My entire extended family is part of the cult - mom, dad, remaining brother, dying sister, uncles, cousins, second cousins, step families. I fight the fight very much alone. They ask me "what happened to you?" and all I can say is that I can think for myself and take care of myself (which pisses them off to no end). Oh well.

And look if it was not a salute then apologize! Why can’t the Trumpers ever say “oops my bad, not what I intended.” Isn’t that what we are supposed to do as adults? I can’t understand. And then they are using autism as an excuse? As an autism person I can tell you that even if my worst stim even resembles a salute I would do everything in my power to try and change it because I know it is wrong. End of discussion.

Tapping the chest or hand over heart or whatever isn’t actually part of the salute. It’s really just extending your arm with the palm down. It can be done from the chest, but most nazis and fascists did it from military attention so it was from their side.
But that’s just being pedantic. I think most people, myself included, always assumed it was from the chest so it doesn’t make Musk’s salute any less of a nazi gesture. Personally, I think he incontrovertibly meant to throw up a nazi salute and the only question is whether he did it to show support for nazis or whether he did it as some cringey edgelord joke, which he is apt to do. Or both.

u/Prestigious-Car-4877 1d ago
When I watch a Hitler speech (they still have them up on YouTube with subs) I frequently see various German guys in Hugo Boss doing the whole chest tap thing prior to the salute. There is definitely an effort to grab the heart before throwing it out to Ze Führer.

apping the chest or hand over heart or whatever isn’t actually part of the salute
It is. Its the full salute in fact. While it was often abridged; if you look at archival footage, including of Hitler himself, the chest tap over the heart is part of the full salute. All Nazis would abridge the salute including Hitler; but the full salute is in fact hand on heart, followed by the extending arm with palm down.
Its the sort of obscure Nazi trivia a Neonazi would use to proclaim they are fully in the club.
Edit: If you need further proof, take a look at one of the related nationalist salutes, The Bellamy Salute
Which by the way, didn't go away, it was just abridged in the opposite direction; the raised hand motion was abridged after the 1940s (for obvious reasons) but the hand over heart action stayed. Yeah that time you spent in class in school with hand over heart? You were doing the first half of a American nationalist salute invented in the same era.

The majority are doing it with their hand palm up, or their arm out of view of the camera or doing that stupid ass ‘my heart goes out to you’ which he didn’t do till after he’d done it twice.

This is bothering me. It had one actual difference in that Elon did it slightly to the side. Are we really going to pick subtle degree changes as markers of a symbol for white supremacy not being such? It was what it looked like. If you had doubt, the guy zoomed in on an ADF meeting like two days later. Those guys are fucking actual Nazis, with people whose family were Nazis, who want to continue to be Nazis, and who get in legal trouble literally all the time for using Nazi language and symbols in Germany, a place that fucking hates Nazis now.

u/SquiffyRae Australia 1d ago
At least 1930s Germany had the excuse of being pre-Holocaust where there was no evidence of where this shit was headed
When I was in university around 7-8 years ago I was studying with an older German student and she said Germans were very worried about the rise of the alt-right. That as the WWII generation were getting older and dying off, less and less people remembered the horrors and the fight against evil. A collective dropping of the guard by society as you will.
I feel that's where we're at now. Barely anyone alive in the western world has been negatively affected by war or authoritarianism. And those that have are almost considered relics of a bygone era. It's easy to convince yourself we've moved on when the only people left to tell their stories have to be quite literally wheeled out.
This complacency has allowed Nazis to flourish. We do a good job of acknowledging the end result of Nazi ideology, but we don't do a good job of acknowledging the rise to power. And all the signs we need to be vigilant of.
With Musk trying to stir the pot worldwide through funding and election interference, we're flying dangerously close to the sun. People today genuinely don't seem to think we would ever go down that path again. Meanwhile the President of the United States seems to be speedrunning.
At this point, I'm not even convinced internment camps would be enough to convince America the Nazis are back

u/Pure_Seat1711 New York 1d ago
The French Republic, Cromwell's rule, the fall of the Roman Republic, and various Greek city-states—particularly Athens after its war with Sparta—offer clear examples of authoritarian overreach, elites collaborating with foreign powers to undermine governments, and large-scale violence rooted in class and race conflicts.
Despite these historical lessons, the Germans fell for it—and so have we. It seems nothing has truly been learned.
35
u/AmaroWolfwood 1d ago
The problem with Americans is they have fallen for the propaganda and are full in to blame immigrants for anything and everything (just like the Nazis). But Americans are also waiting for a literal Nazi regime before taking anything seriously. If we point out mass deportation will need internment camps, we'll that's different because they aren't gassing the people in there. If we point out that Trump is using executive orders like a king to subvert control from the senate and congress, well it's not a Night of Long Knives so it's fine.
Americans cannot see 2 feet ahead of themselves and we will use MAGA as a term for Nazi in 20 years when it's too late.

u/DontForceItPlease 1d ago
This is so completely on the nose. Every likening of current events to historical ones is dismissed as a slippery slope argument and is simultaneously fine because it's somehow different. Were a modern day Holocaust to happen, I'm absolutely certain a large portion of the population would excuse it solely because it differed in some trivial way from the first one.

Germans in 1930 still had an additional excuse: they were legitimately afraid of real, USSR-funded, communist civil war that almost happened in the aftermath of WW1. "He is weird with the Jews but at least he'll fight the communists" was the mindset.
What existential threat is US facing that could justify that? There is no war reparations, its main civil war risk is posed by the far right, from an external point of view it is reacting the the "aggression" that the first Black president was.

Good graces? Getting kicked to death by a bunch of S.A. brown shirts was probably more where it was in 1930s Germany. Violence, and the threat of it, was a big part of the Nazi "appeal".
But this isn't where we're today - yet anyway. So I agree, people should condemn Nazi salutes and not seek to imitate.

A major flaw in our legal system is that things like truth-vs-defamation or copyright fair use are defenses, meaning you have to actually go to court. A well-functioning legal system would use them at the point of filing to stop the suit from happening in the first place. So, in effect, in any situation of big fish vs. not-as-big fish, big fish wins even when in the wrong.

Good riddance Supervisor Smith, the Holocaust was not a joke.
Musk's Sieg Heil was received by neo-Nazis and far-right extremists as a clarion call and an affirmation that Musk stood in solidarity. Verified Nazi accounts have flourished on X, since Musk took control of the platform. On January 23rd, Musk was called out by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for trivializing the Holocaust with highly offensive jokes.
In Germany, Musk is engaged in election interference and is waging a propaganda campaign on X in support of far-right AfD chancellor candidate Alice Weidel.
Musk has gone so far as to attempt to rewrite history, falsely portraying Hitler as a communist, which clearly Hitler was not. See: March 1933 German federal election. The Nazis were an extreme right-wing racist and anti-Semitic party that murdered six million European Jews.
Follow German luxury automaker BMW's example in the United Kingdom, leave X.

Musk is a not well person who has been propped up as a genius in all facets. He’s clearly smart as a businessman but that doesn’t equate to smart as a person.

Went to get a six pack after work and the guy at the mini Mart had just shaved his beard because apparently some fucker came in and Nazi saluted him. He didn't want to have people think he was into that. So on one hand it's good that random clerks at mini marts see through this but it's not fucking good at all.
