Tried to pass it off as a Roman Salute, which Mussolini resurrected in the 1920s, which was modified by Hitler in the late 1920s....

I wonder if Elon is any relation to Eugene Terre'blanche....
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Who would have thought an antisemitic billionaire from a family of nazi sympathisers who gleefully emigrated to apartheid South Africa would ever conduct themselves like this?

Elon, is just an awkward person trying to look cool and enthusiastic.
Like Hitler he has shared the cover of Time magazine as it's person of the year.

Liberals briefly Pause chanting 'death to Israel' to call Elon Musk a Nazi

U.S. — With the uproar over President Donald Trump returning to the White House with a flurry of sweeping actions, the nation's liberals took a brief pause in their standard daily routine of chanting "Death to Israel" so they could call Elon Musk a Nazi.

Outrage spread across the country as liberals expressed shock and disgust after Musk motioned with his hands while saying his heart went out to everyone at Trump's inauguration rally. The egregious act caused the liberals to call a temporary halt to their quest to see Israel destroyed.

"Elon Musk is a total Nazi!" Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib shouted to the media. "I've never seen such a blatant display of antisemitism from a prominent figure in the United States. It's sickening and has no place in this country. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a 'The Jews Must Be Annihilated' rally I'm scheduled to speak at this afternoon. But Elon Musk is a Nazi!"

Fellow Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seconded the sentiment. "Musk is who we thought he was," she said in a video posted on TikTok. "I was just speaking to all of my friends at a ‘Death to Israel' march, and they thought the same thing. I haven't been this upset about an incident since Israel started bombing Hamas terrorist hideouts like the dirty Jews they are. It would serve them right to be exterminated. But Elon Musk? Antisemitism cannot be tolerated."

At publishing time, congressional Democrats said they were calling for an investigation into reports that Elon Musk was secretly a Jew and therefore part of a global conspiracy to take over the world.

Trump pulled out of Paris accord last time.

And noone holds any of the countries to account anyway. But it makes a few people say look, we're trying to save the planet :lol:

The last sentence is blatantly obvious. Of course Elon wants to take over the world, and the moon and Mars etc :lol:

Was it really a Nazi salute though? I watched it thought it was a poor attempt at trying to show passion and love towards his supporters.. the old hand on the heart then point / wave / acknowledge people.. but was cringe either way and looked average.


I'm with you

It was either "from heart to the stars" or an intergalatic salute (the guy has said he wants to go to Mars): I'm betting the latter

The Nazi salute didn't come from the heart. Its nothing like a Sieg Heil!

Trump & Elon haters are going to hate and call out anything that's even close

The goal posts continue to move on the hour for Trump/musks supporters regarding this.
- first it was a roman salute. Which by definition is a facist salute
- He has autism, so doesn't understand social cues.
- Haven't heard the olympic one yet :lol:


Look what he did two years ago. Apologies won't let me upload the video. So he Know's.

Interesting take to put the controversy down to the folks criticising Elon.

I suppose one has to take Musk's denial (I assume there has been one) at face value. But gee that footage looks bad.

One has to wonder whether he knew what he was doing - has he actually called them out, & put a reputational noose around their neck, by doing it?

"Pardons" have some conditions.

Despite Biden saying the pardons were intended to shield his family from politically motivated attacks and should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment of any wrongdoing, that may not be the case: See: Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915)

Here's a summary: https://coyoteblog.com/coyote_blog/2025 ... eople.html

Also; he has now opened the door for Trump to do the same - including himself.
Unprecedented but so what? It's legal under the Constitution and, no doubt, Trump will do it
