    I know after I do such an awkward salute, I immediately travel to Germany to tell the far right extremists to not be burdened by the past.

    …he must be VERY socially awkward.

      My autism made me a Nazi.

      Edit: /s Autism has zero bearing on one’s political ideology. Elon is just a fascist asshole.

          I guess this is our reality now? Something so outrageously stupid is questioned as reasonably possible. Yes, it was a joke.

            Unfortunately, it’s been reality for a while. We just didn’t realize that making fun of nazis could be used by nazis to make more nazis.

            Thanks for the clarification!

      Right wing extremists that use outstretched right arms in their propaganda which in itself is mirroring actual Nazi propaganda.

      No connection there though, clearly.

    I despise when fans try to rationalise it with him being autistic. That’s just wrong.

    If something looks stupid but it works, then it is not stupid

    He was smart enough to know that he can normalize a nazi salute by doing it in a specific context because people will defend him, allowing other nazis with less influence to do the same

    If it was an accident he would distance himself from it

    Loser will probably be saying “You’re not a Nazi” to the one throwing him in an oven.

    The media is captured by fascists. Yes, even the “liberal media”. Trust your own eyes.

    Let’s see… He speaks like a Nazi, is friends with Nazis, supports Nazi parties, posts dog whistle Nazi type memes all the time and make Nazi salute in public. Even literal Nazis are publicly delighted that he did that. 🤔

    Of course he is constantly using the cover of ambiguity (“just a joke bro”, “just an innocent meme”, “just an honest mistake”). But it is clear as day this was meant as a Nazi salute. He just demonstrated the world he is untouchable. And USA had officially dessened into fascism.

    The saddest part is he probably thought he was engaging in some 5,000IQ power level hiding when he did it.

    I do believe it was an overly enthusiastic gesture. But why is that particular gesture in his “vocabulary”?! I don’t holler N***** because I don’t use the word.

    And this, Americans throw a closed fist, thumb knuckle up, in front of our face, when we want to express “Fuck yeah!” So, uh, where did this come from?

      Dude’s a Nazi. It was an overly enthusiastic gesture, but more importantly a sign that he’s “hip with the cool kids”. The cool kids, in this case, being nazis.

    So many people apologizing and explaining why Musk did this. Musk has not apologized or explained why he did it.
