Why would he ever do that? Declaring yourself a Nazi is the act of losers like Anders Behring Breivik. Every form of fascism needs their own branding. Stealing too much from other times and places is not the way to gain power. | ||

Grandparents immigrated specifically to support Aparteid. Performs a Nazi salute that is perfectly in rhythm with neo-nazis. Clearly not a Nazi because he supports my side so I have to cope out of my ass. Though to be fair to Elon, he seems to have a hard on for Islamaphobia not Antisemitism. He's updated his software for the modernized White Supermacy patch notes. | ||

Accordingly, the only way you seem to get recognition nowadays is by doing the dumbest or most malicious stuff. Trying to be decent only makes you look like an idiot. It‘s a scamtopia. | ||

He's updated his software for the modernized White Supermacy patch notes. Which is what you would expect. To choose their main enemy the far right will always pick the group that is the most hated in the population currently, it's not a target that is based on data or facts so it doesn't need to be the same target at all times. In nazi times it was Jews due to ashkenazi Jews being chased away from Russia and receiving xenophobic hatred in their new countries, today the groups that are hated most in the US are muslims and latino immigrants so those are the groups that they'll be after. You just update the software from "cultural bolshevism" to "islamo-leftism" and "great replacement" bullshit, and you're all set. | ||

Bit odd that he now changed it into something that 95% resembles the Nazi salute. Must've been a joke, he's such a joker. https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/1i7u5td/elon_musks_gesture_of_giving_his_heart_out_to_the/ This gesture here is totally fine, and is no way even remotely similar to Musk's obvious Nazi salutes in support of Trump on Inauguration Day. | ||

That's the point. It's obvious he was using the heart line to cover up his incompetent effort at a dog whistle that turned out to be a flat out bullhorn | ||

Of course that gesture it's fine, that's the point. It shows Elon is not just "being autistic". He knows what the Nazi salute is, and we know that this is not how he shows affection to an audience. | ||

With the Nazi salute, it is clear that is what it was. What is not clear is if it is because he whole heartily believes in the ideology or someone dared him on 4 chan because it would be so cool and edgy. When you take that into account, along with how he treats and takes care of his own children he is exactly the opposite type of person you want in public service. You want the type of people who follow rules and value fairness. Not those who have excelled at bending/breaking the rules for their own benefit. His fans seem to hold the belief that he is going to use those skills to better the country, but he won't. He is going to use them to benefit himself. It is just what he does. | ||

A salute is a salute because the entire form matter, it's with back straight and form upright, with correct gesture. What Elon did arent even close, even if we dump it all down to just try gesurrey which is all wrong. You don't hit your chest flat handed, you don't throw your body out while lifting your arm. This is as silly as thinking a reverse peace sign is a peace sign, and that's not even a salute. The fact that so many are biting this, is pretty embarrassing for everyone involved. Well at least the far left conspiracy theorists posts are interesting to read. At least the rise of right wings everywhere is showing how extreme left wings are becoming, because most centralists arent that far gone to see right wing constantly as Nazi just because similarities. | ||

This is a really long-winded way to admit that you don't know what a Nazi salute looks like, despite multiple people posting videos of Musk's Nazi salute alongside other Nazi salutes :/ It's a Nazi salute. You may not think that Musk is a literal Nazi just because he made a Nazi salute, but he still clearly made a Nazi salute. | ||

Elon ? Are you developping a para social relationship with your idole ? Don't tell me you're one of this guy who puts ai picture of them and "elon" dressed as comics super hero ? What a generation of menchild, their horizon of life is some bad fan fictions. And get your facts straight, flat handed on the chest is totally fine as a nazi salute, I am not an expert but neonazis are doing it just fine. If it was just something he did on the fly, then "Elon" will apologise for his clumsiness which he didn't. I guess we should be so honored to have a poster so important he's sharing a (para)-friendship with "Elon" 🙃 | ||

The only guarantees in America are conservatives pushing the Overton Window to the right and gaslighting the rest of us into thinking the opposite is happening | ||

Like I said, its extremely obvious that this is a deliberate tactic taken pretty much exactly from 4chan and how they operate. Do something that is obviously a signal to Nazis, and then when someone points it out say that they are clearly a hysterical leftist and take the piss out of them for it, all the while the Nazis are smiling in the background. Its been done, a million times, and if you can't see that that's what's happening here you must either have no memory or be blind. | ||
