“controversy”???
I painted this about it
Someone said to me once, “he’s just a awkward guy!” Give me a fucking break.
Oops! I slipped and fell and accidentally did a Nazi salute. And then refused to clarify I didn’t do one
There’s lots of awkward nazis, it’s not uncommon.
It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. I’m about 90% sure he did it the way he did just to stir the shit because he’s an attention seeking asshole wanting to be the main character. Only 10% remaining because he doesn’t think he’s a Nazi despite sharing a shitload of their fascist traits.
He did it twice very emphatically with anger in his face. He did it as an act of defiance. The only way it makes sense is if he was using it as his public declaration that he was with the nazis.
Oh he was definitely declaring a side.
It feels so weird to call this controversial. Doesn’t that usually mean something similar to “polarising”? Who are on the poles here? Nazis, and the rest of the world?
From the wiki entry, “…interpreted by many as a Nazi or fascist” salute. It’s like, yeah I guess it was interpreted by many that way, in the same way many people interpret water to be wet.
Why are the writers of this wiki entry giving so much wiggle room for Nazis? What the fuck?
Because Wikipedia is “leftist propaganda”, and they’ll be sued for libel the moment they declare him a Nazi.
lol
it’s regime propaganda, always was
The Trillion Dollar Nazi. Sounds like a good title for a book.
In my opinion, Musk does not consider himself a Nazi, despite his involvement in far right causes and patent racism.
I think he just can’t stand the idea of a world where other people can tell him what he can and can’t do. This was him going out there to show the world, “I can do whatever I want” with the most extreme example he could come up with. The “lol you call everyone a Nazi” trolling afterwards was icing on the cake for him.
I say this not to excuse or condone this in any way. It clearly was 100% intended as a Nazi salute.
He’s a pathetic creep whose mental development stopped in adolescence. See also: Stephen Miller.
IDK if you surround yourself with nazis, use your wealth and influence to further their power, and then do a fucking nazi salute I’m not sure what to call you but a nazi.
Maybe not an “ideological” nazi, but he’s definitely in the party…
More USA drama! Noice. It’s clear what he did, there is no controversy.
You fool yourself.Not just USA drama. He’s been involving himself in global politics.
Imagine STILL thinking this is a “controversy”.
Propaganda has poisoned people’s minds and I’m afraid it’s permanent.
Was this not controversial??
Please correct me, but as far as I know, Elon Musk has never explicitly denied that it was a Nazi salute. He never said the words “it was not” or anything similar. He has called accusers ridiculous, talked about a gesture being meaningless, and made Holocaust jokes.
And weeks later Steve Bannon made obvious salutes.
He said it was “my heart goes out to you”, probably referring to nazis
After he did it. Yeah. As if.
He also thanked the ADL for saying it wasn’t. Whatever that means.
Elon Musk’s NAZI salute. There is no controversy
The salute done by the Nazi? The nazi Elon Musk? By Elon Musk the Nazzzzi? Nah he was just saluting his Nazi friends, he’s not a Nazi himself
