I think he was practicing it in the mirror, too. There is no way that this is a coincidence or a mistake.

Yeah, claims are already going around that this is just must being clumsy

You don't clumsily accidentally make a Hitler salute, especially after cosying up with far right politicians that love what Hitler did.

There must be consequences for this. Anyone who is not a neo nazi should stop doing anything with any of the products from musk. You work at Tesla? Congratulations, you work at a neo nazi factory, you might want to reconsider your career future. Same goes for those at SpaceX; do you really want to be that guy who, ten years from now, has on their record that they worked at the neonazi rockets company?

People should leave Twitter in droves now, and so should companies. They should all stop buying Tesla shit, sell their Tesla stock, and get with the normal folks.

Fuck musk, let there for once be real consequences that he'll at least feel in his wallet.

I am legit worried about him so brazenly display his fascist tendencies. If this goes anywhere how it went 80 years ago, and I fear it may very well be, then at the end of it, let's please make sure we get rid of the Nazi scour forever.

I grew up with "never again never forget" and within a decade that went to "well this is cool man!" Clearly we didn't do enough to teach people and we've been way, WAY too lenient with those that love fascism

Not odd at all. Very specific in fact.

Magas are apparently explaining this with

“PBS News, which is publicly funded, is spreading propaganda that Elon Musk made a ‘fascist salute’ during his speech at Capital One Arena,” the post said. “Their own video clearly shows that he was motioning ‘my heart goes out to you’ to the audience. DEFUND PBS.”

Yeah, Hitler's heart also went out to all those poor Jews..

Yeah. So weird, this Nazi salute. From the actual President of a fascist admin. Odd. Odd looking, even.

Just saw a video of it, that's not just Nazi like, that is a textbook ENTHUSIASTIC NAZI SALUTE!

Odd looking is a kind way of looking at it.

Elon I had well figured for a Nazi, certainly paints a message doing that at the POTUS podium, but CNN just calling it . . . odd? What the fuck is that non response about? I can only imagine that if they managed to open up labor camps CNN would call it 'slightly concerning'. Now more than ever we're on our own, the big club has give up all pretense of being unbiased and unmasked themselves for who they always wanted to be.

edit: And this is the NYTs enlightened take

Dafuq is this unelected dipshit doing at the podium to begin with? That should be the first question to ask.

I mean we all know why but I refuse to pretend this should be the "new normal"

“This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd,” the journalist said, calling Musk “a friend to the Jews.”

Also, Asperger's is no longer a medical term and there is no indication that Elon has ever actually been evaluated. Autism is not an excuse to throw a Nazi salute, for fuck's sake!

As social media exploded with condemnation of what some were calling a “Sieg Heil,” with some others applauding the world’s richest man’s gesture, there was also some speculation that Musk’s movement was more like that of an Imperial Roman general in the Gladiator mode.

Do people think the Nazis invented their salute? They took it from the Romans. To say it was actually a Roman salute is to also say it was a Nazi salute because they are basically one and the same.
