Proof that wealth does not mean intelligence….or integrity.
Such a comfort that this perpetual adolescent has such a prominent role in the new administration and unlimited funds to carry out his vision.
his goal is to normalize it.
already, edgelord trolls are parroting him. the edgiest incels are now all walking around giving nazi salutes.
a year form now it will be mainstream on the right. it’s not just about being fascists, these motherfuckers idolize nazi-ism and want to bring it into our culture so that they can openly admire and mimic it. this is how they do that.
Elon is such a cringe edgelord
Uh actually we did edge lord
We all saw it coming
Dude is like if someone from /pol got rich.
He probably doesn’t think he’s a Nazi (well, now he probably does, but I’m sure it all started as some trolling or some shit), but the signs are all there, and his approach of making light of it is all to keep some amount of plausible deniability.
Wonder how the hand gesture crowd is gonna spin this one
For a guy who supposedly is ‘CEO’ of a bunch of world class companies, he sure has lots of time on his hands.
So pumped for the ADL to explain that Hess wasnt actually a nazi.
He’s never going to live this down, I really think he miscalculated and this all is going to catch up with him. If Trump decides he’s too much of a nuisance it’s over. He’s burnt all his bridges and goodwill.
On top of that he’s realizing that he’s not going to mars and that someone else is going to beat him to FSD.
Hey kids – get really rich and you can say and do whatever you want behind the protection of a private security team and soul-less lawyers.
* He never denied it was a Nazi salute
* He has made nazi statements in the past and continues to do so now
* He is at this moment actively funding and boosting the AfD in Germany, who is literally Germany’s far-right nazi party.
You have to be a really, really special kind of fucking brainless to believe any fucking line that Elon Musk did not knowingly and purposefully give Hitler’s salute to the crowd and Donald Trump.
What in absolute preposterous fuck is wrong with these rock brained idiots in society. I mean ten years of this fucking shit and I am so fucking disgusted at the level of competency of Americans. These people are so fundamentally and totally broken.
**EDIT**: So, because this blew up, and because I’ve followed Elon for a long time and understand the way he operates pretty well, I’m going to break down *exactly* why he gave two seig heils at the Republican conference.
Elon was a bullied autistic kid who has turned into a bully as an adult. The more money he’s gotten, the worse he’s become. There are countless, *countless* accounts of him being a fucking bully. He’s always been a dick. No one really likes him. They voted to remove him from PayPal when he went on vacation – pretty much unanimously – because even *that* group couldn’t tolerate him.
He’s a con man. He understands what to say to appeal to an audience. When he only sells electric cars, he brands himself a crunchy SF liberal. When he wants to take over the world, he brands himself a far-right autocrat.
He has the mentality of a 14 year old, with the net worth of a small nation state. He lives in Troll Twitter, 4chan. If you know how those people operate you know how Elon operates.
They think they’re smarter than everyone. When they share nazi shit, it’s not because they deeply, in their heart, give a shit about “the white race.” For Elon, the only race that matter is Elon.
It’s because they enjoy pushing the buttons of “the normies.” They like finding the things that rile people up, and then doing those things. If you’ve spent any time around 14 year olds, you understand what I mean. If you’ve been a 14 year old, you should know what I mean.
Elon knows Republicans are nazis that deny they’re nazis. He understands them as well as any of us do. He knows the game. He is fucking with that game. Pushing it. Mocking them for it.
To bring this back, the reason that I bring up that he was a bullied autistic child, is to point out that **he harbors extreme contempt for “normal” society**. This is common in mistreated neurodivergent kids. They see all of mainstream society as the enemy.
This is his retribution. He doesn’t *like* the Republican party. He doesn’t *agree* with it. He’s taking a giant steaming dump on these fools’ head. He’s turning them into his flunkies, siccing one group of normies on another and watching them tear each other apart to sate a deep-seated loathing for neurotypical people and society.
When he gives the nazi salute, he has two goals:
* Dominate the headlines with the YouTube strategy of doing something so outrageous everyone *has* to cover you
* Mock, and assert his dominance over, all the Republicans in that room by going *full* nazi **and forcing them to cover for him**.
That last bit is important. He wants to force them to dance for him. To humiliate themselves on his behalf.
*He* isn’t denying it. In fact he’s continually *fueling* it and keeping it in the headlines.
This is to humiliate all those party officials and voters that he has the *utmost* disdain for, by making them bend into pretzels to do what he knows, and we all know, is a fucking heil hitler.
If you have paid attention to Elon for *any* amount of time this is painfully obvious. Like, so, so fucking obvious what he’s doing, because this is who he is. He’s a troll. He doesn’t care that his actions will lead to genocide, because he has so much money he’s not really a part of the human race anymore.
Just like internet trolls don’t give a fuck about the anonymous people on the screen that they piss off; Elon views everyone in that room, and all of us, as piexlated 1s and 0s that he is entitled to troll.
And society, Republicnas, voters, the media – they all fucking prove him right. They prove they’re the NPCs he thinks they are, by acting exactly as he knows they will, and loading his bank account up with money while covering him and praising him and whitewashing all his nazi antics.
I’ll leave you with my recreation of what I’m sure is a very faithful recreation of what was going through his head that day. These are Elon’s thoughts, plucked from his brain by me simply following the dipshit thing he Tweets and does and coming to the really obvious conclusion about how he thinks.
> Ha ha, look at all these losers, Elon. So stupid. Not smart like you. I’m sOoOooO much smarter than these NPCs. Look at all these fucking rubes! Just standing there. Clapping.
> Omg Elon. You know what would be so fucking funny. Dude. You know what would be fucking *hillarious*? If I gave a heil hitler. Ha ha. Can you imagine? Can you imagine if I just gave a full fucking Nazi salute to these rubes? They’d probably clap for me. They’d clap. These stupid nazi rubes. I bet I could heil Hitler Trump to his fat face and he’d just stand there. Ha ha. He wouldn’t do shit, that fat bitch. He’d probably salute me. They all would. They’d applaud. And then the media would say it was a “weird hand movement.” They wouldn’t even be able to say it’s a heil hitler. They totally wouldn’t. Oh my god, I’m going to do it. I’m gonna do it. I’ll make the front page of reddit too. On Trump’s big day. Ha ha ha ha ha. Here we go!
> Oh my God I did it. They’re clapping! They’re actually doing it! Look at these stupid fucks! Look at the look on Trump’s dumb fat face! They’re clapping me! I just did a Hitler and they clapped! Jesus these people are stupid. Ha ha Elon. These fucking NPCs. Ha ha. I can do *anything* I want. Literally anything. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
There’s a scene in *Sherlock* where one of the villains – a blackmailer who collects information on people to pressure them into doing what he wants – walks into Sherlock’s apartment while he’s talking, and calmly takes a piss on his carpet, and then leaves.
Just to show he can. He doesn’t really care about the piss, or the carpet. He doesn’t care about anything, and that’s the point. He does it because he can show how little he cares about it, and how no one can do fuck all to stop him doing it.
That’s what Elon did. He pissed on the carpet of Trump’s inaguration, because he knew no one would fucking stop him, and that’s how little he thinks of the political party he’s *in*.
Is he fucking 12 what is that joke.
Nothing he says about this is relevant. He literally proclaimed to the whole world “I AM A NAZI!”.
It’s ok guys the ADL and Netanyahu gave him their stamp of approval. He’s certified 100% kosher
Nothing says master race like a hair transplant, plastic surgery, botox, jaw and cheek fillers… oh and getting others to level up your video game character. Real supremacy right there
he is laughing at everyones attempts to get it to stick. as if to say “yeah, i meant it. and now i will make fun of how you can’t do shit about it by making more nazi jokes to make light of it even more.”
Elon is a Nazi D-Bag. Shame on anyone who normalizes his behavior.
[He knew exactly what he was doing.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fvoh9ehkt9fee1.gif)
And so does anybody who defends Musk, or dilutes it by saying it was autism or an accident or it was misunderstood.
It wasn’t a troll. It wasn’t an edgelord joke. Musk did a Nazi salute while standing behind the podium of the President of the United States. If that doesn’t terrify or disgust you as an American, that says the same thing about you as it does about Musk.

Mark my words: By the end of this presidency, conservatives will be “ironically” doing Nazi salutes at rallies.
Tired of watching these billionaires going through puberty and mid-life crises at the same time, with their little edge-lord comments, karate classes to boost self-confidence, and broccoli haircuts…it’s all so fucking pathetic.
He didn’t have to do the Nazi salute so I know he is a Nazi.
He’s such a disgusting human being
It’s a party of internet trolls. Congratulations “conservatives”. The incoming policies will hurt you long before they touch me, you epic morons.
This guy is so painfully unfunny and uncool.
This is a psychotic breakdown, fueled by unlimited pharmaceuticals and sadistic apathy.
This is narcissistic collapse.
X is a sans serif swastika. Explains his obsession.
Can this guy just OD on ketamine already, for everyone’s sake?
> His supporters have argued alternately that Musk’s autism affects how he behaves in public, and that the salute was nothing much out of the ordinary.
This is an insult to people with autism. Musk supports the far right party in Germany that has downplayed the Holocaust. Autism plays a role in people being socially awkward. It doesn’t play a role in being a Nazi sympathizing greedy piece of shit
My grandfather did NOT escape Nazi Germany and fight for this country, only to have Nazis become normalized and return to power. I swear I’m going to do everything in my power to make my grandpa proud during the next few years. Fuck them all.
This is why we need to make Nazi’s afraid again. If you see a Nazi you beat the fuck out of them show that Nazi beliefs are not welcome and that are scum
I bet CBS is glad they fired their weather guy over calling the Nazi salute that Elon calls a Nazi salute, a nazi salute.
