    Worth noting that he has not, at any point, denied it was a Nazi salute. Closest thing to a denial he’s done so far is reply, “Thank you,” to an ADL tweet defending him, and he immediately followed that up with a bunch of Nazi puns. Feels like that’s gonna hurt his case.

    He’ll pull the old Pedo Guy defence and say that’s just a friendly wave in South Africa.

    Elon Musk is a Pedo Guy.

    According to the article, Walz said on MSNBC

    “We spent three days debating, or trying to debate that ‘President Musk’ gave a Nazi salute. Of course he did”

    Then one of Musk’s Xitter followers said “I hope Elon sues [Walz] for all he’s worth.” to which Musk replied “I think I will”.

    So, Musk was just talking out his ass, and it’s doubtful he’ll actually file suit.

    This has all got me thinking, how else can Musk be manipulated? Exacerbating cat fights in the administration and surrounding MAGAsphere seems like one of the most promising ways to prevent them from doing too much damage.

      Twice.

      …and then he made holocaust jokes

      …and then he attended a German Nazi rally

      …and then the administration he works with announced a concentration camp for undesirable immigrants

      In any decent country, this would go to court and Musk would be a laughing stock. In America though? That idiot might win.

    Hey Felon Musk, if you don’t want people accusing you of being a Nazi, then don’t do Nazi shit. It’s not a hard concept to understand once you pull your head out of your ass.

    Public figure “freeze peach” absolutist Elon Musk thinks the first amendment is his little bitch.

    “Let’s essentially tell trans people to kill themselves but when I do two full-throated heils at inauguration live, how dare you call them what they are.”

    I hope he free speech’s his way to a bullet.

    I can’t wait for a court to rule that he did in fact do a Nazi salute.

    But then again, the Texas 5th Circuit Court won’t rule that way and we all know it.

      nobody thinks it wasn’t a nazi salute, but some people will argue that it wasn’t as a form of trolling… get you to spend energy arguing pointlessly instead of doing things that change things

    This would actually be incredible if a court legally determined it to be a nazi salute.

      I mean, if someone is calling you a Nazi that seems like a reason to want to do it, even if you are a nazi. Gotta protect your ego and identity and try to squash it from continuing.

      But calling it a nazi salute, is pretty factual. I don’t know if Tim out right called him a nazi or just said it was a nazi salute, but there’s zero grounds for a case if it was just the action.

      And in the single universe in the entire multiverse where Elon truly believes it wasn’t a nazi salute and the intentions were pure, it was still a nazi salute.

    I hope the Nazi does, so he has to describe how elon’s Nazi salute and the Nazis doing the Nazi salute are different.
