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.

Call It What It Was: A Nazi Salute.

Shortly after President Trump’s swearing-in yesterday, Elon Musk made the Nazi salute (a.k.a. the Fascist salute) in front of a packed audience at Washington D.C.’s Capitol One Arena. Here is the video:

This statement should not be controversial. We saw Musk do it before our own eyes. This isn’t the Zapruder film — no detailed analysis is necessary. This is Elon Musk, the man who effectively purchased the presidency of the United States for his friend Donald Trump, saluting his leader in the same manner that the Nazis saluted theirs — right arm raised up. End of story.

Filosofa Is Grrrrrrrrowling ... Again

There’s an expression I’ve heard many times – “Nice guys finish last”.  This is so very true in the U.S. as of noon yesterday.  Many things have raised my hackles in the past 24 hours, but none so much as these … Pardon Me??????????????????????

In case anyone missed how unambiguous Musk's nazi salute was.

This is where we are right now

It was definitely a Nazi salute, from an apartheid loving white nationalist.

Elon Musk nazi salute #elonmusknazi

On January 20, 2025, during a rally celebrating President Donald Trump's inauguration, Elon Musk delivered a speech that included gestures resembling a Nazi salute. Musk first placed his right hand on his chest with fingers splayed, then extended his right arm upward at an angle with fingers together and palm facing down. He repeated this gesture shortly afterward.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) defines the Nazi salute as "raising an outstretched right arm with the palm down." Musk's actions have sparked controversy and debate. Some critics, including Democratic lawmaker Rep. Jerry Nadler, condemned the gesture as inappropriate and reminiscent of dark historical chapters. However, others, like the ADL and certain commentators, defended Musk, suggesting the gesture was an innocent mistake made in enthusiasm.

As of now, Elon Musk has not directly addressed the incident. The debate continues amidst differing interpretations and reactions.

Here are some relevant hashtags for the controversy:

Guys... the ADL said, and I quote (quoting manually because fuck nazi twitter I'm not embedding it and I can't be arsed to screencap, google for confirmation if you want),

"This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that

@elonmusk

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. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead."

Bull. Fucking. Shit. That was a nazi salute, done to the crowd and then a second time to the flag. By a guy who's said a lot of antisemitic shit and sympathized with/endorsed nazis up to and including AfD in Germany.

The Usual Suspects are eating this up and talking about how this proves people talking about "antisemitism" are just trying to defend Israeli war crimes and don't care about Diaspora Jews.

You've seen the stuff I reblog; we're in a "broken clock sorta right twice a day" situation. While I disgree with them strongly on a lot of things (far more than I did sixteen months ago), I think they're right about one thing here.

We can't trust the ADL anymore. If they refuse to acknowledge Musk's fucking sieg heil, we cannot rely on them to reliably fight antisemitism anymore.

I understand why they may feel the need to make compromises to have continued access to the halls of power and avoid being institutionally attacked... but while those compromises may protect them it leaves those they exist to protect high and dry.

Stay safe everyone.
