Reddit caved to facism. Another coward CEO takes it up the ass from a south African immigrant.
havnt we forgotten that reddit caved in his first term too, trumps first term the gop complained about subs and forums with “illegal acitivities” and threatened legislations, reddit took those down quick.
He wanted to do it to please the Magats but not take any responsibility or have it used against him later.
Remember when he was investigated by the SEC for Tweeting out that he was buying back Tesla stock for $420 apiece?
And when he got booted out of the company he started because he insisted on naming it “X” despite everyone telling him that made it sound like a porn site?
And when he accused those divers of being pedophiles because they rescued stranded children before he could find a way to make it about himself?
And when just about every time he announces he’s saved government money, the number “saved” is immediately backtracked?
And how the whole reason he owns Twitter is he made on offer that he immediately tried to back out of and would have if not for the threat of a multimillion dollar suit for breach of contract?
Elon Musk does not think shit through. However smart or stupid he is, however deeply he does or doesn’t believe the Trump Administration’s fascist bullshit, he does not dedicate much time to thinking about it before he does stuff. I do not doubt for a moment that he performed and meant to perform a Nazi salute. As to what he was thinking, I cannot say. Maybe he cannot. He definitely has sympathies for anti-semitic and racist movements, but I don’t think he thought he was going to be hailed as the savior of the Aryan race for doing it. Maybe he thought it would be funny. Maybe he thought it would be “ironic.” Maybe he thought it would get “teh libz” in a tizzy. He probably didn’t think he would have to avoid ever going to Germany again under threat of being arrested. Whatever he was thinking, he probably wasn’t thinking it more than five seconds before he did it. And he’s clearly not thinking it now. Because despite being the richest man on the planet, Elon Musk is a bumblefuck who doesn’t think things through and has thus far been able to buy or otherwise ride his way out of any consequences of the things he has done without thinking about them.
ELON is such a 12yo manchild, thinks like a sex-curious, addict of that age. he would be the ones asking those wierd sexual question on askreddit sub.
Did Germany make him persona non grata or something? Or is there a standing arrest on sight order for Nazis in general
The latter.
They take neo-fascism seriously.
Yeah, I think you’re exactly right. Now he’s seeing consequences - particularly the affect on the Tesla brand - and realised he’s shat the bed. So he’s thinking ‘If I can make those photos go away, people will forget it happened.’
Yeah, lotsa luck with that.
Well said
What’s wrong? Just own it already.
Because a nazi Sieg Heil is seen as a bad thing by 90% of the world and if he came out and admitted it was one he would probably lose a few supporters from being on his side (probably not a big amount but some)
Idk dude the world has a lot of assholes maybe more like 80% eh?
Well this was the tiny little push I needed to make an account lol
Ahoy
I joined for the same reasons. The oligarchs can’t easily censor here as they have on reddit.
Make yourself at home
Welcome!
Welcome. If you have any questions, most of us are more than willing to help :)
I think he wants it removed because of the effect on Tesla. He’d prefer if he could do things without consequences for his actions.
I assume it sucks feeling consequenses for the first time in his life. I hope he feels some more consequenses.
In Musk logic: it’s not bad when he does it. It’s bad when people start discussing it, because they might come to a disapproving conclusion.
That’s a very roundabout way to say that he doesn’t enjoy consequences.
Just like children who grow up without consequences.
Spez is also a cocksucker
There’s nothing wrong with sucking cocks. There’s everything wrong with being a greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy.
Don’t forget creating and awarding a unique “Pimp Daddy” trophy for the founder and moderator of r/jailbait and r/creepshots!
🤢
I think it depends whose cock is being sucked
In this case it is musk’s
“Greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy” would be an excellent BDSM/alt-culture nickname if greedy bootlicking pigboy Nazis hadn’t ruined everyone’s fun. Again.
There’s nothing wrong with sucking cock but there is no doubt with a face like that he loves the idea of chocking on a cock as he fondles the nuts.
You seem contradictory. Are you sure you’re not homophobic? Not trying to bait. No need to answer me at all. Just calling for your own self reflection.
He looks like a fucking serial killer
He looks like he prefers a hairy nut sack in his mouth
Let’s not insult people who enjoy having hairy nut sacks in their mouths, garbling balls tends to be a better thing for society than Reddit is
Cockmongler Jr.
I find it funny how all these tech guys all have the same soulless dead eyed stare. To the point where an AI generated portrait looks more human than them.
Lifeless eyes, like a doll’s eyes.
When it comes at you, it doesn’t seem to be livin’
Cocksuckers at least provide a service. Spez just services himself.
And then we say…
Anyone? Somebody? Come on people. Nobody? Well, guess it’s up to me.
Fuck Spez.
fuck u/spez
gotta make sure he sees it
I think you’re forgetting his servicing of a certain knob’s knob. Here’s a hint: it’s 4 letters and can be made with the letters in “felon”
*Steve Huffman
Who?
Oh god it’s like a fucking mirror. Vile.
Time to introduce him to the Streisand effect
He doesn’t want it removed. He wants to target those using it against him. Nazis using it to praise him are not in the crossfires now.
More examples of literal nazis praising trump and musk needed to be shoved into to the general publics face to combat this. Ive only heard some nobodies on internet mention it.
Comparison of Nazi salute circa 1940 to Musk salute circa 2025:
If Hitler were alive he’d watch this video and say “Ja! Das ist how you do it!”
I never actually watched the video. Now that I watched I think he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute. He pressed his chest before raising his hand. I think he meant to salute his audience. That would also align with what he’s saying.
It’s people like you why I have to keep this damn gif around:
Seeing this, or a similar one, was what made me realise there was no other plausible explanation for what he was doing.
hes the type to watch history channel but only the parts about the nazis.
Also if they say they are not 100% the same tell them that American Nazis did add the chest slap to the whole thing.
unfortunately I didn’t think my own actions through, the placement of your gif and the context compelled me to like it, now I feel dirty.
Yes, the way a Nazi would - now shut the fuck up about it not being a Nazi salute.

You shut the fuck up. Bring your toxicity and unhappy life elsewhere.
Imagine some random person on the internet said something you don’t like and you immediately get triggered like that. Laughable.
Anything remotely Nazi related should probably trigger people
People on the internet are way too soft and emotional these days. Man-up and stop wining about trivialities. My comment was not Nazi related. It was just an observation. No reason to be insulting.
Why are you defending fascists by running defense for them? That’s a really bad look.

Yes. That includes you, here, in this thread.
Yeah, you’re right, people are too soft.
They should do that was done to Nazis during the war instead. Let me know if you volunteer walking into a BAR.

Bring you’re insane Nazi apologist shit elsewhere, dude. As everyone else said, it and you are not wanted here.
Imagine being tolerant of fucking nazis lmao. C’mon bro. That’s lame.
You’re making a lot of assumtions. Musk is a prick and I hate him. What makes you think I tolerate him?
Guy goes out of his way to defend Musk, turns around with ‘BuT AcKsHuAlLy I hAtE mUsK! cHeCkMaTe LoSeRs!’
I’ll be reminding you of this conversation if I see you commenting again.
Don’t bother deleting or editing your messages, I’ve already got them screenshot and saved.
First of all, I’m not defending anyone. You lack reading comprehension. Me saying I interpret this not as a Nazi salute does not imply I like Musk or think he’s not a Nazi.
Second, I’m not deleting any messages. They got removed by mods for being insulting. So are other messages by other people who insulted me. But you can see that as it says “removed by mods”. Back to reading comprehension…
Go ahead and save screenshots of my comments and fill up your storage. You realize how this sounds right? You need to relax buddy. This is just a random thread on the internet. Nothing life-changing. Go outside, see the sun.
How many assumptions did I cram into a couple sentences? Lmao. I didn’t say anything about musk. My statement was about nazis.
Cool cool cool. So since it looks like a Nazi salute and was maybe accidental, he will surely apologize for the appearance and make sure no one misunderstands and thinks he is green lighting Naziism. That would be a good way to know. Should not take more than 24 hours. Even a tweet would help. Or a Xit or whatever we should call it now.
damn those tricky accidental nazi gestures.
They are both doing it wrong. Nazis don’t even know how to do it properly xD.
Hitler is doing his own salute wrong?
What do you mean? Hitler is doing the Roman salute. Which is not what Musk was doing in this video.
Do you have any historical references to Romans doing that? Cause all I can find are fascists doing a salute called a Roman salute.
Roman salute comes from rome indeed. Its historical indeed, namely q930s. Coincidentally made by the same people who invented faschsim, coincidentally named faschists.
Read a single fucking book.
Exactly.
The claim that the salute has its origins in ancient Rome is dubious at best and ignores the fact that the salute is immediately associated with Nazism. Not a single Roman work of art depicts the salute. Don’t you think that’s a little fishy? There is evidence that it actually originated from the National Fascist Party, under Mussolini. Suffice to say there’s no good evidence that it originated from ancient Rome as opposed to it being a relatively new thing starting from the turn of the 20th century and originating in fascism.

early on there was an analysis that showed it was closest to the South African right wing version. Which kinda makes sense, no?
why does it matter?
lmfao the fucking 1984 doublespeak shit that lets these fucks edge their way into normalcy shouldn’t be tolerated. he did a roman solute full stop. why is this even something that people entertain debating?
act like they’re the stupid fucking idiots they are so they go crawling back into the depths of hell in shame, where they came from
please don’t do double speak: calling it a roman salute is already trying to give it any historical rationalisation.
it is a nazi salute. there is little to no evidence of romans doing that salute. the only history with that gesture starts around 1914.
He had ample opportunity to go back and apologize, say he didn’t mean to, with how it looked, anything. But no he went to double down with anti semitism, and supporting the afd. He didn’t, it was a nazi salute, and it shouldn’t be shouldn’t be defended.
Gonna tag you as ‘fucking moron’
Hitler also did it. The only difference was that Elon Musk did so with more vigour. If he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute, why did he respond with Nazi puns rather than apologizing?
there is no doubts that he is total #nazi
Even Musk hasn’t denied it was a Nazi salute. Twice.
He only said that he doesn’t want to be called Hitler.
He’s not Hitler in this scenario. Hes Goebbels.
Elon “Go balls” Musk. Hmmm.
he’d prefer everyone refer to hitler as ‘the original musk?’
Did you believe him when he said owning a Tesla would actually pay you when it drives itself in…2015?
He was saluting his audience… Not unlike Hitler
I’m blocking you, but before I do I want you to know I hope you go out like Hitler did.
Unbelievable how such a trivial and unimportant comment that I wrote while taking a shit can trigger such a fuss here. Insults after insults. Why can you not relax for a moment and be happy? I meant no harm with my comment. Blocking accounts on the Fediverse based on that… Pathetic
I’d say you’re dumb as dog shit, but comparatively you make dog shit look smart.
Thanks <3 This comment actually made my day.
Just wanted some attention, eh?
Started with a genuine comment. But with all of these trolls insulting me for no reason it quickly turned into amusement and trolling back.
Were you born this fucking stupid or did you have to take classes?
Who am I gonna believe? You or my lying eyes?
He did it twice. That’s not an oops.
Have you ever watched American History X? Go see how neo-nazis salute each other.
You mean the 2 times he did it? Once toward the crowd and then toward the flag… like a nazi?
Oh i read your post and now that i did it’s very clear you meant he was doing nazi salutes.
On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.
That and he definetely wasn’t expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

Nope. I saw it live on TV and there was absolutely zero confusion of what it was.
Anyone who thinks differently is dumb as hell.
It was a nazi salute.
That and he definetely wasn’t expecting the backlash to be as big as it was
FUCKING HOW?
Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life’s real problems.
Money, private security, and little human shields can too.
FUCKING HOW?
He’s a fucking idiot that’s convinced he’s smarter than everyone else.
And is on Ketamine and probably cocaine.
Honestly? I think he was on cocaine or something at that moment, sure looked like it.
It’s rumored to be ketamine. As in, he loves the stuff.
Asperger’s likely plays a big part here.
My friend has been on his meds for years and doesn’t act like this at all. He acted like this pre meds but he was 10, so, maybe, unmedicated?
He was testing the waters And to know his “limit”. Now that we know there are people denying what it was and defending him, he can push it further, rally his/trumps base, create distractions and continue the grift while planting seeds of racism and violence among the communities. distraction mostly, but he’s a piece of shit human.
He is of the special kind of dumb that comes from obscenely rich backgrounds
He thinks he’s a god. Only thing I can think
Most likely Musk was testing the waters, but there’s also a high probability that he’s just plain stupid, after all, this is the same guy who pretended to be the best PoE2 player by paying others to play the game for him, only to then accidentally expose his own lie on a live stream.
Regardless of his reasons for making the gesture at that moment, taking into account his family history and the parties and people he supports, that gesture was without a shadow of a doubt a Nazi salute whose ideology he admires.
It’s pretty well-known (as he admitted on SNL in 2021) that Elon Musk has Asperger’s Syndrome. This is evident in his inability to understand social cues and appropriate communication, his hardwired complete lack of empathy, and his strange and overpowering obsession with the letter X. He probably thinks he’s being edgy or hilarious without understanding that there are social consequences for those things that he does not have the ability to comprehend in the moment. Even scarier, actually, if you look into the history of the man the condition was named for (Hans Asperger) and some of the things he was into… you know, like generic purity and being a Nazi.
I also have Asperger’s syndrome, it’s just the old name given to the condition of those who presented autism with the mildest symptoms of the spectrum, it doesn’t take away my ability to know the meaning of a Nazi salute and what doing it represents, so I see no reason to excuse him because of that.
If he really didn’t want people to share a picture of him heil-ing, then he could always, oh, i dunno, STOP FUCKING HEIL-ING you stupid fucking twat
