“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
– George Orwell, 1984.
The salute is both showy and vile, but honestly, people need to be focusing way more on Trump’s long string of executive orders and pardons. That’s the real danger. This is just a distraction.
Don’t repeat the same mistakes from Trump 1.0!
*bloop*
MF’s will defend this point for life and say it wasn’t a salute, and okay, sure.
Do it at work.
The full clip.
Hand flat on chest, then throw it out in the air at an upwards diagonal, in a fierce manner.
Go to work and do that to your boss.
You’re showing your appreciation, aren’t you?
Does this mean Elon be the next COD Zombies character?
No, that is a nazi salute. We do not give voice to the nazi sympathizers and repeat their gaslighting. We call a spade a spade. We call a nazi, a nazi.
I would call it an unfortunate gesture if not for the nazi like rhetoric and permission for it to fester on Twitter.
That was a gesture in the same way that the American Civil War wasn’t about slavery.
More like Elon Mussolini
I have 11 sentence enhancers for anyone calling that a “gesture of love and peace.”
They’re denying it because they know it’s bad
Gestures have meaning. If it was “just a gesture”, what did he mean?
No that’s a Nazi salute, not up for any discussion at all
Good lord. How do people get this stupid?
I’m definitely going to get downvoted for this and I’m by no means a fan of Elon, but I think that probably wasn’t intended to be a nazi salute. If you watch the video he’s saying “my heart goes out to you” then he grabs over his heart and attempts to act like he’s throwing it. I think because he’s such a strange socially incapable person he tried to motion what he was saying without registering that he had just hit a sieg heil in front of the entire world. I don’t see why he would do it intentionally because, crazy or not, that would do nothing but hurt his agenda and make people hate him more than they already do. He gains nothing by declaring himself a nazi to the whole world.
I read this in Man Rays’ voice lmao
Reverse gas chamber.
I hate that we live in a world where this is even possible. We are all Man Rays against an army of Patricks.
100% a nazi

I hate Elon musk but that’s not this is man
Democrats in 2024: How could we have possibly lost.
Democrats in 2025: Omg Nazis!
Keep doing what you do and wonder why you’re getting left behind
They really do think Americans are THAT stupid.
This is the perfect meme
Its almost like there is a video of him doing it…..
I,like my fellow leftists have never met anyone I didn’t like that wasn’t a Nazi, they’re everywhere
I’m just going to link this as a response to every trumpy on this topic moving forward
Orange man bad I’m so sensitive
But he’s autistic. Hahahaha!
This showcases childrens logic…
According to the ADL the ok sign is a white supremacist hand gesture but what Elon did is an “awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm.”
This is so stupid
“My heart goes out to you”
While I personally just think its Elon being an idiot and trying to be “cool” (And missing the mark horrendously, as usual) rather than an actual nazi salute, I do understand the absolute panic it put in people and I do see why people think otherwise
The man is a moron either way, tbh
I’ve went my whole life, and I only accidentally almost did the nazi salute once (really weird fuckin wave, it was my b). But I then didn’t do the same thing two more times. It’s actually been pretty easy not accidentally doing a nazi salute except that one time
shows picture of many democrats doing the same and yall not getting triggered about it
Nahh if you want to paint someone in bad lighting based off your personal opinion then yeah. But if you like the guy then you know hes playful . And he likes pissing off liberals . So he probably did it on purpose but also doesnt represent the nazi message and likes freedom of speech like he claims. So he sent a message saying “i am free” . He knew what he was doing but he still intended to do the roman salute knowing how mad yall would get .
He’s taking it back.
Still a weird ass gesture 💀
It’s the “Bellamy Salute”.

You guys gotta actually watch the video, I watched it fully expecting a Nazi salute and it wasn’t what it was, everyone is just posting this out of context to destroy an already tattered image
Oh right just like all of these guys right?
