He said he didn't mean it as a Nazi salute, is that not enough?
There is so much else to criticize, I don't know why we continue beating this dead horse, I'm not even sure it's in good faith at this point.
I mean unless there is something else he's done to point to being a Nazi that I just haven't seen, barring hyperbole like "he's a trump supporter".
man...I know Nazi salutes, and that wasn't a Nazi salute.
it was two, back-to-back, Nazi salutes.
No. It isn’t. Because not only is it a tremendous lie, it’s also not the only thing he’s done to implicate himself as a Nazi. And the last thing we need right now are apologists downplaying his behavior.
Got an example?
Here you go, I'm sure there are more examples but you'll have to be willing to go looking for them. Keep in mind I just pulled these from a Google search and I'm sure he has people working to suppress things as best he can.
Musk believes in racist ideology like the "great replacement theory" and more fun racist stuff in this article.
More current events and reminders in ho X as a platform promoted and still promotes Nazi crap.
That is bad, though his response doesn't even make sense to me given the context.
I guess the anti-defamation league stands against people who don't want to immigrate certain minority groups, and he's pointing out that they generally tend to dislike Jewish people?
I just don't see where he pulled the ADL from, unless something happened the day of the tweet?
Does a nazi salute twice. Says that the two nazi salutes we all saw him make on video were not nazi salutes. That's called gaslighting.
And as far as evidence he's a fascist, it's on display every day. Like when he gave his full support to Germany's AfD party. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/10/nx-s1-5252473/elon-musk-germany-election-afd-candidate-alice-weidel
You're an idiot who should suck on a lead pipe and encase your mouth and hands in epoxy resin so nobody is ever subject to hearing your thoughts again
But i don't mean that as an insult, so don't you dare be offended by it
If I punch you in the face, say you're a stupid bitch, then tell you I didn't mean it, wouldn't that be enough?
A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute. It isn't something you can accidentally do.
Did I miss Elmo claiming it wasn't a Nazi salute? I have seen lots of articles of other people claiming it wasn't, but nothing from him.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk_salute_controversy
Elon Musk responded to criticism of his alleged salute on January 21 on his X account, including calling all news outlets criticizing him biased. He wrote that "The legacy media is pure propaganda", that "they need better dirty tricks", and that "the 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired"
Hey, so, can you highlight the part where he Denys that it was a Nazi salute? I must be blind because none of those words mean “that wasn’t a Nazi salute” or anything even close.
This is like when my kid would get in trouble, and instead of owning up to it he would get mad at anyone saying he did the thing he did.
Calling your accusers propaganda isn’t denying it. He hasn’t actually said it isn’t a nazi salute.
Ahhhh! Right. He said it wasn’t a salute! So, pay no attention to the walk, or the quack….
“It’s definitely not a duck!”, says the apologist!
