesture that resembles a fascist salute. He could've been having a heart attack and pointing at a paramedic. You don't know.”
“It’s a tic. He’s had it since he was a child. I read about it on this random screenshot of a news article from 2018.”
“The Roman Salute, as it is known amongst historians, can be seen in many statues. Here’s a link to one. Things have history, Alex. God. Not everything is nazis.”
“So his views are a little extreme. Most people would argue they’re vile. I certainly don’t agree with them, but people. Please. Civility and decorum must rule. I’d fight for his right to blahblahblah..."
"I'm sorry; we can't hear you over our Economic Anxiety. Groceries are too expensive and people are homeless! That's why we elected nazis. Please be more understanding of our extra special circumstances and ignorance."
"It's legal to do that in the USofA. Where is it not legal? Germany? Interesting! Gosh their freezepeach laws are a bit restrictive, eh? Controlling how we move our bodies? Sounds like something a nazi would want."
And on. And if you engage with it, they'll just turn on some kind of AI bot thingy to continue the "conversation," taking up even more space online.
Truly... They might be past that. Some of them at least. That was all for show so they can get to this point. This is the end game. They got what they wanted and can go mask off. Elon doing the salute is just the first evidence of that. Expect a whole lot more to come.
Lmao spot on
Im not certain that they still need to gaslight.
It's the bootlicking media doing the gaslighting. They, Musk and his people won't bother anymore.
I hate this fucking timeline so goddamn much
Guys you are just too left. Under any other circumstance a nazi salute and flirting with AfD is considered leftist by a comfortable margin.
How is this idiot so fucking dumb.
I'll have uhh... A stale meme And projection
My, feeling brave today are we
Yep, Hitler was a communist after all. (/s)
I can't even express in words how fucking stupid and cringe this guy is... That comic is some shit I would have found clever when I was 12 years old and my understanding of politics was 100% shaped by the Fox News that was constantly playing in my house. Imagine being a full-formed adult human, and thinking this was some kind of deep thought.
So.....when do we send The Bastards?
Wait… that really happened? Reality just never stops to surprise me.
Same, reality surprises me all the time, and sadly it never stops to make sure I'm coping ok, just keeps on keeping on.....
So, hands up, how many of you missed the first time we saw this nightmare?
So heil Hitler it is, now?
Granted, I never thought he'd get this far, but I've been saying for nearly a decade now that Musk is a lucky scammer who will do anything if it benefits himself.
I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.
Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?
On the bright side, if we're remarking on history's propensity for repetition, consider how much the odds have just gone up that Elon's personal timeline now ends doused in gasoline and set alight in a ditch, like a pasty, doughy little pile of garbage.
I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.
Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?
Nope.
Our times Henry Ford, I guess
Yeah, X is sort of his Dearborn Independent. Only that never became state-controlled media the way X now has with Musk becoming part of the state.
He’s definitely on something here other than uncut white nationalism, right?
People keep asking when the Apartheid Manchild turned this way. I maintain that he was always this way and is now just comfortable expressing it. But I think, too, the increasingly erratic behaviour has a cause.
Look up the list of symptoms of ketamine abuse.
Now look up the increasingly bizarre behaviour of the Apartheid Manchild.
There are intriguing parallels. Right down to the paranoia.
White Pow(d)er
Who cares?
God damn, he is such a cringe-inducing edge lord!
I speculated a short while back that with Musk’s true dream of immortality seeming less plausible every year, he has turned his sights on being remembered by history.
I think I was right, and some sort of drug fueled edgelord logic has led him to conclude that fear is strong and universal, and being a cacking villain gets your name to “stick” with people the most.
Or his ridiculous luck has given him the world’s worst case of Main Character syndrome, and the game play that amuses his fried brain involves griefing the NPCs.
Or his ridiculous luck has given him the world’s worst case of Main Character syndrome
This is the answer.
hitler is widely regarded as the most influential person of the 20th century
He was Time's person of the year too. Funny that you got a downvote for speaking this but it's so important to remember.
All of this is correct, but people get really pissed at these facts because we live in a demented cartoon world where the majority of people run on reactions and feelings, so if they read anything other than emotional condemnations they lose their shit. Which is exactly why we have another set of Hitlers gaining power without resistance. Because you idiots out there can't get it through your thick skulls that people like Hitler and the Nazis were PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME. Not monsters, not inhuman creatures, but idiots who thought they were doing the right thing because they let reactions and feelings guide them.
Yeah, that's undeniably obvious what it is
Pack it up, boys. This experiment is over.
At least it's all over the news, seems like literally every news organization is reporting on it, even small ones.
Show everyone what these idiots voted for.
Are fox, newsmaxxx, and oan covering it as much as they should? Or are they mentioning it once at an off time so they can say “see we covered it” and then never mentioning it when people are actually watching?
For once he's doing it wrong, not that it matters, and secondly he looks like he came while doing it.
Forget all that story of different salutes and making fun of elon by saying that he is making the american "nazi salute"
Lets call a spade a spade.
Elon is doing the nazi salute and there is no other way to take it other than being serious.
That fucker must get down from power.
PS: I removed my previous snarky comment about bellamy salute and made this new one because it is a serious business
It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.
He can't wear his kid as a human shield at all times.
Wonder what all the people who voted for this are thinking. Wonder if it's any different from what the people who enabled this are thinking.
"Oh cool, we don't have to hide it anymore"
"I guess we're Nazis, too."
If all the useful idiots had the capacity to make this realization, it would have happened already.
Are we the baddies?
Twice.
Thrice.
That was an accident you libtard!! He just did something that really looked like a nazi salute... twice... b-but it wasnt a nazi salute!! y'all be calling anyone a nazi nowadays...
And look!!! kamala also did a nazi salute!!
A-And she definitely wasnt just waving her hand... uhhmm...
/s
Jesus fucking christ...
This is ego-boasting, partisan intimidation and humiliation, right?
My instinct to this is to look away, scroll past, because it can't be happening...
Anti-fascism in the US is in no way equipped to politically deal with this.
The strategic alternative doesn't really exist...
bro he was clearly slapping a fly on his chest and then throwing it away and then he turned around and did it again c'mon the radical left will say anyone is a nazi these days
Well there are always lots of flies around shit
A Sieg Sauer could fix that
Rusty spoon would be more satisfying.
Is he flexing his "shoot someone on 5th Ave" moment?
Holy shit that’s some good cringe
Now he can use the government to make his financial empire/we-chat clone "x".
This is becoming a meme.
Used by the left to attack Musk. Used by the right to praise him.
The left and the right, the only two kinds of people in the world. Two homogeneous groups, two hive minds
God I hate those labels
Propose alternatives. I'm not especially fond of the labels either (especially since the "left" in the USA is "right centrist" in Canada or "borderline Nazi" in most sane places in the world; left/right is very relative), but it's the terminology that's used and when communicating you either use the extant terminology or you spend most of your time defining and redefining your terms in every message you post (and still get people mapping it to "left" and "right" anyway).
Nope. It is the far right gaining immense amount of power while both moderate right, left and "extreme left" are yelling at the terrorists (far right) wanting to crash the airplanes in the towers.
Be aware that if you lean in the far right, you risk going down with the terrorists while the "osama bin laden" of this story (and to be clear, I mean Elon) will be hidden behind the safety of his bunker.
Or if you like anime analogy (and spoilers of boku no hero academy): spoiler
It is like trying to get favors from all for one in the hopes that he won't fuck over your country (and the anime is explicit in saying that it isn a matter of if. Only when.)
This was my own reaction.
Guy who grew up in SA during apartheid is a fascist and racist. Who know?
you commented this twice by accident btw
Fucking UMMMMM.....
Bruh
He announced that he's going to the dark side of the moon to meet back with his friends.
Super weird you don't post videos of any of those other folks like there's a video/gif of Elon. It's not because someone captured a 1 second frame of someone waving at the crowd out of context to try to justify a literal fucking sig heil salute, is it?
Yo are a disingenuous conservative shit-troll. If you look at the videos of these stills you see that only elon was doing a sig heil.
Now do a video comparison.
Despite the Dem party having their own problems with fascism, this proves nothing. The video during shows him exactly copying the Hitlergruess, unlike someone hailing a taxi or waving to the crowd. Please don't defend this douche-bag. He is not any sort of rebel rising up to defeat the American Empire, he is part of the American Empire.
Not a Nazi salute.
what's the difference between this and a nazi salute?
They are completely indistinguishable to my eye.
"Equating disparate things under the guise of equality is not justice; it is a misrepresentation of truth." - George Orwell
Then please do tell what it was.
I did Nazi a salute at all
When the opposing party funded a genocide, this is what you get.
Everyone funded a genocide. If you paid taxes, you did too.
I'm not trying to excuse Biden for his love for Israel and material support for them, but singling out "the opposing party" as the issue here is missing the method of reform that's actually going to fix it. The issue is American politics and media, and the American system. Let's fix that. If you thought singling out the Democrats as the problem that needed to be got rid of was going to fix it, brother just wait, because you succeeded and your plan is going into action as of now.
Fuck off.
Yes, the person seeing a literal Nazi salute from someone Trump is giving a lot of authority to, and using that as an excuse to attack the Democrats instead of saying "this is fucked up", is definately very concerned about genocide...
This, my friend, is a 400ton edgelord take. One could talk about the underlying analysis but my, your tone is the first thing that strikes me. No one Hi will suffer under this administration would understand this. Fishing for purity-vs-sheeples won't help anyone.
P. S. : In my book, the dems are awful, and I'm not even an US citizen, so I'm not directly concerned.
I just hope you're very young and will regret your wording one day.
I didn't vote for the genocide & Cheney supporter, so no I won't have regrets.
When
the opposing party funded a genocidethe election was literally rigged this is what you get ftfyYeah, you "stopped" the genocide abroad, time for domestic genocide!
Yes why should they have all the fun
