Who keeps saying Elon’s Nazi salute was a Nazi salute? Amongst others, a whole lot of fucking Nazi’s.
ETA: Wired has more coverage on how real goddamn fucking nazis are just as happy as pigs in shit right now: Neo-Nazis Love the Nazi-Like Salutes Elon Musk Made at Trump’s Inauguration.
This dude manages to make his declarative nazi salute at the presidential inauguration and the world is watching look like he is a ten year old trying his best to be edgy in school assembly. How is it possible to be a central character in the midst of evil and be so fucking cringe?
The Edgelord of Cringe
Is this a real photo?
Obviously not. I mean, yeah, the original was. But as Elon had it removed from the whole internet and is of course successful with everything he does this has to be a fake that only recreated the original photo…
yes, and it’s one he would prefer didn’t exist.
share it with your friends!
He deleted it from the internet though.
The original Nazis were like that too, though – massive dorks.
At least they dressed sharply thanks to Hugo Boss. The MAGA movement looks like a bunch of tramps - chief of which being Steve Bannon.
You’d think the richest guy in the world could afford a decent fucking suit and a remotely passable haircut.
He can. But it’s what makes him relatable. Look at his supporters. If he dressed nicely, he’d look like the “liberal elites”.
Hugo Boss didnt design them. All Hugo Boss did was use Jewish slave labor in their factory to assemble them.
The sharp dressing was two SS Officers Walter Heck or something and someone else
It’s cuz they’re all fat from mcdonalds
Can we not fucking attack all socially awkward dorks or autists please?
We aren’t, non bigoted dorks are fine. I was part of a weirdo friend group in suburbia as a teenager that had some of the only queer people and black people in town. We were cringe sure, but we came by it honestly and we didn’t go around acting like we were better than everyone else for reasons beyond anyone’s control.
The thing about nazis is that they’re evil and cringe and that’s a rough fucking combination right there
Then call him a bigot, not a dork
Don’t use dork like it’s a pejorative.
If he happens to be a bigoted gay person, would you think it’s OK to call him “gay” as a pejorative?
They’re…not?
It goes a little bit deeper than dorkage.

Fucking bizarre all the way down.
They don’t actually believe in anything, so they can actually be made to believe anything.
This trope was actually played up in a handful of Wolfenstein games, most notably Return to Castle Wolfenstein in 2001.
I feel like this opinion piece from last week really captures his essence
I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers.
For real
If Dana White jumped up there and gave him a wedgie, it wouldn’t have seemed out of place.
