No, these Democratic politicians did not make the same arm gesture as Elon Musk • FRANCE 24

A photomontage of four Democratic politicians – Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris – has racked up over 150 million views on X, claiming to show them making what has been likened to a “Nazi salute”, similar to the arm gesture Elon Musk was criticised for at Donald Trump’s inauguration. These images are stripped of their context and are all taken as screenshots from wider speeches, with no deliberate gestures. Vedika Bahl debunks clip by clip in this episode of Truth or Fake.

  1. It’s simply giving his heart to the crowd.. why would Elon be Nazi? Do yall hear yourselves? Nazis are gone. What we have now is criminal politicians who hate that he’s exposing their fraud that’s been making them all rich.

  2. I’ve realized something. You and all the liberals are all still projecting when you speak of Natzis. I should have realized since every thing spoken these days is exactly what liberals are doing. Exactly. When you guys carve into cybertruck, you’re leaving your mark. You yell, scream, burn, run from conservative YouTubers, and value your agenda over facts.

  4. No, first you say that the content has been stripped from the internet, THEN you tell us it was a snapshot of them talking. I watched the video of then putting their hand over their hearts and doing the EXACT same salute as Elon. This is an example of collusion and social engineering by legacy media and it’s also an example of why no one trust you anymore.
    Elon is doing an audit and it’s already confirmed that the mainstream media Was getting paid by UDAID. So you have a vested interest in creating this propaganda and gaslighting the public.

  5. Those that believe Elons excuse for the Nazi salute have defintley had the vaxxeen and believe the official nineleven story

  12. Oh it’s quite bad that they are being used out of context huh??? Please tell me why the Democrats think they are so damn special that only they can be justified on news media? It’s so obvious what they are doing. It’s actually pathetic.

  15. Now let’s talk about all these Democrats don’t support Israel

    Rather support the homosexual killing Palestine hmmmm

  16. I find it ironic that you all sit here and say the 4 democrats are being taken out of context but when Elon gets taken out of context (he literally said my heart goes out to you when he did this gesture) you’re fine with accusing him.

  23. Elon Musk’s was deliberate, but the democrats’ were shared out of context? The Obama example she didn’t even show him doing the gesture in the video. The Elizabeth Warren example she says was her saying goodbye to the crowd, struggling to see how that’s any different than saying thank you… then Kamala Harris’ was to punctuate a speech she says. So punctuating a speech makes a sig heil okay? Gotcha, so forget the evidence, mob rule is the desired outcome. Good to know. Thanks for making your intentions clear because if words were all that mattered I would be a democrat. I have tried so hard to stay a democrat but I keep getting lied to and then told to shut up for pointing out that I was lied to. I really struggled to vote for Donald Trump, I still don’t really trust him either. However even though everyone keeps saying he’s this malicious liar, he seems to at least attempt to live up to his campaign promises and in many cases does live up to them. Democrats truly do not even try to do what they say they will. They just want the vote and then their voters concerns are tossed aside as they remind us to focus on the big bad red orange man who says mean things… to do anything else would be an act of… what’s the latest one… oh yea, it would be an act of transphobia! Because context matters…

  31. How come all the democrats were shown in their proper context but Elon musk wasn’t? This is very sad to see that European new media is even more biased and absurd than US media…something I didn’t think was possible

  32. So the dems salute is out of context but Elon saying "my heat goes out to you" being left out of the conversation is not out of context?

  36. Republicans sharing false memes to try to discredit Democrats and distract from their own leaders' poor behavior? Imagine that. lol

  42. "Truth or fake"
    You call this "misinformation" then proceed to find the source and show that all of these images are in fact real. They are not fake images at all. They are not doctored images or AI generated or anything. They are real images that really actually happened.

    Thanks for providing the source material to confirm what we all realized when we saw that screenshot: the media is making a big stink out of Elon not because of the hand gesture he made, but because they see what they want to see.
