For context, it’s a very clear Nazi Salute — and Musk did it more than once. The NYT is implying doubt because they’re afraid of losing access if they speak the truth and because some people who are financially dependent on Musk are denying what it was in public.
There’s no speculation, the Nazi who defended Nazis in Europe have a Nazi salute in a massive Nazi venue.
What’s there to speculate about? They should start speculating their blindness.
There’s so speculation needed, unless you are a fucking retard; he did a Nazi salute. Twice. Fuck him.
Confirmed. You have to be a literal retard to think it was anything else other than a blatant sieg heil.
He did it exactly like Nazis did it too.
Start at chest and then fully extend. Once to the crowd. Then turn around and once to the Fuhrer/flag.
The 4 year myth needs to be dispelled. There is no magical reset button every 4 years. Damage done can’t be magically erased at the end of a 4 year period.
We’re entering a period of American decline that’s going to last a lot longer than 4 years. Buckle up. As shitty as the 2000s have been for a lot of us, we’re going to look back at the early 2000s as a golden age.

Whoa I’m saving this one. Imgur could accidentally get a glitch that deletes these videos for no reason whatsoever. You never know!
Hitler looked better at doing it.
Elon Musk was incredibly uncoordinated in his display.
To be fair, he is literally not good at anything.
Well he has his hand under a different angle, that MUST make all the difference!
Also, he’s biting his lip. You need the Serious Face to make the proper salute.
This New York Times? archive.org/…/the-new-york-times-1922-11-05-musso…
Nah they wouldn’t enable fascism (again)
Fuck this headline.
Did Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post mention it at all? The only thing I can find is “Elon Musk gives exuberat speech at inauguration”, a video which only shows part of it.
Only from cowards and those who support him. The rest of us know exactly what he’s doing. Him and Trump are cosplaying the Third Reich and they’ve done everything they can to tell you all that this is the case.
Least fascism-enabling NYT headline
You know the guy practiced this move in front of his mirror the night before.
And in front of his employees asking for tips & suggestions. You know damn well he told every person he could to pump his ego.
“Show us again, boss! Show us how you’re going to do it!”
Inauguration day 2017, the defining moment was “American carnage”. This year it’s this. Fine job, America.
Please can we not take the bait?
The goal of this is to get us flipping out while the Right and casual voters go “jesus, he just waved weirdly.”
Now more than ever we have to pick our fights well. More than half the country voted trump in part because they think The Left is overreacting, please don’t feed that narrative.
Did you see it?
It’s not important, it just makes us look like we’re in hystrionics about Musk etc.
To most Americans, they’re not worried about a handful of idiots in swastikas. When we take this sort of bait it just makes real criticisms look like more Lefty whining.
Fuck that, sound the alarm. Our defacto president threw up a Nazi salute during inauguration. I was done with allowing them deniability years ago. These stupid Nazis can suck a fat baby’s dick.
And that alarm was listened to by the same people who already believe he’s a nazi, convinces and mobilizes zero people and makes the majority of voters who voted for trump even less likely to listen to us when someone isn’t just making a stupid salute but actually doing dangerous shit that actually harms people.
I get that for spoiled mostly white kids online, life will pretty much go on and nothing that bad will happen. But to those of us who actually understand the potential harm, we also underground that how we react matters more than what feels good or is easy, like screaming nazi.
You don’t deserve to breath my air scumbag.

Fucking Hell NY Times can you please just not be a myopic piece of shit and actually call a nazi a nazi. All of this enabling hang-wringing pearl-clutching nonsense is part of how we got in this problem.
