Elon Musk, the head of Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, said “it’s an outrageous thing to claim that I’m a Nazi” in a clip from an interview with Fox News that was released Friday, slamming how he’s been covered by the media. He also said that if his detractors could “press a button” and kill him, they would, but he is “difficult to kill.”
At Trump’s post-inauguration rally, Musk gave a straight-arm salute that many, including his estranged daughter, interpreted to be a Sieg Heil. Since he bought Twitter, now social platform X, he has restored white supremacist accounts that were previously banned. In March, as he was carrying out widespread firings of federal workers, he shared a post from an X account that said that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Mao Zedong didn’t cause the deaths of millions of people. Instead, public workers did. After criticism, he removed the post.
Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, Musk spoke virtually at a campaign event for a far-right German political party, Alternative für Deutschland. He said that Germans should not lose their culture to “multiculturalism.”
This you?
twice…
while doing that wierd bottom lip sucking thing.
And for one of them he turned around and did it towards orangeboi.
But the vast majority of the media was like “huh what a weird gesture I wonder what it means” or “he’s ‘sending his heart out to his fans’” or other similar idiotic sanewashings
his supporters or going to say, its a roman salute.
I remember fox saying the “sending his heart out” shit. it’s like wow same day propaganda is impressive guys but come on.
In my life, I’ve had to give speeches in front of a crowd, but no matter how well the speech went, I never did a Nazi salute. I’ve seen many many more speeches, and again, even the ones that went very well didn’t end with Nazi salutes.
Literally the only people who do Nazi salutes in public are Nazis and actors portraying Nazis. Hopefully, Musk will spend the rest of his life with this albatross around his neck. That he exposed himself as a Nazi.
