Elon Musk's arm gestures at the Trump inauguration festivities got people talking about the infamous Hitler salute.
So I found a meme dealing with the gesture and added a little geometry and an explanation to it.
If, like most people, you're eager to avoid being considered a Nazi, use your left arm for waving. If you simply can't avoid habitually raising your right arm above the 93* level, hold something in your right hand like a pen, comb, glasses case, or key chain; the Heil requires an open palm.
Given its past, Germany knows a Nazi when it sees one. A couple of groups created this light display at Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg...
Tumblr media
...and then they posted it on Twitter/X. 🤣
Musk has been actively promoting a far right German party. His sympathies for rightwing extremists is in the open.

BSW zwischen Anspruch und Realität: Wagenknechts riskantes Spiel mit Pragmatismus und Prinzipien
Ein Beitrag von Lily Gatiss Sahra Wagenknecht, die Parteichefin des Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), überrascht aktuell mit ungewohnter Zurückhaltung. Während sie sonst vor allem mit scharfen Angriffen aufrüstet, gibt sie sich in Bezug auf die neue Koalition in Brandenburg auffallend kompromissbereit. In einer Stellungnahme äußerte sie sich zur Anschaffung des Raketenabwehrsystems Arrow 3: „Die…

Ruling SPD wins Brandenburg election contested by AfD
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s ruling Social Democrats secured the most votes in the Brandenburg election after a tight contest by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
According to Sunday’s results, the SPD won 30.9 per cent of the vote, whereas the national-oriented AfD gained 29.2 per cent.
However, the AfD delivered its best ever result in the eastern state of Brandenburg, increasing its share by six percentage points. Co-chair Tino Chrupalla welcomed the performance of his party and stated that they would now assume the role of the main opposition in Brandenburg.
The Greens, the most dangerous party of Germany, is no longer in the state parliament, that’s the good outcome of the election night, alongside our very good result.
Scholz’s coalition partners, the Greens and the Free Democrats (FDP), suffered one of the worst results in the elections. They failed to pass the 5-per-cent threshold required to win seats in the state parliament.
Meanwhile, the newly formed Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) came third with 13.5 per cent of the vote. As a result, the BSW became an influential voice, with the coalition depending on its decisions.
The initial voter turnout of 72.9 per cent was an all-time high in the state of Brandenburg. Exit polls on Sunday showed that many voters were also concerned about their economic well-being, critical of Ukraine’s military support, and demanding tougher measures to curb illegal migration.
Despite the SPD’s victory in the state, almost 48 per cent of those who voted for the party decided to do so due to their support for the Social Democrat premier Dietmar Woidke, who has been leading Brandenburg for more than a decade. In fact, without the support of influential figures, this would have been the second major electoral defeat for the Chancellor’s party.

Elon Musk needs to go play on some train tracks. That asshole is trying to get his grimy hands into the German elections next.
He's had too much influence in German politics already (looking at you Brandenburg). I don't want him to buy votes for the AfD. Actually I don't want him to talk or even think about any elections anywhere ever (again). Motherfucker needs to Starship without damaging our atmosphere.

A statement
From S's IG stories - the 💖emoji superimposed by himself on The Guardian's shared reel about a protest near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin (January 25, 2025). The event was organized in response to Elon Musk's more than questionable statements in support of Germany's Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) Neo-Nazi party.
Tumblr media
On behalf of all my fellow Europeans, thank you, this time. Very much welcome, as the ghost of Munich's Beer Hall Putsch roams our continent, with a vengeance.
The turmoil is real and this statement is honest. The trolls will probably not share it, simply because this is out of their reach, understanding and scope.
Let it be known, though. Now that is something very brave, especially when taking into account the general atmosphere (dour enough) and his own circumstances (no future projects apparently in sight). Noted and commended as such.
PS: thank you, sweetheart, for letting me know. You know who you are.

Trump möchte Grönland kaufen oder zur Not auch besetzen und schließt einen militärischen Einsatz auf dem Eis nicht mehr aus, er beansprucht die Wasserstraße von Panama und möchte den Golf von Mexico in Golf von Amerika umtaufen. Außerdem soll sich der Staat Kanada auflösen. Schade, dass die Journalisten so schnell aufgehört haben, ihn weiter zu seinen Plänen zu befragen. Ich bin sicher, Trump hat noch ganz viele andere Ideen, die die Welt verändern. Man könnte zum Beispiel das Weiße Haus schwarz übermalen, am Südpol Chicken Wings ansiedeln und die Pinguine auf Grönland abschieben. Ach, es gibt noch so viel zu tun!
Der Mann ist eine Maschine für Produktion von Unsinn und Zeitungsüberschriften. Da kann ihm nur sein Freund Elon Musk Paroli bieten, der sich in den deutschen Wahlkampf einmischt. Böse Zungen behaupten, er möchte demnächst als Dankeschön für seine Wahlhilfe von der AfD Brandenburg geschenkt bekommen.
Die deutsche Presse tut es sich schwer in der Kunst, Trump lieben zu lernen, sie übt noch und das ist, zugegeben, eine schwierige Aufgabe. Denn die Wahrheit ist nicht zu übersehen, der König ist nackt. Ein Haufen ungebildeter alter Jungs mit niedriger sozialer Verantwortung und dem Intellekt einer Fliege haben das Rad der Weltmacht übernommen und drehen mit großem Enthusiasmus nach rechts, wohin denn sonst. Und die Welt schaut mit Erstaunen zu, kommen wir aus der steilen Kurve heil raus? Dass es so sein wird, ist nicht gesagt. Die Schweizer Wissenschaftler haben herausgefunden, dass dumme Fliegen länger als die klugen leben, Intelligenz ist nicht immer vom Vorteil, die Hirnaktivität kostet zusätzliche Energie.
Die deutsche Presse gibt sich aber ehrlich Mühe, um diesem wirren Summen die Form einer politischen Handlung zu geben. So betitelte das Magazin Der Spiegel neulich Trumps Rede als „Grönland- Debatte“. Eine Debatte wird im deutschen als „organisierte Diskussion“ definiert, bei der die Teilnehmer über ein Thema streiten. Aber niemand streitet mit Trump über Grönland, nicht mal die Eisbären.
Der AfD-Versteher Elon für Deutschland Musk wird in den deutschen Medien fast immer mit dem Zusatzwort „Genie“ erwähnt. Dabei hat die Welt schon oft genug mitbekommen, wie dieser Mann spricht, schreibt und denkt. Die Bezeichnung kann vielleicht dadurch erklärt werden, dass „Genie“ im Deutschen gleichzeitig auch ein anderes Wort für Depp ist. Dafür spricht, dass die seriöse „Deutsche Zeitschrift für europäisches Denken ‚Merkur‘ ihn kürzlich als „megareiche Dumpfbacke von einem Trottel“ und schlicht als „Idiot“ bezeichnet hat.
Das Tandem Trump und Musk, eine Verschmelzung von Macht und Kapital, wird ein riesiges Ego gebären, das von einem Spiegel zum anderem läuft und keine Ergebnisse braucht, um sich an sich selbst zu ergötzen. Ich wette, es wird folgendes passieren: Nichts.
Grönland wird weiter unter dänischer Obhut dahinschmelzen, der Panamakanal wird nicht austrocknen, Putin wird seinen Krieg weiterführen und sein Land in Armut und Isolation treiben. Trump wird mit dem russischen Führer kurz telefonieren und vom Telefon abspringen.
Sein Komplize die Dumpfbacke wird das Universum weiter „erobern“. Er wird zum Mars und zur Venus fliegen wollen, die Milchstrasse in eine Coca-Cola-Straße umbenennen, den Mond für sich allein beeinspruchen und seinen nächsten Sohn XXL nennen. Mit der Zeit geht das Feuerwerk aus und Trump wird zu einem Geräusch, an den sich alle gewöhnt haben, ein Geräusch, mit dem die USA, der einstige Weltpolizist, auf alles pfeift. Der Planet dreht sich weiter und bald wird eine neue Sau durchs Dorf gejagt. Eine Geschichte endet und eine neue beginnt.

Tim Ganser at The UnPopulist:
Since the end of World War II, Germans had by and large steadfastly resisted voting for far-right populists. That norm was shattered in the last decade by the success of the political party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), which seemed to gain more traction as it radicalized into a full-blown, hard right populist party. A year into its existence, spurred by widespread discontent with German fiscal policy, the AfD won seven seats in European Parliament. In 2017, after undergoing a hard-right turn, it won 94 seats in the German federal elections, good for third place overall. For the past year, the AfD has consistently ranked second in Politico’s poll aggregator tracking the public’s voting intentions.
In this Sunday’s European Parliament elections, roughly 1 in 6 German voters is expected to cast a ballot for the AfD, whose members have trivialized the Holocaust, encouraged their followers to chant Nazi slogans, and participated in a secret conference where they fantasized about forced deportations of naturalized citizens they derisively call “Passport Germans.” Worse still, the AfD is predicted to be the strongest party, with up to a third of the vote share, in the three elections for state parliament in Saxony and Thuringia on Sept. 1 and in Brandenburg on Sept. 22. And in generic polls for a hypothetical federal election, the AfD fares even better than it did in any previous election. How did Germany get to this point?
The AfD’s Origin Story
The AfD was founded in early 2013 by a group of conservatives, led by the economics professor, Bernd Lucke, greatly disillusioned with then-Chancellor Angela Merkel’s fiscal policy. In their view, the European debt crisis had revealed deep instability within the eurozone project as smaller nations found themselves unable to cope with the economic demands of membership, and they believed Merkel’s focus on saving the euro was coming at the expense of German economic interests. This was, however, the opposite of a populist complaint—in fact, the AfD was initially referred to as a “Professorenpartei” (a professor’s party) because of the party’s early support from various economics professors who were more interested in fiscal policy than catering to popular will. In its earliest days, the AfD could best be characterized as a cranky but respectable party of fiscal hardliners. Its anti-establishment posture stemmed entirely from its belief in the necessity of austerity. Even its name could be construed less as nationalistic and more an answer to the dictum coined by Merkel—“alternativlose Politik” (policy for which there is no alternative)—to defend her bailouts during the eurozone crisis.
Although the AfD had launched an abstract economic critique of Merkel’s policies that could be hard to parse for non-experts, its contrarian stance resonated with a significant portion of Germans. Right out of the gate, the AfD obtained the highest vote share of any new party since 1953, nearly clearing the 5% threshold for inclusion in the Bundestag, Germany’s Parliament, in its first electoral go round. Its success was also measurable in terms of membership, passing the 10,000 mark almost immediately after its formation. The rapid increase in membership, however, helped lay the groundwork for its turn toward right-wing populism. Perhaps due to pure negligence—or a combination of calculation and ambition—the party’s founders did little to stop right-wing populists from swelling its rolls. And as the German economy emerged through the European debt crisis in good financial shape, fiscal conservatism naturally faded from the public’s consciousness. However, a new European crisis having to do with migrants came to dominate the popular imagination. The AfD hardliners seized on the growing anti-migrant opinion, positioning the AfD as its champion, thereby cementing the party’s turn towards culture war issues like immigration and national identity.
Starting in late 2014, organized right-wing protesters took to the streets to loudly rail against Germany’s decision to admit Muslim migrants, many fleeing the Syrian civil war. The AfD right wing’s desire to become the political home of nativism led to a rift within the party that culminated in founder Bernd Lucke’s being ousted as leader in 2015, and his replacement with hardliner Frauke Petry. Lucke left the party entirely, citing its right-wing shift, following in the footsteps of what other party leaders had already done and more would do in the coming year. Up until this point, the AfD unwittingly helped the cause of right-wing populism. If the reactionary far-right had tried to start a party from scratch, it would have likely failed. The AfD, after all, was created within a respectable mold, trading on the credentials of its earliest founders and leaders. But with saner voices now pushed out, right-wing populists had the party with public respectability and an established name all to themselves. And they deliberately turned it into a Trojan horse for reactionary leaders who wanted to “fight the system from within.
[...]
A New Normal in Germany
As right-wing populist positions have become part of the political discourse, Germany is now in the exact same position as some of its European neighbors with established hardline populist parties. In Italy, Giorgia Meloni ascended to the premiership in October 2022 as the head of her neo-fascist Fratelli d’Italia party, which is poised to perform well in the upcoming European Parliament elections. In France, the Marine Le Pen-led far-right Rassemblement National (RN) is set to bag a third of votes in those elections, roughly double what President Macron’s governing coalition is expected to obtain.
What makes the situation in Germany especially worrisome is that, unlike in France and Italy, far-right parties had failed to garner any meaningful vote share in nationwide elections until just seven years ago; indeed, until the 2017 federal election, there had never been a right-wing populist party that had received more than six percent of the national vote in Germany. The nation’s special vigilance toward far right ethnonationalism in light of its history of Nazi atrocities was expected to spare Germany the resurgence of far-right populism. But it actually led to complacency among mainstream parties. By 2017, the AfD—already in its right-wing populist phase—received nearly 13% of the vote in the federal election to become the third-strongest parliamentary entity. And by then it had also made inroads in all state parliaments as well as the European Parliament. The norm against it was officially gone.
To be sure, the AfD is not on track to take over German politics. It currently has the fifth most seats among all German parties in the Bundestag, fourth most seats among German parties in the European Parliament, and is a distant eighth in party membership. Nor is it currently a threat to dominate European politics—late last month, the AfD was ousted from the Marine Le Pen-led Identity and Democracy (ID) party coalition, the most right-wing group in the European Parliament. Le Pen, herself a far-right radical, explained the AfD’s expulsion by describing the party as “clearly controlled by radical groups.” But none of the above offer good grounds for thinking the AfD will be relegated to the fringes of German or European politics.
After the election, the AfD could rejoin ID, or it could form a new, even more radical right-wing presence within the European Parliament. Some fear that the AfD could potentially join forces with Bulgaria’s ultranationalist Vazrazhdane. Its leader, Kostadin Kostadinov, said that AfD’s expulsion from ID could create an opening to form “a real conservative and sovereigntist group in the European Parliament.” Also, ID’s removal of the AfD wasn’t due to its stated policy platform being out of step with Europe’s right-wing populist project. Rather, it was because the AfD’s leading candidate, Maximillian Krah, was implicated in a corruption and spying scandal involving China and Russia, and because he said he would not automatically construe a member of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) to be a criminal. Absent these entirely preventable missteps, the AfD would be in good standing with right-wing populist partners in Europe.
Seeing far-right Nazi-esque Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) rise in prominence in Germany is a sad sight.

A video of young far-right voters singing an anti-foreigner song at an Alternative for Germany (AfD) party election celebration has triggered outrage online.
The video, in which supporters of the far-right party sing about “kicking” foreigners out, was shot on Sunday evening as they celebrated the party' strong performance in the state election results of Germany’s eastern state of Brandenburg. The AfD came in second at 29.2% behind the center-left Social Democrats, which got 30.2%, increasing its voter haul on the last Brandenburg vote five years ago by 5.7 percentage points. In an apparent attempt to antagonize a small counter demonstration by anti-fascist activists, the young AfD members, who had gathered in a Potsdam bar, started playing a song set to a 2011 dance hit through a portable speaker that included the lyric: “Hey, it’s happening; we’re kicking them out.” One of the partygoers also held up a sign saying: “DEPORT MILLIONS.” According to a German tabloid, Bild, the rewritten song also included the lyric: “This is JA music; every club is on fire here. We’re celebrating like never before; throw your hands in the air.”
JA is the abbreviation for Junge Alternative, the AfD's youth organization.
The video caused outrage after it was posted on the social media platform X and prompted one former Green politician to file a criminal complaint, saying the song incites racial hatred and violence.
AfD targets young people
However, the fact that it was a group of youngsters celebrating the AfD’s results with beer, music, and dancing surprised few.
Data obtained by the German statistics platform Statista on the demographics of the voters in this year’s Brandenburg’s state election showed that 64% of the AfD party’s voters are between 16 and 34 years old, with 31% between the ages of 16 and 24.
German broadcaster Deutsche Welle reported that the AfD targets young voters through the savvy use of social media, particularly on the Instagram and TikTok platforms.
The AfD’s Maximilian Krah, a member of the European Parliament, regularly appears on TikTok. In one video, he is seen saying: "One in three young men in Germany has never had a girlfriend. Are you one of them?
"Don't watch porn; don't vote Green; go outside into the fresh air,” he continues. “Be confident. And above all, don't believe you need to be nice and soft. Real men stand on the far right. Real men are patriots. That's the way to find a girlfriend!"
German federal government drifts right
Fierce criticism of Krah and the AfD as a whole, however, has failed to douse the growing popularity of the party, and it now poses a significant challenge to the center-left governing coalition of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Earlier this month the AfD became the first far-right party to win an election in Germany since the 1930s when it won local elections in the state of Thuringia, so last weekend’s narrow election squeak has piled more pressure on a chancellor already under pressure from woeful opinion polls and infighting in his coalition.
In what has been seen as an apparent attempt to steal some of the AfD’s thunder and shore up its own position on September 9, the federal government announced plans to impose tighter controls at all the country’s land borders to tackle “irregular migration” and protect the public from threats such as Islamist extremism. On September 11, the international human rights organization, Amnesty International, joined 26 other non-governmental organizations and associations in an appeal to the German federal government to reverse its plans. They reminded it of its obligations under EU and international law to respect a refugee’s right to seek asylum. “Seeking asylum is a human right. Calls to turn back people seeking protection at German borders are clearly contrary to European law,” the organization wrote on its website. The secretary general of Amnesty International, Julia Duchrow, said: “The current debate about an alleged emergency situation and rejections of those seeking protection at German borders endanger European cohesion.”
