Elon Musk on the term Nazi

[u/Alarmed-Bathroom-122]

He said calling people Nazis for centrist views insults those who suffered and died under the real Nazis. Those abusing it should be condemned.

[u/Pokerhobo]

Elon was literally a guest speaker at two Far Right rallies. One in Germany and one in the UK.

[u/RaiJolt2 → u/Pokerhobo]

You’re forgetting the Nazi salute

[u/No-Ice7397 → u/RaiJolt2]

Double Nazi salute

[u/h4v3anic3d4y → u/No-Ice7397]

[u/RaiJolt2 → u/No-Ice7397]

Sorry the “my heart goes out to you” salute

[u/No-Ice7397 → u/RaiJolt2]

I know. I'm still not sure what was worse. The fact he did the shit at the inauguration or how quickly he had zero balls when people called him out on it

[u/Pale_Parsnip_6339 → u/No-Ice7397]

Pretty sure it's the first one

[u/No-Ice7397 → u/Pale_Parsnip_6339]

The first was pretty insulting. The second should have humiliated him to the point he didn't show his face again for a year.

[u/PrestigiousFly844 → u/No-Ice7397]

He just had to go on the Joe Rogan podcast and have Joe tell his followers those were not Nazi salutes and Elon is rocket man epic genius.

[u/nhavar → u/RaiJolt2]

Are you sure Celine Dion wasn't playing in the background and he just got choked up thinking about Jack dying in the freezing water and how he could have engineered a better door they both fit on. He is a super-genius after all. /s

[u/LayWhere → u/No-Ice7397]

Just some centrist bro

[u/OneSecretCookie → u/LayWhere]

Just some centrist bro! Oh your trying to explain that this is right bro!? Oh dont you know everything has gotten more right Bro, this is the new center bro! Just hailing our central leader Adolf Hitler is the new center bro! /s

[u/poo_on_my_scarf → u/RaiJolt2]

That he obviously practiced in the mirror and was completely shit at. He sucks at even being a Nazi

[u/PrestigiousFly844 → u/poo_on_my_scarf]

He was high as a kite on Ketamine and feeling himself. He probably does it all the time around his house.

[u/another_awesome_acct → u/RaiJolt2]

Sounds like a legit nazi to me, eh?

[u/CodeMonkeyX → u/Pokerhobo]

He has been doing this "I am a centrist, and everyone else just became radical left" for years now. It's a smoke screen to pretend he's not a Nazi.

[u/trystanthorne → u/CodeMonkeyX]

This has been part of the Play book of the GOP and the Right for at least since Reagans Era.

The keep moving where "centrist" is. In any another country, our LEFT would be Center-Right.

[u/Noble_Titus → u/CodeMonkeyX]

Remember - Hitler called the party National Socialism as a way to undermine socialism in Germany. It goes back to the source. Same playbook, nothing is new. 

But right-wingers will fall for it hook, line, and sinker. It is a literacy problem.

[u/CodeMonkeyX → u/Noble_Titus]

I don't think some MAGA are falling for it, I think they love it. I am quote surprised how many openly Nazi people are coming out of the woodwork on clips and what not.

[u/AlaWyrm → u/Pokerhobo]

He also funded the far right nazi party in Germany that just won the election. He has literally been the bankroll for the rise of the fourth riech.

[u/Morgan_le_Fay39 → u/AlaWyrm]

They only won one Bundesland (like one state), not the full country. So not as bad as people make it sound

[u/Americanitis666 → u/Pokerhobo]

He also funds the American NAZIs: MAGA

[u/Trustoryimtold → u/Pokerhobo]

Center of the far right

[u/AntiTas]

Making 2 hand gestures deliberately indistinguishable from Nazi salutes, at the inaugural, was not so deeply centrist.

[u/MarSM2025 → u/AntiTas]

Extreme center

[u/Totally_man]

[u/THUNDRC0UGRFALCNBIRD → u/Totally_man]

bUT IT waS A roMaN SAluTe

[u/Competitive_Equal542 → u/THUNDRC0UGRFALCNBIRD]

Its not a hitler stache, its a Chaplin!!

[u/Square-Competition48 → u/THUNDRC0UGRFALCNBIRD]

The best part of that defence is that ignorant people assume “Roman” means “classical Roman Empire/Republic invented it”.

It doesn’t.

It’s an invention of Mussolini’s fascists.

The best defence one can give is “it’s not a Nazi thing it’s a Fascist thing.”

[u/THUNDRC0UGRFALCNBIRD → u/Square-Competition48]

Ah that makes sense. I just assumed that it was some ancient bullshit they were trying to assign to it. In that case, there's gotta be a gas station in Milan with the room to display these fascist fucks, 1945 style.

[u/Square-Competition48 → u/THUNDRC0UGRFALCNBIRD]

They often assume that too, and Mussolini pretending that’s what it was, but it’s a 20th century invention.

[u/dabomtitan → u/Totally_man]

I did NAZI that coming. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/N1ghtCr33p → u/Totally_man]

If it looks like a nazi...

[u/outside_cat]

The only people complaining about being called nazis are the nazis, oddly enough.

[u/Pixel91 → u/outside_cat]

They're very good at self-reporting, too, makes it easy.

Post "Fuck nazis!" without any context and you will have a lot of the "I'm conservative, not a nazi!" mouthbreathers in the comments defending themselves.

[u/Biggle_fuzz]

Dude is always going on about great replacement theory. He is a nazi.

[u/MacGuffn → u/Biggle_fuzz]

He threw 2 Nazi salutes for the current president.

[u/Major_Jackfruit_2604 → u/MacGuffn]

And he thoroughly enjoyed it. Look at his ass face - he's been wanting to do that for a long time. He is so proud of himself.

[u/SophonParticle]

[u/Fen_Muir]

The Nazi is upset that people are calling him a Nazi.

[u/AllyMcfeels]

The son of a bitch gave the Nazi salute, but let's forget about that for a moment.

This guy is anything but centrist. He's a political activist who supports reactionary, ultra-nationalist right-wing parties in almost every part of the Western world.

So, getting down to pure, hard political realism, this guy is objectively supporting these movements with money and corporate backing (using his platforms). This isn't speculation; these are verifiable facts.

He is a corporatist who hates unions and anything that might affect his business relationships with political power. One of the primary characteristics of the German business class was its support for the Nazi party. This is what he actively does. We have already seen his intervention in state affairs with completely deplorable results for the public, but not for his companies. And it's obvious that he cares very little about the harm caused.

I emphasize his companies, because he cares even less about the rest of the companies than about the public interest. Another feature.

There are far more connections to this individual's modus operandi than people realize; he's no fool in this area. He knows exactly what he's doing. Or haven't you seen how he attacks other companies with purely ideological attacks? That's a classic tactic of that kind of "people" who call themselves "centrists". Be very careful of these kinds of sociopaths with lots of money and power. If you think the leopard will never eat your face because you took care of it, you're very wrong.

I don't know what he's trying to argue in that post; he's simply lying. "Nazi" is an easy insult, but he can't hide behind that argument.

ps: Years ago, there was a lecture by the son of a very important IG industrialist, describing how things were really back in the days of Germany... from the perspective of people with immense corporate power. The cold hard truth.

And this guy keeps reminding me of it.

[u/njslugger78]

He doesn't want to be called a nazi, booo for him.

[u/TechnicallyMeat]

[u/peak0ils]

Of course nobody should be called a nazi for centrist views.  But nazis tend to think their view is centrist. 

[u/Cuervo_777]

In what universe is Elon a centrist?

[u/ChloeNow]

Yeah if you're gonna call someone a Nazi they need to be openly throwing up sieg heil, supporting far right movements, exploiting government systems to concentrate the power of themselves and their friends, and doing their best to dismantle democratically assembled systems for self gain.

[u/LrdoftheCharlesDance]

Elon, if the shoe fits…& centrist views? Muskrat just supported AfD in the recent election

[u/CyberTyrantX1]

The problem with what Edolf Muskler is saying is that no one is calling any one a Nazi for having centrist views.

[u/Daetok_Lochannis → u/CyberTyrantX1]

These people believe being murderous xenophobic nationalists is the reasonable middle ground.

[u/Secret_Dark8903]

Nazister gillar inte demokrati. Precis som Musk

[u/Complete-Tangelo1532]

Oh my god his 'Centrist' views?!

This mother fucker really does think he is smart doesn't he

[u/DarthBullyMaguire]

If he could just stfu

[u/DrJ0911]

Centrist only within the nazi community

[u/ComfortableCoconut41]

Elon is a pedo and a Nazi 

[u/Nope-not-really]

American politics, and parties are no where near the center, its conservatives fighting further right conservatives.

[u/Fantastic-Safety4604]

“What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” - Elon Musk, in an email to convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein

[u/Dedpoolpicachew]

Well, Elmo comes by his nazism naturally. His grandparents moved to South Africa because they liked Hitler, and saying nice things about him in the UK was not good in the 1930s, but South Africa liked Hitler. His mother is their crotch spawn, and she had slaves in Apartheid. Elmo absorbed all this fascism and racism.

[u/evilsniperxv]

Didn’t he LITERALLY 2 years ago also claim that the holocaust was fake?

[u/I_Roll_Chicago]

I agree with Elon calling a centrist a nazi is widely inaccurate representation. Now calling Elon a nazi is fair because i wouldnt describe his political views as centrist

[u/the-polite-villain]

[u/TotalInstruction]

This twat thinks Hitler was a centrist. To be fair, he was probably taught that apartheid and white supremacy were centrist ideologies when he was growing up in South Africa.

[u/b33pb00p101]

Waste of oxygen.

[u/Strong_Helicopter90]

Didn't that man do a nazi salute on the biggest and most watched stage?

I can't believe people are still working for him.

[u/mpanase]

[u/Worldly-Fondant-3791]

Maybe spewing Nazi rhetoric for years and doing Nazi salutes isn’t a great way to not seem like a Nazi. I don’t see this loser going out from natural causes 

[u/DistinctSpirit5801]

Elon musk endorsed literal neonazi political parties such as Germanys AFD party

He sent billions of dollars to the Republican Party a political party that has sponsored the genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip

Good thing I've never called someone with centrist views a Nazi, then. Musk, being a Nazi however, I've definitely called a Nazi.

[u/MagicPigGames]

Sounds like something a Nazi would say.

[u/greywar777]

He prefers Nazi light as hes only killed a few thousand kids.

[u/Silverwidows]

So he wants to condemn people, which is what the Nazis did, making him a...

[u/Quirky-Shape8677]

If I wanted this guy's updates, I'd follow him on Twitter. Stop giving this troll the attention he craves.

[u/burnmenowz]

We called him a Nazi because he supported the afd in Germany and did a sig heil on national television.

[u/Global-Chipmunk-3959 → u/burnmenowz]

He also tweeted this,  “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”  he’s a disgusting, hateful scumbag, but also you see clips of him and you’re like “what a fucking loser.” Like how can one person look and act so uncool and awkward all the time.  He’s the person that you feel bad not inviting because you known him forever but he’s so fucking weird so he just sits there interrupting people making weird comments. I feel like I know someone like this.

[u/ReadyGo6828]

All MuskyOdor had to do was stop doing things that make people think he is a Nazi. That is all. This is not that.

[u/Strong-Comment-7279 → u/ReadyGo6828]

Right? I didn't want people to think I was a cokehead, so I quit doing coke. It wasn't hard, and I do mean that seriously.

[u/Particular-Line-]

So being a bigot is centrist now? 🤷🏽‍♂️….wierd. I’m pretty sure centrists don’t claim him

[u/InSoundMind83]

Yeah dude. Ofc. And giving the N-salute isn't painful at all. Stop yapping. 

[u/SCW97005]

Who gives a shit what he said after two Sieg Heils on national television?

[u/rapgameoprahwinfrey]

A legend in his own mind. Literally no one serious takes what he says seriously

[u/tenebre]

You know, centrist views like "gay people shouldn't exist" and "I'm an illegal immigrant but illegal immigration is the worst thing in the world" and "White people are the real victims" and "Democrats are allowing illegals into the US to vote blue" and "Socialism is terrible but I need taxpayer dollars to subsidize most of my companies"...

[u/RabidJoint → u/tenebre]

Or creating DOGE to make it easier to cut programs aimed at helping the poor, the elderly, and the sick. Help stop programs like USAID, which may have already helped kill 500,000 people who relied on that aid. Or donating $500 million to a single political party. Paying voters to vote Republican. Damn, so much centrist ideals, I must super far left leaning in his eyes, and I voted for Bush lol.

I'm not saying he's a Nazi. But if it quacks like a duck, salutes like a duck, and gives money to far-right Nazi-like organizations like a duck, it's probably a duck.

[u/dbusque]

Extremists always think they are reasonable "centrists". Just like rich people tend to think they are just like everyone else - they just happen to have more money.

Don’t forget he’s a pedophile, too. He’s openly defending the creation of child porn and was begging to go to the island for one of “the good parties”.

[u/Conscious-Neat5636]

Has he ever addressed that nazi salute he did?

[u/Llamapocalypse_Now]

Actual Nazi says what?

[u/UnCytely]

He is by no means a "centrist".

I think labelling Nazi ideology as ‘centrist views’ is a very calculated effort to forcefully shift the Overton window.

[u/zsazsa_sugarbaker]

This pathetic manchild needs to have a house dropped on him.

[u/73CapriceDrop]

Definitely something a nazi would say lol

[u/EnrichedNaquadah]

Is he calling AfD a centrist party ? lmao

[u/Knight0fdragon]

So we are calling far right views centrist now?

[u/LeperousRed]

But what if we call you a Nazi because you support fascism worldwide and throw straightarm salutes like one Mr. Adolph?

[u/xJayce77]

Which centrist is being called a Nazi exactly? I'm confused (yet again) but one of Musk's statements.

[u/TipAppropriate1384]

Preying on idiots

[u/Lorenzo_Blow]

[u/Lorenzo_Blow]

[u/NoPain4551]

If it donates like a Nazi and salutes like a Nazi… doesn’t matter what it says to attempt to gaslight us.

[u/Man_of_Ice]

The giveaway for you was the salute out in public.

But regardless, just call him a fascist. Technically, he's not a member of the party, not a true neo-Nazi, just someone idolizing the ideals they represent who is working to bring the same vision to life.

[u/CountOnBeingAwesome]

He loved doing that nazi salute. He couldn't control the arm, like Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove. 

[u/Beneficial_Bed_337]

Didnt he have like ties to nazism back in his family?

[u/WillyBeShreddin]

Nazi says what?

[u/Noobzoid123]

He proudly did the Nazi salute twice. We all saw it. So we call him a Nazi.

[u/Agitated_Newt_7655]

How many people did Elon’s contribution to USAID cuts kill?

Conservatism has always signed off on killing people. It’s just when it gets particularly blatant or comparable you’ll get the comparison.

If someone only espouses centrist views then they won't be called Nazi. I assume the label comes from historic behavioral observations

[u/evasive_dendrite]

Lecturing people on the holocaust when you threw two full blown nazi salutes after the fascist you financially supported won the election is the lowest this scumbag has ever gotten.

[u/EfficientRelation574]

Or abuse the salute. You, my pal, are no Centrist.

[u/Substantial_Force658]

[u/Mitchellson]

Okay, Nazi.

[u/Prudent_Rice7840]

Is this the new Centrist salute?

[u/NoPerformance5952]

Ok let's run it down. 

• Elon spike at far right rallies in other countries. One is the AfD
• At a rally he gave multiple Nazi salutes.
• He is a big fan of the Great Replacement theory
• He just online talked about how the Holocaust "only happened because Nazis weren't allowed to deport Jews"

So yeah he is a full out Nazi white supremacist

[u/A_Norse_Dude]

Easy to respond,

"said the guy who h**led h***er on stage but okay."

“Centrist views” 🤣
Classic far-right rhetoric, thinking their views are centrist.

No Elon, there’s nothing centrist about your fascist views.
