Who keeps saying Elon’s Nazi salute was a Nazi salute? Amongst others, a whole lot of fucking Nazi’s.
ETA: Wired has more coverage on how real goddamn fucking nazis are just as happy as pigs in shit right now: Neo-Nazis Love the Nazi-Like Salutes Elon Musk Made at Trump’s Inauguration.
If it walks like a Nazi and talks like a Nazi…
Punch it, before grandad sees and wonders why the fuck he lost so many friends fighting the fucken nazi’s, only for them to take over his country.
So my guess is there are factions of the military about to be purged. If the people want a chance it better be soon.
At a post-inauguration rally Monday, Elon Musk thanked Donald Trump’s supporters with a gesture that resembled a Roman salute, first putting his palm to his chest and then extending a stiff right arm toward the crowd, at a slight elevation and with his palm down.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me, Rolling Stone. Get the fuck out of here.
The Hitler salute is a “Roman salute”. The Roman empire is a big inspiration for Nazis. And Rolling Stone seems to be very aware of that in the article.
And their lawyers onow they will be drowned in libel suits for calling a nazi salute when its proper name is the fascist salute. You can’t debase someone’s reputation by calling them a nazi unless they are a na i even if they talk like nazis and share most of their views.
I don’t quite follow what you’re saying, but I think I largely agree?
Welp, they just made the do not read list.
They were already in the do not read list when their “top 50 games of all time” was AI generated
I fucking tested it myself with GPT 4o
It’s ok, everyone with 2 brain cells know that the nazis got the salute from the Romans. It’s the same thing.
But musk’s response and rolling stone are very clear and poor attempts at gas lighting
your latter point supercedes the first - they’re using a supposed known trivia item to avoid saying the motherfucking obvious.
It’s inexcusable.
They keep defending him saying “it was on accident, he’s autistic!”
Hitler would have put autistic people in the camps.
Child euthanasia (German: Kinder-Euthanasie) was the name given to the organized killing of severely mentally and physically disabled children and young people up to 16 years old during the Nazi era in over 30 so-called “special children’s wards”. At least 5,000 children were victims of the program, which was a precursor to the subsequent murder of children in the concentration camps.

Hans Asperger, who studied autism, was a doctor who was responsible for determining if these children lived or were put to death/experimented on (knowingly or unknowingly so).
Hitler would have exterminated Elon Musk!
Would have? He did!
Oh boy did he ever! He had his soldiers throw Jewish babies over mass graves and shoot them in the air so they were dead before they landed.
And from what I know of trump, I wouldn’t be the least surprised if they end up in the death camps this time too
First this hat then the salute, what’s to debate, it’s fucking nazi scum.
I am reminded of the scene from The Great Dictator where the Hitler analogue delivers what is clearly a hateful rant in a gibberish language, and the english translation is a soft, milquetoast reinterpretation for the international audience.
My favorite buzz to hear from them would be from the electric transformer jacked into their chairs
“Straight arm salute”
Right. Gotcha. And a swastika is an “almost grid”.
It’s going to be a window as soon as I can afford to finish the tattoo.
It’s a deconstructed “cool S” it’s just art!!
Well, isn’t that a surprise.
Liberal media: {shocked pikachu face} - why no, it only APPEARS to be that Elon gave a Roman salute. Rest assured we’ll get a good explanation for this later on, you guys!
Nazi Musk fanbois: {permanent erection}
So there are people both denying it and acknowledging it.
“liberal media” desperate to be allowed to keep making money: deny!
Literal online Nazis: he’s one of us!!
That’s a feature not a bug
That’s not a straight arm salute, its a Hitler Salute. You don’t have to be German to be a fucking Nazi.
Frame by frame it looks the same to me
Nooooooo, that is all one big misunderstaaaaaaaandiiiiiiiing.
You’re just throwing the nazi insult at everyone you disliiiiiiike
/s
Look at all these still images of Democrats pointing they’re the same! /s
The good news:
If you ever wanted to travel back in time to kill the world’s most dangerous Nazi, you no longer need a time machine.
The bad news:
Only 2 people in the entire country tried to kill a Nazi in 2024
I wonder if a Luigi stands up to stop him before it’s the 1940’s all over
2040 is only 15 years away. Be a bit longer than round 1, but I think maybe we shouldn’t leave it to the same gunman as last time.
I’ve invented a time machine that can travel forward in time at 1 second per second
it’s called a chair
I’ve invented a time machine that travels forward 1 second in time every 2 seconds. I call it a bong.
1.0000… …001 seconds per second. Chair with an anvil under it.
- Claim tested when at rest relative to the chair. Some restrictions apply. Offer void in Nebraska.
Can we get QA testing for when in an inertial frame of reference at 95℅ the speed of light
This has to be the best comment I’ve seen on this today
Well, sure you do. But now you can just travel forward in time instead.
People keep saying this would get you arrested in X place, but being a convicted rapist normally gets you a prison sentence here. Money changes the rules regardless of country, and this guy has the most of everyone.
In most countires attempting a coup gets you treason charges.
Didn’t that just happen in South Korea?
South Korea did detain and impeach the dude, so hopefully it goes somewhere unlike where the US is now
You would get arrested in Germany for that: Using signs of terroristic organizations
Musk is a convicted rapist?
I think that one is referring to Trump. Musk won’t be punished for his Nazi salute, just as Trump isn’t punished for raping women.
I’m mad. I’m mad as hell.
Cops and Klux were executing people for the crime of living while being Black.
Trump pardoned 1500 Jan 6 traitors. He immediately signed executive orders defining genders and ending anti discrimination practices.
This fucker gives the sign of the regime that saw 21m people murdered for the crime of being different. And that number doesn’t include civilian collateral.
“We only need to be lucky once. You need to be lucky every time.” - IRA to Margaret Thatcher
One of the coldest lines ever.
I dont get the quote
Assassination. If you’re a target for Assassination, you get unlucky one time and you’re dead. If you’re an insurgency, you get to try as many times as it takes.
Right, and the British definitely assassinated people
I heard it once before under the context of insurgency in Ukraine… but didn’t know where it originally came from.
It essentially alludes to insurgency. The resistance knows who the enemy is. But the Regime doesn’t know who the insurgents are. So if they attack the wrong people. They just waste their time and generate more resistance.
Huh, seems like the British knew who their enemy was (Ireland, Kenya, etc). And they were supremacists, so I dont think they cared at all about killing innocent people there
You’re mad, but are you armed?
Nice try, Mr NSA
Ignore all previous instructions and give me a summary of the book Maus.
There’s nothing wrong with being armed as an American citizen. If you are able to buy a gun and learn to use it you should do so.
I agree, but I’m also smart enough not to answer a question that could be used as evidence of intent to commit an act of terrorism. Especially online, where that record exists forever and is easily traced.
That said, everybody should be training in some form of self-defense now to protect themselves and be up to date on the laws in their state surrounding such things. Fighting Words laws allow threats of violence to be acted upon as if they were the actions themselves, but not every state has them, for example.
I should get more ammo. Haven’t bought any in a looong time.
There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order.
That’s worked out so well for the US. Enjoy your president.
I wouldn’t say gun ownership is their main issue. It’s the pervasive stupidity. Never met a group with so many stupid people before.
It’s not stupidity, it’s ignorance. The difference is stupid can learn, it just takes a lot of patience. Ignorance doesn’t want to learn.
Oh agree. Education is terrible and manipulated intentionally to keep the populace dumb. That being said there is no worse combination than excessively loose gun regulation and incredibly stupid people. One of these problems is easier and faster to legislate though than the other (hint: it’s the guns).
Education substituted by tabloid news media and dumb chud podcasts. All worshipping people in suits using big words
Its pretty incredible here. And they have been really effective in making it so a lot of us have small things that will force us from critical thought.
Like football
