Looked this up as I optimistically thought it might be an unfortunate still that looked nothing like a nazi salute on video, but nope.

Elon’s Nazi salute

Gotta love the Murdoch media…

If he did it once, sure could be argued to be accidental, but he did it pretty forcefully, multiple times, and he baaaaarely has plausible deniability that he didn’t mean this as a wink wink to the neo-nazis.

Holy hell what even is this? Are they really comparing those photos of Biden and Harris to what Elon did?

Yep. Sky news is Australia’s version of Fox news, so don’t be too surprised. At this point there could be video of Elon chomping on a dead baby and they would still be saying “let’s not take this out of context”, “this is not what it looks like” and “what about that one time Biden ate something?”. It’s pathetic, but enough people unfortunately watch this crap.

What was the context, in terms of his speech? Did he say something right before this or after it?

“Thank you. My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured, thanks to you.” - Elon Musk

Then he did the seig heil salute. Just in case people are still confused, here’s Hitler’s own words from Mein Kampf on saving civilization.

“All the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out, as a result of contamination of the blood.” - Hitler

I don’t see much relationship between those two quotes. What confusion was that meant to dispel?

Just… blatant. Plenty of time lingering on it. No cute pretending-to-fix-the-hair. Just an obvious, blatant nazi salute.

Well, he must have fallen out of the headlines for a day.

I’m calling it, to keep outdoing himself he’s going to openly and seriously start suggesting nuking things.

  1. Don’t infantilise him. He’s not attention-starved, he’s a Nazi.
  2. Did everyone forget Trump already did that during his first term??? I am going absolutely insane. We know he will threaten to nuke anyone and everyone. And right now the odds aren’t looking good that he won’t actually do it. That’s my call. Nuclear war. People called me crazy in 2020 when I called Trump a fascist, and my worst predictions will be proven right again because everyone seems to be dead-set on downplaying the actions of these Nazi lunatics and acting surprised when they pull through with a Nazi promise which only emboldens them.

  1. No, he seems attention starved. Maybe he’s a Nazi as well, or maybe he’s just okay with Nazis. Honestly, supporting them to get your rocks off might be worse than genuinely agreeing with them, so that’s not really letting him off the hook.
  2. Self-correction: Nuking people, maybe in a fellow NATO country. The hurricane thing was dumb but pretty much just dumb, Elon would have to go bigger to stay relevant.

Trumps a fascist but I think he’s bluffing about nukes. He’s been consistently anti war since before entering politics and he knows he doesn’t want to be a king amongst rubble.

Elon: If I can’t nuke Mars, I will order Trump to nuke Earth instead.

I wouldn’t put it past Musk to be planning on a nuke strike somewhere to boost investment in SpaceX. “See, life on earth is fragile, we have to be able to leave (if you’re rich enough)!”

“Mr. President, there was a nuclear detonation over Kiev”

“Did we do it?”

“No Sir, it seem to have been the Americans”

(obviously this conversation would be in Russian, but most of us here don’t speak/read Russian so here’s the English version)
