I wonder how trump feels that the most viral thing about his inauguration wasn’t him
If he has any sense that overcomes his pride, he should be grateful that someone else is taking some flak for him.
This is becoming a meme.
Used by the left to attack Musk. Used by the right to praise him.
The left and the right, the only two kinds of people in the world. Two homogeneous groups, two hive minds
God I hate those labels
This was my own reaction.
Yeah, that’s undeniably obvious what it is
Reminder that Fox News declared Michelle Obama a terrorist over a fist bump.
Our times Henry Ford, I guess
The ADL is defending him. Bootlickers.
the ADL is a zionist organization that supports genocide. they’re not bootlickers. they’re the sole of the boot itself.
ADL do not care about anti semitism at all. Their only concern is anti zionism.
Just when I thought the ADL couldn’t be anymore useless, here’s REAL Anti-Semitism and they’re not doing anything about it.
I mean, i didn’t have Latina’s calling it nazi and Jews being like “nuh uh” on my 2025 bingo card
They just figure that this time, Jews will be far down enough on the list of “first they came for…” that MAGA will burn itself out before it gets to them.
That’s sadly a viable strategy if you’re cis.
Fuck the ADL
I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren’t pointed the right way
Ask your friends why they’re so familiar with the proper performance of the nazi salute.
It wasnt really all that exact. Generally at rallies one simply raised their right arm straight out with palm angled down and away. He did that. Twice. You could get away with plausible deniablity in another situation on another day. But it’s relevant that he’s doing so today.
It’s quite common in old photos to see people’s hands dipping a bit doing it. Almost making a like cup shape with the hand. Hard to hold your hand aloft like that for long periods of time. Also not uncommon to see hands turned slightly or completely sideways. What doesn’t vary is the intent. It is a salute in the traditional sense. The fact he did it facing the flag is by itself more than damning enough. You don’t wave at flags, you salute them.
Yeah, i stand corrected on that point. Him doing so first doesn’t really change the salute itself.
I’d say 50/50 odds that he tries to claim it was a Bellamy Salute or something.
yes i’m a bit of a troll, but still
Googled it earlier to see, says the heart motion is never involved, that’s the American pledge salute
Nobody does the Bellamy salute anymore and I want you think think very hard about why.
Show me a video of them throwing and holding any kind of salute and not waving. You can skip Hillary.
What’s that mean, skip the one you know I’d find first? Whatever, bud, done here with you.
Point one finger upwards at their face.
the ADL
Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish non-governmental organization based in the USA
… will now be known as the “Advanced Defamations League”
Are their last words going to be “see? You were overreacting.” right before someone pushes a button on their gas chamber?
Or have they already booked their tickets to some recently-confiscated house in the West Bank?
You guys are lucky to have AOC. I’m a non-American that only knows her from memes and screenshots like this but I’m a fan. Especially compared to all the other dead fish.
If I was her I would be leaving the country tonight
Same ADL that says anti-genocide protests are categorically foreign agents funded by Iran and Hamas.
Well, get ready for a whole lot of gaslighting. He’s going to say that’s not what he was doing and his lil army of trolls are going to toe the line.
He says he was doing the Roman salute, but that’s exactly where the nazis got it so…
Im not certain that they still need to gaslight.
Spot on. We all know exactly what we saw. But…
“This is just a distraction from [the class war / taxes / Russia / China / the Koreas / India / … ]!”
“Allegedly, he seemingly did a gesture that resembles a fascist salute. He could’ve been having a heart attack and pointing at a paramedic. You don’t know.”
“It’s a tic. He’s had it since he was a child. I read about it on this random screenshot of a news article from 2018.”
“The Roman Salute, as it is known amongst historians, can be seen in many statues. Here’s a link to one. Things have history, Alex. God. Not everything is nazis.”
“So his views are a little extreme. Most people would argue they’re vile. I certainly don’t agree with them, but people. Please. Civility and decorum must rule. I’d fight for his right to blahblahblah…"
“I’m sorry; we can’t hear you over our Economic Anxiety. Groceries are too expensive and people are homeless! That’s why we elected nazis. Please be more understanding of our extra special circumstances and ignorance.”
“It’s legal to do that in the USofA. Where is it not legal? Germany? Interesting! Gosh their freezepeach laws are a bit restrictive, eh? Controlling how we move our bodies? Sounds like something a nazi would want.”
And on. And if you engage with it, they’ll just turn on some kind of AI bot thingy to continue the “conversation,” taking up even more space online.
So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.
How can anyone deny it now? There’s no way this is coincidence, like he’s just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can’t be explained away.
Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?
They all say he’s such a genius, but he’s unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There’s no way this can be defended. It’s just too obvious.
How can anyone deny it now?
Easy. Bad faith.
I hate this fucking timeline so goddamn much
Wonder what all the people who voted for this are thinking.
“Oh cool, we don’t have to hide it anymore”
“I guess we’re Nazis, too.”
So heil Hitler it is, now?
Granted, I never thought he’d get this far, but I’ve been saying for nearly a decade now that Musk is a lucky scammer who will do anything if it benefits himself.
I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.
Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?
On the bright side, if we’re remarking on history’s propensity for repetition, consider how much the odds have just gone up that Elon’s personal timeline now ends doused in gasoline and set alight in a ditch, like a pasty, doughy little pile of garbage.

Nope.
How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.
Well, the nazis didn’t have their cum-face on while doing it.
Because he made it with the expression of a 16 year old in furious heat.
Dork MAGA continues to live up to the name, and it would be funny if people weren’t losing their lives over it.
To be fair, the SS had drip. Hugo Boss leather trenchcoats… They looked good while being the absolute worst human beings in modern history.
They looked good, they drove great cars, they were just garbage
The nazi salute is pretty cool, not the meaning though.
It’s like nobody is even trying to kill him.
He can’t wear his kid as a human shield at all times.
At least it’s all over the news, seems like literally every news organization is reporting on it, even small ones.
Show everyone what these idiots voted for.
Are fox, newsmaxxx, and oan covering it as much as they should? Or are they mentioning it once at an off time so they can say “see we covered it” and then never mentioning it when people are actually watching?
