It was originally a Buddhist salute before the Nazis co-opted it.

That was his shout-out to Proud Boys and the AfD.

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter.

But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

Musk is a True America (White Africa) Firster... just like the Trumpublican Party is their direct descendant:

"When 20,000 American Nazis Descended Upon New York City

In 1939, the German American Bund organized a rally of 20,000 Nazi supporters at Madison Square Garden in New York City. When Academy Award-nominated documentarian Marshall Curry stumbled upon footage of the event in historical archives, he was flabbergasted."

www.theatlantic.com

He's found HIS People!!

I'm just thrilled for him, really. I hope it all werks out for him the way I think it eventually will.

And in other news Obama showed up at Carter's funeral and the inauguration solo because Michelle caught him putting on woman's clothing with Sam Brinton. No joke.

Corky is Hitler obsessed. You didn't get it Corky did you. One, of the many, reasons Trump won the election was because ordinary people wanted nothing to do with the moonbats who couldn't debate policy so they constantly called Trump and his supporters Hitler and Nazis. So for that the country is grateful. Thankyou for your service.

So, FishP... it must have been tough for you having to drop out of school in the 5th grade.

I mean, the mental and emotional toll it's taken on you is obvious.

Trump didn't win even half the votes, and then only by lying about what he was going to... I'm afraid you will still be waiting for Mexico to pay for building a Wall a few decades from now, and the same with Tariffs and grocery prices.

And I'm afraid that debating policy isn't really a strong point for 5th grade dropouts. Sorry about that.

"MTG Threatens PBS for Accurately Describing Elon Musk's Salute

Musk is under fire for doing a Nazi salute at Donald Trump's inauguration"twice

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is threatening to bring news outlets that accurately report on Elon Musk's horrific Sieg Heil before Congress.

PBS News shared an unedited clip on X Monday of the billionaire technocrat speaking at a post-inauguration event for Donald Trump, when he did "what appeared to be a fascist salute," the outlet wrote.

Musk "[put] his hand on his chest and then [raised] it in a salute that appeared similar to the Sieg Heil' used by Nazis at their victory rallies," PBS wrote.

'

"One might write that it was a Sieg Heil because that's clearly what it was. But many outlets are declining to do so, for a slate of reasons that range from an abundance of caution to blatant cowardice.

Fox News, for example, suggested that Musk"who previously voiced his support for Germany's far-right party and a British neo-Nazi"had simply made a "questionable salute."

Greene, who has pushed her own antisemitic conspiracy theories from time to time, came to Musk's rescue from the dastardly American public broadcaster.

"As the Chairwoman of the Oversight Subcommittee on DOGE, I look forward to PBS @NewsHour coming before my committee and explaining why lying and spreading propaganda to serve the Democrat party and attack Republicans is a good use of taxpayer funds. We will be in touch soon," Greene wrote Monday night."

newrepublic.com

Marge Trailor Greene has Oversight on DOGE? That's weird enough by itself.

Has Musk offered to replace her butch-built body with a robotic one?

Inquiring minds....

Because they haven't reached the 270 electoral college votes necessary to enact the law. Right now they are sitting at 209. That's why.

Unlike the video of Mr Musk's gesture, moving his hand from his heart to the extended arm position of the Nazi salute[1], the context of those still images in that link is not known.

A Nice Try, though.


[1] - From what I saw, he even turned around and made that same gesture towards those in back of the stage. So it was not a one-time ~oops~ thing.
