It's crazy how he went from the Henry Ford of our generation to the Henry Ford of our generation.

He forgot he wasn’t on his reddit burner account 💀

don’t let anybody gaslight you about what we all saw

He even did it twice, just like nazis did, one salute towards the crowd and then another one when you turn around and salute a picture of hitler or actual hitler if he was there.

Fun facts about the Roman salute:
1. It doesn't actually exist in historical records (it never was used in Roman times, and was instead depicted in paintings and movies)
2. It's what the nazi salute is based off
3. Was used by Italian fascists in the 1920s.

These people are clearly just using it as an excuse.

the richest man in the world did a hitler salute at the president's inauguration? we're not just cooked, we're beyond burnt and still on fire

[Ravensbro]

He did. There’s no debate. He knew exactly what he did. He did not hesitate one bit.

On MLK day we just had the richest man in the world do THE salute at the inauguration of The President of the US. My mind is having trouble computing that.

I can't believe people are arguing that this is not a Hitler Gruß. So I'll clear some things up. I'm German, we learnt specifically what that shit looks like as to not repeat it. The hand on the heart, then the right arm raised in an open hand. To the crowd, to the Führer.

This is a Hitler Salute.

He was just stimming. Oh and when he replied to and unbanned multiple Nazi twitter accounts he was just being quirky. And when he promoted the AfD in Germany he was just doing free speech. Oh and when his dad said his parents were Nazis that moved to South Africa he was just storytelling…. All just coincidences. Please don’t think logically about this. Everything is okay 😀

Everyone is focusing on Elon doing the salute, and for good reason. But when the camera panned to the crowd and you see these freaks just clapping and smiling at what he just did, I felt a part my blood run cold and then immediately boil. I hate these people so much.

I’ve seen republicans saying things like “the media isn’t showing the full clip he didn’t salute” I saw the full clip. The context of it all. The entire clip of Elon speaking. There is NO WAY that wasn’t a salute of that nature. He did it twice y’all. TWICE.

I'm Jewish and I'm not pro-Israel, but my parents are. I've given them the smallest amount of pushback around a year ago, and they wouldn't budge in the slightest so I thought whatever, they think anything against Israel is anti-semitism so I just never bring it up and hide the fact that I think what Israel is doing is evil. Then I saw this and I thought it was clear as day what Elon was doing and it wouldn't be controversial, so I shared a post by Wired on my Instagram story saying how Neo-Nazis are supporting Elon's salute. Not even 15 minutes go by and I get a long text from my mom about how it was just an awkward pose he did and I should be more careful about the sources I get information from. You seriously can't make this stuff up.

"It was a Roman salute" is such a STUPID defence. Yeah, Mussolini chose it for that reason (situated his fascist state as a resurrected Roman Empire).

[ChrisGrump]

I am German. I studied History to understand our past. He disgusts me deeply. The brave allies that died back then to rid the world of this shite died for nothing.

[Vher_]

Dude really got on stage and did two nazi salutes as blatantly as possible and there's still people jumping through hoops trying to convince themselves he's not a nazi 'cause he's vocally pro-israel, it's pathetic

[TheSoulDivided]

Elon being a fascist isn't all that surprising, but the raw loser energy he exudes shocks me every time I see him

[SebastianTheGreat]

The New York Times running defense for fascists brings me back to when they constantly glazed up Hitler in the 1930s
