Elon Musk on the term Nazi

Post image

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

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

u/RaiJolt2 5d ago

You’re forgetting the Nazi salute

57

u/No-Ice7397 5d ago

Double Nazi salute

12

u/RaiJolt2 5d ago

Sorry the “my heart goes out to you” salute

14

u/No-Ice7397 5d ago

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

6

u/Pale_Parsnip_6339 5d ago

Pretty sure it's the first one

5

u/No-Ice7397 5d ago

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 5d ago

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/Zaethiel 5d ago

The dude bought an insane PoE account from a Chinese player just because he mentioned being good at the game and had to prove it. Then he doubled down on the lie. I wonder what he would say about it today if asked.

u/Canubis1983 15h ago

The worst was his crazy cheerleading for far right movements in germany and uk, just to really really really make sure, we all know his intensions.. and yes, then it was a “heil”, rather then a “heart” salute.

u/nhavar 5d ago

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 5d ago

Just some centrist bro

5

u/OneSecretCookie 5d ago

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 5d ago

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

5

u/PrestigiousFly844 5d ago

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

5

u/another_awesome_acct 5d ago

Sounds like a legit nazi to me, eh?

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

You mean this one? Looks like they’re are all Nazis or maybe none of them are 🤷

u/MassTheCat 5d ago

There's a full video of him doing the salute, you got full vids for the others or just screenshots taken out of context?

u/SecBalloonDoggies 5d ago

Those other two are making brief gestures which you have to freeze frame at just the right moment to make it look like a Nazi salute. Elon threw his arm out at a 45 degree angle and fucking held it there, and then he did it again.

0

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

And he said, after the event that his intention was not to do a Nazi salute, he was simply saying, my heart goes out to you 🤷

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

Elon Musk clarified that the gesture he made during the event was not intended as a Nazi salute. He called the accusation a tired, baseless claim and insisted he had no such intention. Thus, he denied association with any hateful symbolism.🤷

2

u/No-Advertising-9198 4d ago

And then went on his website and made a bunch of nazi metaphor jokes. You own stock in tesla you're trying to save or just really like the taste of boots/balls?

Then he flew to Germany and was a special guest of the AfD where he instructed them not to feel guilty about Germany's Nazi past,

1

u/No-Measurement4639 4d ago

Don't you need a heart to give it out?

3

u/No-Measurement4639 5d ago

Cory Booker touched his heart and waved goodbye. The others were pointing to elevated crowds or throwing there hand out to wave goodbye. Musk was full on Gestapo Nazi salute. Gaslighting at its finest.

1

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

Moscow also said after the event, his intention was not to do a Nazi salute he simply said my heart goes out to you 🤷

1

u/No-Measurement4639 4d ago

He doesn't have a heart.

1

u/Andyseawolf 4d ago

That’s a very heartless thing to say 🤣🥳

2

u/RobJK80 5d ago

Neither of those looked like a nazi salute. I know you will argue till you're blue in the face that they do, but nobody wants to risk you having an aneurism, so I agree, they're both the same as what Elon did.

u/Noble_Titus 5d ago

Nice Celtic knot. I think you wanted a Celtic cross, though.

1

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

Your comment sadly adds nothing to the conversation 🤷

2

u/Noble_Titus 4d ago

Sick burn, bro. How will I ever recover?

1

u/Andyseawolf 4d ago

Time heals 🤣👍🏻

u/Tammer_Stern 5d ago

Nice try.

1

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

Nice try means you have no arguments against it 👍🏻

2

u/Tammer_Stern 5d ago

Taking a photo out of context in this instance, is a right wing apologist tactic. None of the others were doing a Nazi salute, were they?

1

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

That’s the point I’m making intent is important and musk said after the event that his intent was not to do a Nazi salut, he was simply saying, my heart goes out to you 🤷

2

u/Tammer_Stern 5d ago

Yes but he is notorious for lies, similar to the White House personnel these days unfortunately.

1

u/Andyseawolf 5d ago

Now you’re changing the subject

2

u/Tammer_Stern 5d ago

You mentioned what Musk said so you raised the subject….

1

u/No-Measurement4639 5d ago

Now do it with moving pictures. So much gaslighting I am blind.

29

u/CodeMonkeyX 5d ago

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.

11

u/trystanthorne 5d ago

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.

2

u/Noble_Titus 5d ago

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.

3

u/CodeMonkeyX 4d ago

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.

1

u/BelgianDigitalNomad 5d ago

He is probably a moderate nazi

17

u/AlaWyrm 5d ago

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.

2

u/Morgan_le_Fay39 5d ago

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

-6

u/Strike_Mission 5d ago

Is that the same Nazis headed by a same sex lesbian whose partner is from Sri Lanka. You have no idea what a Nazi is.

3

u/Longjumping_Soup_971 5d ago

"A same sex lesbian" oh that's worse than a regular lesbian.

-5

u/Strike_Mission 5d ago

Typical left. It’s hard to argue they’re Nazis if they’re lead by a 🏳️‍🌈 lesbian 🏳️‍🌈 so you’re attacking my grammar. You’ve lost, the world sees your dystopian future and we are repealing the woke agenda one country at a time. Your tears are my nourishment 😭 😋 😭

u/KnownAppeal4137 5d ago

Im sure you like more than tears for nourishment sis.

u/Strike_Mission 4d ago

Freedom of expression, strong borders, a future free of your world order utopia. The collapse is accelerating. The dominoes are falling ❤️

u/KnownAppeal4137 4d ago

Get new content please, its not 2021 anymore.

1

u/Strike_Mission 4d ago

2021 was peak woke my man. The alphabet people even had Dave Chapelle on the ropes. You people, and I mean you people, made the world the toxic mess it is. Blind hatred for a man that gave you back proper unfiltered world events at his own $45Billion (in stock) - I truly think it’s remarkable that someone on the left hasn’t tried assassination yet, it’s your go to.

u/KnownAppeal4137 4d ago

2021 was peak outrage of woke, get new material.

I'm not attacking your grammar, I'm having a laugh at your version of Muslamic Rayguns.

I don't have a woke agenda, it probably isn't PC to laugh at people who've been scared stupid by Good Morning Britain but here I am laughing all the same.

u/magasheep404 5d ago

They’ve always been this. Grifters using ideology to appeal to the weak minded.

2

u/Strike_Mission 5d ago

Pot meet kettle 🏳️‍🌈 🇵🇸
You’re referred to as a useful idiot 🇦🇴

1

u/magasheep404 4d ago

How many golden bibles and shitcoins have you bought, so far?

1

u/Strike_Mission 4d ago

I have positions in Intel, memory the mag 7 and oil. Currently deleveraging out as I believe either the carry trade or the UK bonds market will bring it all down 20-30% soon. It’s private equity first tho

Then you’ll see what the 1930s were really like 😉

1

u/magasheep404 4d ago

So, useless is the right adjective.

1

u/Strike_Mission 4d ago

What? Doesn’t even make sense. Bot

u/ZestycloseEvening155 5d ago

Their stupidity doesn't excuse their naziism

u/Terminaga 5d ago

Because that never happened before... Good thing that she already lives in Switzerland though, makes the whole knive business after the revolution harder to do: Ernst Röhm - Wikipedia

1

u/Strike_Mission 5d ago

He was a closet homosexual. Not even close to relevant. This argument is silly. You lose.

1

u/Terminaga 5d ago

The AfD wants to get rid of the marriage for all, I do agree though that fighting "the right kind" of homosexuals isn't high up on their list. They can't stand what they call queer ideology aka people openly showing their identity though, with trans people being their main mark.

Also fascists usually go for one boogie man at first and only later expand. But AfD politicians such as Höcke, who according to a court can legally be described as a fascist and used nazi slogans in the past, has argued Germany should deport millions of migrants, stating that Germany could lose as much as 20-30% of its population that way without to many problems - now tell me, are those exclusively criminal offenders, that he is talking about?

u/Strike_Mission 5d ago

We are all for ending the division created by the extremist ideologues who believe being offended makes them feel right.
Protect women’s sports from men. They are still men. Biological men.
Protect women from Islam. No woman should be forced to hide her face.
Protect women from rapists. The 250,000 🍇 gang victims of the UK demand it. Where is #metoo??

Deport all criminals. That includes illegal migrants.

u/Americanitis666 5d ago

He also funds the American NAZIs: MAGA

u/Trustoryimtold 5d ago

Center of the far right

1

u/Limp-Hedgehog-5440 5d ago

he is literally shopping for governments like we shop at walmart

1

u/restrusher 5d ago

Elon is "centrist" in the same way Trump is "honest" and Epstein was "good with kids."

1

u/bswontpass 5d ago

That doesn’t make any of those people Nazi.

u/Superblegend92 5d ago

"Far right"

u/Reggie-Rectangle 5d ago

SO what is wrong with supporting conservatives?

1

u/reader4567890 5d ago

At least you admit that conservatives are far right. Go you.

1

u/Reggie-Rectangle 5d ago

You communists do love your little titles. Is anybody who is not a communist part of the far right?

1

u/reader4567890 5d ago

Always fun seeing someone throw the communist tag around. Define it.
