He thought it was opposites day
Opposites year.
Well that would involve empathy, and as you know, it is a flaw and a weakness...
God I fucking hate Elon.
He has not.
Well to help convince us you could denounce all Nazis and racial hatred, especially on your social platform.
We’re still waiting.
That's the most telling bit about his state of mind that day.
If you did a gesture on national TV that lots of people misinterpret as a nazi salute, and you didn't mean to do a nazi salute, what would you do? What would any person with a public platform in that situation immediately do?
shut the fuck up, you nazi piece of shit
It's because you did the nazi salute. Do you remember that you did the nazi salute when the faschist government took over?
Nhaaa.... Just because you do the nazi salute position yourself in a place of authority inside our current fascist government and support it's politics and agendas even make Buddy buddy with its leader doesn't necessarily make you a fascist yourself... Right?
Not necessarily, maybe he is trying to hint that he is a kind of mole inside man that wants to secretly save some of the immigrants and go down in history as a hero? Sigh.. But then why the chainsaw... Unless? Yeah. That's my new cope
Elon's list?
Ewww sounds gross when you say it like that.
I don't think there's a clean way of saying that name much like several other names that was killed by a guy that was fascist.
Play Nazi games win Nazi prizes.
Shut up nazi
It's because he prefers NaXi
Well to be fair, he's certainly obNaXious
I spit out my drink
I have been searching for weeks for the right name.
Here it is:
Naxis!
Thank you friend!!!!!
I came up with it on the fly, but I'm sure someone on the Internet beat me to it. It's been too long for that to have been an original thought.
It’s good I’m replacing magazi with naxi moving forward
Hear me out, he is preparing ground for media reform.
He's right, he doesn't belong to the Nazi party. He sure is a white nationalist though, with some very authoritarian views on what a country should be.
He's right. It is. It is outrageous to say the obvious truth about billionaires and corporations. Has been for many years now. A lot of people went bankrupt due to fines or to jail for precisely this.
Yes Elon! My heart goes out to you...
/s to make sure... I am mocking this imbecile and his statement.
ORLY?
I mean that's certainly outrageous
But it also certainly tells me he's a nazi
-
He never apologized for this or the confusion
-
He’s mad, because he’s not getting credit for being worse than the Nazis
Not only did he not apologize, he doubled down with a string of extremely bad Nazi puns.
IIRC, even the ADL criticized it, which is hilarious, because it was RIGHT after they burned a ton of what credibility they had left to defend him.

Ignoring the fact that he did what was probably the most vigorous Nazi salute in existence...
- He agreed with a post on Twitter that promoted the antisemetic conspiracy theory that Jewish people "push hatred" against white people
- He doubled down on the great replacement conspiracy theory
- He supports the AfD party which has not-so-subtle Nazi themes in official posters
- He actively created a safe space for Neo Nazis on his platform
- He threatened to sue researchers documenting the rise in hateful tweets
- After the inauguration "gesture", instead of apologizing he made Nazi-related puns
- He shared a post absolving Hitler of murdering millions of people
It's not just not outrageous to call him a Nazi, it's a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to conclude especially when you consider his other behaviour and the kinds of things he supports
Supporting the AfD party, an openly neo-nazi party, and appearing in their events, days after the "roman salute" removed any kind of ambiguity that could exist. He's a nazi, period. And the only good nazis are dead nazis.

Let's look on the bright side. He is still reluctant to publicly acknowledge it, which means that even he knows it is a shameful thing to be. I would be more afraid if he said "Hell yeah, I am, what are you gonna do about it? Do you own a President like I do?"

Seigheiling nazi piece of shit
If it walks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi, then it's a fucking Nazi.

- re-instates white supremacists accounts on Twitter while also banning journalists accounts (so its clearly not a "free speech" excuse of for the re-instatements
- backs the aFD whose party leader has been fined multiple times for using Nazi slogans
- Musk personally performs two back-to-back Nazi salutes from a podium on national television in front of huge live audience
For someone claiming to not be a Nazi he sure does Nazi things.

Elon is a Cowardly Nazi Billionaire, which is somehow astronomically more pathetic than being just a Nazi, which is already one of the most pathetic things you can be...
If not Nazi, why Sieg Heil-shaped? 🙄
On a completely unrelated topic, just look at Hitler sending his heart out to his people, how heartwarming.

straight-arm salute
It's called a nazi salute. Don't spread doubt on what it was. He did it twice in close succession. The only other reason for holding your arm up like that is when you explain how high Blondie, Hitler's dog, could jump.
'Nazi' isn't a preferable pronounce, it's what you're called when you act like a nazi, talk like a nazi and salute like a fucking nazi.
Elon Musk's grandfather was critical of the Nazis for not being anti-semitic enough.
