Things Elon Musk Could Do with His Right Hand Instead of the Nazi Salute

Grab something off a high shelf for a short person.

Pitch for an adult-amateur community baseball league. This is a great hobby for someone who needs to improve their coordination and can’t make friends based on their personality.

Pick up a classic work of literature — one that’s heavy and powerful, like a gun you can read. (Not Mein Kampf.)

Conduct a symphony (not Wagner).

Rock one of his twelve abandoned children while singing a lullaby — something besides ‘Horst-Wessel-Lied,’ the anthem of the Nazi Party from 1930–1945.

"Mspec gays and weirdos with neopronouns are the reason why no one's taking us seriously and they're erasing real queer identities."

Trump and Musk are some of the most powerful white supremacist on the planet that want to get rid of anyone who isn't an abled bodied cishet white person but go off about how that chronically online stranger is actually making equality harder. I would love to hear more about how the average queerphobic person simply doesn't take us seriously just because of lesboys and nothing else.

thinking about how evil is banal on this 8:21am in my work bathroom…it doesn’t matter if elon musk meant to do a nazi salute for hate crime purposes or if he was trying to be funny or if he even meant to do the gesture. he still did the gesture and nazis watched. trump’s intentions don’t really matter either in this context. he’s not a scheming diabolical genius, he’s a grifter who’s good at seizing an opportunity, such as the tiktok situation. but he’s still censoring information on that stupid app and he’s still fostering fascism and he doesn’t care.

it’s this hannah arendt quote from eichmann in jerusalem:

“For all this, it was essential that one take him seriously, and this was very hard to do, unless one sought the easiest way out of the dilemma between the unspeakable horror of the deeds and the undeniable ludicrousness of the man who perpetrated them, and declared him a clever, calculating liar—which he obviously was not.”

the people who perpetuate evil aren’t mustache-twirling villains with grand, dramatic plans to rule the world and crush good people under their boots. there’s no gravitas. the need for gravitas—for evil to make sense—is why antisemitic conspiracy theories are so appealing. but in reality, there’s apathy and greed and really cringe memes. there are people trying to make sense of suffering in all sorts of fucked up directions.

there are people who have no energy or time to care about politics. there are politicians who can’t see the bigger picture and have never looked into the eyes of people they hurt. a lawyer used chatgpt to write a case brief. evil is silly and stupid and in you and in me. fighting evil isn’t noble and doesn’t cohere to narrative structure. but it might start with acknowledging that elon musk did a nazi salute at an american presidential inauguration.

[vxsellie]

as someone who has spent years studying WW2 & the holocaust, america needs to wake the fuck up.

"it's a roman salute" ?????? you're a fucking idiot and that ideology is the reason this country is falling apart from the inside out. if you're defending him in any way whatsoever, you're the issue. nothing about what he did is justifiable, regardless of how many random ass excuses you give him.

elon musk is deemed to be the smartest man in the united states and you have the nerve to think this was an accident? to think he wasn't 100% aware of his actions & the consequences that were sure to follow? he's famous enough to have had media training enough to have been told repeatedly not to make hand gestures that could resemble that in any way.

but yeah. it was an accident.

hitler rose to power gradually. everyone believes he stormed into office, everyone cheered, and he began committing genocide. this happens via piecemeal development, not immediate change. or, as quoted from the handmaid's tale, "nothing changes instantaneously. in a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it."

anybody in a position of power is aware of this. it's about time some of you accept it as well.

the nazi party was initially shunned by the german population. they were extremists, nobody wanted them to run the government in a million fucking years. but things happen. in this case, the treaty of versailles was put in order & they thereby had no choice but to turn to the man who was claiming that he'd "make germany great again". sound familiar? yeah.

he was a wonderful politician at first. he fixed the economy, gained respect from neighboring nations, and took over lots of lost land from WW1. but, as time went on, he just kept going. no other country dared to say shit to him for fear of starting another war. so they left him to continue stealing more and more land, to rise higher and higher in power, to kill more and more of his own citizens.

by the time people realized he was a dictator, it was too late. jewish people were being gassed, land was being stolen, and wars were being declared.

america, we have a huge sign flashing in our fucking faces.

to ignore something that goddamn inexcusable would be nothing short of foolish. if nothing is done by this, we're signing our own death warrants.

[ceepi]

One of the first things that people ask when it comes to the rise of the Nazis to power is "why did the Germans vote for Hitler?". The response is always discussing the difficult economic situation of Germany at the time, the tension between people following the First World War, and Hitler's manipulation. Looking back on Hitler's campaign we can discern that he did in fact play on people's emotions, but other than that his speeches weren't particularly good. We can see the clear hints of the more harmful ideologies, until that's all that they become. We can sit here and judge the people of 1936 Germany and wonder why they would choose Hitler to solve their problems. Americans today are faced with the same issue as post-WWI Germans. The promises made by politicians are so appealing that people choose to ignore what it really means. The mass deportation of immigrants promised by Trump can be clearly linked back to Hitler's attempts to get rid of Jews. Both passionately blamed minorities for the problems of the common people. Hitler sowed hate amongst individuals, gave the masses someone to blame, blew things massively out of proportion so that he could then justify the horrible acts that he planned to enact on these minorities. Trump is clearly going down the same path. Elon Musk, chosen by Trump himself, given a position in government made just for him, did a Nazi salute in front of a crowd of people and faced only increased support from his followers. The MAGA agenda makes excuses for billionaires who actively harm them. They are seeing how much they can get away with before they lose these people, because despite working against the people that same group gave them the power to do so.

Your enemy isn't the woman trying to get an abortion. Your enemy isn't the gay couple you saw on the street. Your enemy isn't the immigrant, the black person, the trans person, isn't anyone that the right-wing is telling you is.

Your enemies are the politicians, the billionaires, the people who will come for you once they're done with everyone else.

Revolt, protest, take matters into your own hands because the people who tried saving you have had their rights taken away already and can no longer risk it.

[worlds-worst-ships]

Do you seriously, actually ship it?

Okay. Lets talk. Because apparently some of you are defending... well... "that" (under the cut)

"He's autistic! It was a stim!"

If you genuinely think that this has ANYTHING to do with autism, you are an objectively stupid person. Like, your brain is so fucking smooth, it puts the surface of freshly tempered glass to shame. You're a barely functional reprobate with subhuman intelligence who has no idea how to form thoughts so you let a 50 year old billionaire who spends too much time on his phone decide your thought process for you.

"He was throwing his heart out to the crowd!"

Now, I don't really play baseball, basketball, netball, or any sport where you throw anything other than sometimes darts, but... is that how you throw? You perfectly extend your arm at that angle? Twice? After spending years posting tweets that very much align with Nazi viewpoints? Do you throw a pitch in baseball and scream SIEG HEIL as the ball hurtles towards your opponent? No. Stop being a fucking idiot. This was deliberate. He did it twice.

"He's autistic! He doesn't know better!"

Please comment if you actually think this so I can personally call you a stupid cunt and block you. We absolutely do know better. Autism and Nazism aren't mutually exclusive.

"You're inhibiting his free speech!"

1st amendment only applies to censorship from government positions of power, which I am not, as should be obvious from the fact that I have no power to censor him. Though I shouldn't have to explain that.

"Well, he's gonna get away with it so stop being so sensitive!"

Yes. He is. But that's not a flex, that's A FUCKING MASSIVE PROBLEM. Call me sensitive if you want, but absolutely every single one of you should be offended by this. Did you pay attention in history class, or were you too tired after a long night of being fucking railed raw and bone dry by propaganda on Twitter? Moron.

"Well, he's rich and you're not, so there!"

Yep. Got me there. He's rich, and I'm not. Yknow, Hitler and a lot of Nazi officers were pretty minted too. So was Epstein, King Leopold, Stalin, Jimmy Saville, every MP currently serving in parliament... but sure, they're great people because they're rich, right?

"You're just a stupid offended libtard!"

Google "The Holocaust".

"Well, you're still using his app!"

His app? You mean the one he bought, then fucking ruined because he has no idea how to run it, right? And you because its basically impossible to find mutuals as a vtuber without it, you knew that, right? "His" app, please, you probably think Ronald McDonald makes your burger when you order McDonalds, you moron.

"If we punish Elon for this, then that's a violation of the first amendment!"

You mean like banning tiktok, removing any and all talk of election rigging, then putting it back up the next day? Or maybe like deleting any criticisms of you and your nazi salutes under your recent tweets despite it blowing up everywhere else? Or does that not count because its something you agree with? Yeah. You've been cucked harder than Sneako and you don't even realize it. Elon and his government buddies are leaving your free speech rights looking like this

Aaaaanyway

I find it well and truly laughable that so many people like Elon will say all this insane shit and do all these fucking heinous things and people will defend them. Like how that gun woman who shit herself says stuff like "I'm not homophobic, I just think gay people are disgusting and that they should die" or that comedian nobody finds funny anymore spends hours whining about trans people but says he's not transphobic.

Lets all be on the same page for once and have the balls to say what we actually think. Elon got so close, but being a spineless edgelord who doesn't have the balls to just say what he thinks out loud is quite the weakness.

[destiel-news-channel]

Someone please tell me that did not just happen.

[Image ID: A photo of Elon Musk. He is holding his right arm out in a gesture eerily similar to a Nazi salute. /End ID]

source link

The link includes a video and if you think this is just a photo taken at the right moment to make it seem like a Nazi salute I am sorry to report that the video makes it worse. My heart goes out to all Americans that they have now a President that is friends with and has appointed to a government position someone who does the Nazi salute at his inauguration.

[itsallpoliticsstupid]

It appears that Elon Musk has potentially done not one, but two, Nazi salutes at the Inauguration whilst speaking to the crowd.

Yes, you heard that right.

When I first saw the screenshot I gave the benefit of the doubt. That maybe it could have just been a taken at the wrong time and made to look like a salute. Then I saw the full video.

And it is so much worse. One to the crowd. One to the flag.

It seems that he has given up all pretenses now that Donald Trump is finally in power.

We are truly approaching what can be seen as the end of times.

Time to enjoy your life whilst you still can.

Edited to add the video. A lot of people are still defending it by saying it was a gesture towards Republicans saying his heart went out to them. But the optics are terrible regardless. You don’t just ‘accidentally’ do a nazi salute. And, even if you did, you tend to find a way to apologise after the fact. This feels more like him finally feeling free to express his beliefs or thinking it’s hilarious to wind up liberals. It’s not hilarious to watch a man who has the Presidents ear make such a gesture.

I really am fearful for the next 4 years now.

[beardedmrbean]

Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on X for “jewsplaining” to the Anti-Defamation League after the group defended Elon Musk’s “awkward gesture” that progressives insisted was a Nazi salute. 

Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused the antisemitism watchdog group of “defending a Heil Hitler salute” before arguing that the ADL “works for” President Trump and his allies.

“Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to the ADL on X.

“People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all,” she added.

Footage of Musk thanking Trump supporters took off Monday, with many questioning whether the tech mogul did a fascist salute after he placed his right hand over his heart and extended his arm in the air.

The ADL took to X in Musk’s defense, writing, “It seems that [Musk] made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,” and argued people on both sides of the aisle shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

Many social media users quickly took offense at AOC’s response, calling out the Bronx and Queens rep for trying to explain antisemitism to the watchdog group, with one commentator noting: “We now have AOC jewsplaining to the ADL.”

Another X user chimed in: “AOC trying to Jewsplain to the ADL why they are antisemitic. She’s officially lost her mind.”

Some users used the moment to drag Ocasio-Cortez, who has been an outspoken critic of Israel and previously accused the country of committing “genocide” against the Palestinian people.

“If, like @ADL, you fight antisemitism every day, I’m ready to respectfully hear your opinion on what Elon Musk intended. THAT’S NOT WHAT @AOC IS DOING. This is a cynical political game for her. She supports antisemites. She’s scoring cheap points against the ADL because they support the rights of ALL Jews including Israeli Jews,” one person wrote.

Others took offense at Ocasio-Cortez going against one of the most prominent American Jewish civil rights organizations in the US just because it didn’t fit her agenda.

“Just to be clear, AOC is trying to delegitimize the preeminent American Jewish civil rights organization here after spending the last 15 months defending those guilty of the very ideology the ADL was founded to combat,” one commentator argued.

“The ADL gave a good sound statement and AOC just went for its neck because it didn’t align with her politics. The U.S. political debate is already off the rails and it’s not even day one. If AOC wants to blame someone for encouraging antisemitism she should look at the mirror,” another person added.

Meanwhile, Musk defended the one-armed gesture he gave during Trump’s inauguration — arguing the left-wingers who accused him of giving a Nazi salute “need better dirty tricks.”

“The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk wrote on X.

Musk later thanked the ADL for coming to his defense, writing, “Thanks guys,” along with a crying laughing face emoji.

[sepptember]

The state of America right now:

On Trump's first day in office, he has gotten rid of a website about reproductive rights. it was a government website. As someone who is biologically female, that is terrifying. That is just the start of what rights he will be taking away from me. Anyone who has voted for him is actively against what America is "supposed" to stand for.

He has also stated that he plans to make only 2 genders, male and female. This is also actively again the people—there is no home of free when he is taking away people's rights to choose. This is also completely against biology. our president doesn't know about fucking biology.

ICE ( Immigrations and Customs Department) had already begun deporting families from the country. (for people who this directly affects, here is a website about your rights to help.)

During Trump's inauguration, the most famous neo-nazi Elon Musk did the Nazi salute. Some people are trying to defend him saying it was the Roman salute, when that is a salute for fascism, so they are basically saying he did in fact do the salute, they're just okay with it.

Trump wants to override the 14th Amendment, which gives people birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War during reconstruction. This Amendment also has the Equal Protection Clause, which was a key factor in the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Case. They argued that segregated schools violated that clause, and they won unanimous agreement from the court. Getting rid of the 14th Amendment is deeper than just birthright citizenship. Trump is working to make America a land of free white people where men have returned to the top.

Trump is using the Tik Tok ban as a political stunt. He originally wanted it banned, and here he is trying to win over the youth.

[the-anon-scp-confessions]

I never thought i'd ever have to make a post like this. But it's way too important to ignore. So yes, I do have to be political here. Why? Because things are happening in the US right now that are just impossible to ignore. I am wishing for all my US followers safety.

That being said: This blog is AGAINST Nazi and other subgroups of Neo-Nazi, White Supremacists, and Trump Supporters (re: "MAGA")

Yes. Elon Musk DID in fact do the salute. No, I do not care if it was a "Roman Salute" which is also literally called the 'Fascist Salute'. There are more proper hand gestures for throwing love to the people. Do NOT use the fact he's autistic - being autistic does NOT and will NEVER excuse shit like this and as an autistic person myself I am beyond disgusted.

Billionaire CEOs are NOT your friends. They are all in on this - delete meta owned apps, avoid platforms like facebook, instagram, Twitter/X, threads, WhatsApp, etc. if you can.

Punch your local Nazi. Be prepared to shout "La Migra" if you see a certain van that only causes harm. They are banning books that educated the people. Fight for your rights to exists. Fight for your siblings, fight for your friends if you're truly an ally.

This will affect us all globally.

Be prepared. Stay safe, and fight. Don't let fascist pigs win. Censoring the people is Evil. Book burning is evil.

To quote someone: We HAVE to fight. We cannot be silent and take this with our heads down and tails between our legs. What is happening in America is not okay by any way shape or form. Our social media is being heavily censored. They want us silenced and to not be able to band together. They want us to rip each other apart. This isn't a red versus blue issue, this is the 1% elite versus the rest of us. We need to organize. We need to fight.

Day one. It’s already started. ‘Elon Musk appears to make back-to-back fascist salutes at inauguration rally’ claims the Guardian. ‘Elon Musk accused of giving “Nazi salute” at Trump inauguration celebration’ says the Independent. The activist media are positively priapic with glee that Donald Trump’s most powerful ally just publicly endorsed Hitler live at his inauguration. Except of course that didn’t happen. And we know it didn’t happen because we do not have cabbages for heads. Let’s just hypothetically suppose for one moment that Musk is a clandestine fascist, one so ingenious and Machiavellian that he has managed to inveigle his way into the White House and is now poised to initiate the Fourth Reich. Does any sentient human being suppose for one moment that such an evil genius would now accidentally reveal his scheme to millions of people live on television?

Nobody believes this, of course. Or if they do, they should be supervised at all times, especially around cutlery. That goes for Rex Huppke at USA Today, who has published a piece entitled ‘Elon Musk’s “odd-looking” salute sure looked like a “Sieg heil” to me’. Perhaps it does. But I could have sworn that I saw the face of David Hasselhoff in my spinach frittata yesterday, and yet I’m pretty sure that’ll be the old pareidolia playing tricks on me again. If I were as literal-minded as Huppke, I’d probably assume that The Hoff had actually found a way to invade my breakfast and call an exorcist or something.

Within an hour of Huppke’s article being posted online, the following note was appended: ‘This column was updated to add new information’. God knows what defamatory nonsense that hit-piece contained before I got around to reading it. The media class still hasn’t quite grasped that falsely smearing someone as a Nazi is libellous, and that perhaps someone like Musk has the financial means to do something about it. (Also at the end of the article we have this little nugget: ‘Follow USA Today columnist Rex Huppke on Bluesky’. That explains quite a lot.)

I’m starting to think that avoiding libel should be included on the first day of any basic journalism course, given how often we see media outlets posting lies and then having to frantically apologise for it. And while they’re at it, the course should probably also include a session on why male rapists, paedophiles and murderers shouldn’t be referred to as ‘she’ and ‘her’. Just a thought.

While I would usually be prepared to concede that Huppke might just be as simple-minded as he seems, there’s something about his article that suggests otherwise. If he genuinely believed that Musk was giving a Nazi salute, why did he have to misrepresent the story? Not once in his piece does Huppke mention the context for the admittedly ill-advised gesture. Musk said to the audience, ‘my heart goes out to you’, which is why he struck his heart and mimed throwing it out to the crowd. He then turned and did it again, and the meaning is perfectly clear when the clip is seen in its entirety:

Now look at the clip that was being shared online by Musk’s detractors.

We have seen this kind of dishonesty so often, and it simply never works. The internet has certainly enabled the media to spread this misleadingly edited clip, but it also enables us to check its authenticity. And when people release that they have been lied to, the inevitable outcome is resentment. This is why throwing the word ‘Nazi’ around as though it has no meaning other than ‘someone I vaguely dislike’ is not an endearing or astute way to behave.

Naturally, Democratic politicians have been quick to exploit the situation as much as the press. Jerry Nadler, Representative for the 12th District of New York, jumped on to X to post his verdict:

‘I never imagined we would see the day when what appears to be a Heil Hitler salute would be made behind the Presidential seal. This abhorrent gesture has no place in our society and belongs in the darkest chapters of human history. I urge all of my colleagues to unite in condemning this hateful gesture for what it is: antisemitism.’

Thankfully, there have been some voices of reason. The Anti-Defamation League put out a sensible statement in an effort to subdue all the frenzied mutual masturbation of the Bluesky clan:

‘It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath.’

Musk and Trump have their political opponents; that much is obvious and all for the good. But given all the histrionic hogwash about ‘Nazis’ and ‘fascists’ during the run-up to the last election, I was hoping they might have all grown up a little. As I say, it’s absolutely clear that this strategy is wholly ineffective. The public are capable of reading history books. They understand that Nazis generally don’t pay visits to Auschwitz to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust and lay wreaths at memorial services there, as Musk did last year. They also are unlikely to be seen dancing to ‘YMCA’ with the Village People.

So once more for the hard of thinking in the media: calling people Nazis doesn’t work anymore. It’s not only unethical, it virtually guarantees that the very people you don’t want to be in power will win their elections. By all means, criticise Musk and Trump as much as you like. Those in power must be criticised; it’s essential for any functioning democracy. But lying about them and smearing them as fascists only lets the public know that you’re not to be trusted.

It's all so fucking tedious.

You don't hate legacy media enough. You think you do, but you don't.

[manichewitz]

the fact that people are seriously harassing grimes over elon musk doing the nazi salute is making me lose my mind. he is her EX BOYFRIEND, she’s actively in a custody battle over their children, and she’s already said many times that she wants nothing to do with him. imagine if YOUR ex became a nazi and everyone thought that if you didn’t tweet that you weren’t a nazi right away then clearly you were just as bad as they are even if you’ve barely spoken to each other in three years. like can we please leave hating a woman bc of what a man did in 2024 please god

edit: originally i said he was her ex-husband, but they were actually never even married. people are harassing her over an ex boyfriend she broke up with almost three years ago

[silvermoon424]

Elon Musk just did the n*zi salute in front of everyone on TV. I feel sick already. Somebody stop him before it gets even worse, PLEASE!

Oh yeah, I saw that.

Of course literal Nazis are already celebrating it and laughing about how normies are offended. I can't wait for Fox News to whitewash this and put out a narrative defending it that my ignorant Boomer parents will swallow hook, line, and sinker. It breaks my heart.

The fascists truly do not care about hiding it anymore. They've been shown time and time again that going mask-off will not cost you votes and support. They have no reason to keep pretending that they're decent people when they know they stand to lose nothing by showing their true colors.

Absolutely sick and embarrassing how the US fought a war to end Nazis and now we're actively allowing people Sieg Heil. Probably not a coincidence that everyone who lived through and/or fought in WWII is either extremely old and frail or dead. I really do think WWII veterans would have thrown hands if they saw this.

Idk man, I really don't know how to articulate how exhausted I am. I feel like I've seen this country degrade so fucking quickly in just this past decade. Of course it's always been bad here, it's always sucked for marginalized people and the working class and so many others. But it's gotten so much worse. People feel so emboldened to be openly hateful and bigoted. They love it when people get hurt and laugh at the pain of those they deem inferior.

I guess if nothing else I'm gonna revel in saying "I told you so" to every conservative I know and really rub in how fucking badly they messed up.

[twopoppies]

I'm not even American and I want to puke, the shift towards the far right is so scary. And like I'm a woman so it does affect me, but I'm also white and therefore somehow protected, I can't think how POCs are feeling.

elon musk literally did the nazi salute and it'll have no repercussions, people are already applauding him for it

These elections feel very different, and I hope so bad it's just an amplified feeling because of the context, but it really looks like we're entering some dark dark times. And I also wish I could not give a fuck about USA's elections because countries don't care this much about each other elections, like, it's not normal, but the influence will arrive everywhere and it's going to make things worse for everyone

So hugs to everyone and let's hope for the best

Hugs to everyone. All I can say is that our voices and protests matter more now than ever. Especially if you have the luxury of having enough privilege to be (relatively) safe. But it does feel very scary and very dark.
