Multiple accidents in a row. Accidentally doing the same thing multiple times with a smile on your face. Enthusiastically making a mistake, repeating it, and not commenting about the mistake.
These are all examples of how people act when they make mistakes.
Also accidentally following a ton of Nazi accounts on Twitter and replying ‘interesting!’ or ‘you’re absolutely right!’ whenever those accounts blame the Jews/globalists/immigrants for anything.
Also saying the afd was the way to save Germany
Accident my hole, he wanted to see if he could get away with it. So far he has.
it would have been better if it was a smile; he looked a bit angry while talking “about his heart”
I hate these filthy Neutrals, Kif. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.
Tell my wife I said hello.
Code beige
No one does that on accident. This will be far worse than most expect
He makes the face that a 12-year-old would make when trying to be cool and do something they’re not supposed to. It’s a recurring thing with him, both acting and looking like a shitty child.
Well, since he did it in the opposite direction, it cancels out the first one!
I feel like “noo it wasn’t a Nazi salute, or uh, it wasn’t intentional” is more of a “right of center” response instead of a “center” response, and “Elon Musk just did a Nazi salute on live TV” is closer to center, but otherwise this seems accurate
On this case, the “noo it wasn’t a Nazi salute, or uh, it wasn’t intentional” is a “nazis paid me to say this” response. At best it’s “I haven’t seen it, and I don’t trust you” answer.
But well, the people criticizing “centrists” are usually on that later category, and usually for good reason, so their experience may be biased.
None of the mainstream media wanted to call it out for what it was. They profess to be centrist, but you could indeed probably classify them as centre right, especially when it comes to economic issues.
The problem is that America has no mainstream centrist or leftist media. It’s either center-right or far-right. The closest we get to a progressive are comics like John Stewart and John Oliver.
What exactly is the “context” for doing a full-on nazi salute? Other than to show everyone that you’re a nazi?
It’s right out of Trump’s playbook. You do something outrageous and evil, with just a smidgen of deniability… it gets them attention. That’s what they crave, to lead the news cycle, to be hated by the left but maintain enough deniability that the center and right will still be on your side. This is Trump 101.
He said the magic words “my heart to you” clearly clarifies that his salute was meant to be that, duh /s
You mean well before he actually said during the sieg heils
“It is thanks to you, that the future of civilization is assured.”

Elon Musk inner thoughts: I should Nazi salute. Do it. Do it you pussy. Think of the news it’ll generate. Think of all the votes, oh god I’ll make all the democrats cry that I’m a nazi when I’m not even a nazi! Fuck, lets do it!
nazi salute
Oh god that was awkward as fuck. Okay, let’s do it twice, then make sure they know I’m serious and it wasn’t just some weird fucked up tic I do.
nazi salutes again even harder
MMHPPHPHPHHHHHHHH SUCK IT AOC.
Heat of the moment, not everyone you don’t like is a Nazi
At least those are the excuses I’ve seen
When we say Mangione the 1%, we mean all of them.
Your scale is way off, the whole scale should be between right of centre and far right
A lot of people defending Elon but I still haven’t seen Elon defend Elon. Concerning.
He reportedly did a tweet mocking people for calling him Hitler (which I saw in elsewhere since I’m not a user of his site). Incredibly, of all people, the ADL also chirped out the same “it was an accident” line as the media.
ADL? What’s that? Aryan Defense League?
I think he made some tweets about it
Only valid for the American political.
All my friends here in Europe, up to and including centre right, are the far left wojak in this meme
European here. Our centrists would be considered left by americans and not a single one I know thinks it wasn’t a nazi salute who wasnt a right winger nut job.
Is Saturday Night Live on this weekend? I hope they open with Musk the night before, practicing in front of a mirror. “First I’m gonna sieg heil, then twirl, then sieg heil again, then recite the Fourteen Words. No… maybe just salute, then do a HALF turn, then only HINT at the 14 words… People will get it!”
I hope they just completely recreate one of Hitler’s speeches but with Elon instead.
Or better yet, that video of Hitler watching the Olympics while completely tweaked out
Yes, with host Timothée Chalamet. Interesting that space hitler is hosting snl after Musk did this.
It would be awesome if they did something with this. But their corporate owners will doubtlessly forbid it.
And what do we do with nazis?
Punch them in the face.
That is a lot milder than what I was taught.
Shoot them on sight, they’re enemy combatants 😏
But you do realize they didn’t celebrate “not getting banned by court” with their small group of a few lads but winning presidency with likely a sizable chunk of voters fully supporting them in even their more crude views?
No one on the left is crestfallen or surprised or whatever that wojak means that an oligarch is also a fascist. Or that a racist dipshit who praised the nazi party like last week happens to be a nazi.
When you make a Nazi salute and you’re an average person making less than $60,000 a year and barely making ends meet … you are a right wing extremist Nazi that is hated by the general public.
When you make a Nazi salute and you control over $400 billion … there is cause for debate and questions about whether or not it was a Nazi salute
“My heart goes out to you” - Troglodyte response.
Shift that center to the right a little more. I think the true center would say something like “Why are we still talking about Elon Musk?”
I doubt it. Even moderates understand that the richest man in the world getting his own White House department is novel and worth discussing.
I’m saying the opinion that is labeled as center is not center at all. It’s right wing. We’re saying the same thing.
I don’t know what you hope to accomplish with these memes other than pushing people to the right… Like is that the goal? Because it seems like that’s the goal. It’s a constant strawman fallacy with the same bullshit format the far right uses in their memes.
I hate that this is a meme.
Exactly.
Almost like that’s the point.
Do I think he did an actual salute? Honestly, I just think he got excited and tried to improvise some kind of “thank you” gesture. I’m going to forget about this in a week anyway.
Do I think he’s a nazi? Yeah.
Plus, the wealth he hoards can solve some societal problems forever. That’s more than enough for him to qualify as an evil bastard.
He’s going to gut all the government agencies investigating his shitty business practices.
That whole cabinet is going to fuck absolutely everything up astronomically.
Every expert asked says he did a Nazi salute. There’s a gif that makes the comparison obvious, especially with the hand-on-heart
hE wUz tRoLliN lawlz
He was flaunting and hoping rubes like you would make up his cou ter narrative. Good job, piss boy.
Alright, man. I won’t die on this hill. He did a nazi salute.
Now can we fucking move on? Israel launched an attack on the West Bank, and this stupid shit is dominating the news cycle.
Lol so hostile to someone who agrees with you on everything except this one thing
I mean if that’s where someone’s head goes when improvising a thanks it’s kinda telling…
I know you people hate the center, but thats a pretty far right Portrait of the center
As a republican…yeaahhh
The centre is the actual ones looking like the guy on the left. Everyone else is celebrating, either “I fucking told you so” or “yay our kinda guy”.
Tf are you on about?
That is an accurate representation of what is happening. Kudos to whoever made this.

Center here, it was a full blown nazi salute and every other european centrist I know also know it was a full blown nazi salute. We dont want to assosciate with the people saying it wasn’t a nazi salute, they are either insanely stupid or undercover nazis.
