One of the richest men in the world just did the Nazi salute, twice, on stage at the inauguration of the US president...how is that not mainstream? 

Has he said it was a Nazi salute? Did he shout Sieg Heil or White Power while he was doing it? Surely if it was a Nazi salute and he did it in this type of a public setting he won't deny what it was when asked. He's probably working on a modern version of the gas chamber now behind the scenes.

New moral code just dropped: if you don't proudly claim you did something, that means you didn't do it.

Does he need to say thats what it was?? Pretty fucking obvious what it was from looking at it

And no, he didn't deny it, just deflected

Frankly they need better tricks.The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired

Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, etc.

Lemme guess, there's no war in Ukraine, because the Russians they call it a "special military operation"?

So what then would be the point in doing it in front of all these people then denying it if that was his intention? Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I am not defending Musk I have never trusted him from beginning especially when you look into his background story but unless he is suffering with some sort of mental illness I don't understand why he would have done this.

Just so we're sure we're on the same page, can you watch the full three and a half minutes of the absolute loser in question talking yesterday?

Hopefully that will remind you that he's essentially a billionaire 4chan user, replete with Pepe the Frog-worship style juvenile trolling antics: precisely the kind of person who might try to "get away with" doing two Nazi salutes in the way a schoolchild might try to get away with slipping a curse word into a question they're asking a teacher.

The only thing is that, rather than "merely" being a troll, all of Musk's other actions and public discourse are also more closely aligned with what a Nazi salute represents than they are with any Nazi-opposing positions, bearing in mind that you don't need gas chambers to be a Nazi: even the Nazi party didn't have them until towards the end of their existence.

It was clearly a Nazi salute. And there will be no repercussions as Musk answers to nobody now. He is, figuratively speaking, bulletproof.

There's a fun video on Reddit showing Elmo's gesture synced to a bunch of lads in front of swastikas doing their's and wouldn't you know it's the same thing.

Sure I know that even just disagreeing with someone these days can have people calling you a Nazi. I have never had a Twitter account I can't see that video. So, basically Elon did this for a laugh?

You don't need a twitter account to view a public tweet.

It is asking me to sign in to see just like it does with 99% of the Twitter links I click on.

Strange, maybe a browser issue. Anyway, not exactly hard to find:

Musk has spent months promoting far right politics on X and just did a Nazi salute to the people, then a second one to the flag on inauguration day.

If he isn't a Nazi he's failing miserably at not actually being one.

[Bürggermeister]

To be fair, it's more a pair of generic fascist salutes than strictly National Socialist. As correctly pointed out, he didn't shout Sieg Heil at all, so... come on, like, he could be an Il Duce man.

[The Great Cull]

It's funny the discussion about Musk and Zuckerberg being on the left or the right. Those cunts don't see things that way at all. In their eyes they're either on the side that keeps the money coming in or the side that keeps even more money coming in. They don't have any form of moral compass at all. Any of their recent statements or appearances are purely self serving to keep their popularity/visibility high to make more dolla'
