"In the afternoon, Elon Musk spoke to the crowd, throwing two salutes that right-wing extremists, including neo-Nazis, interpreted as Nazi salutes."

"WOW! Checking in on hate group chats, and they are absolutely buzzing by what they perceive to be a Roman salute by Elon Musk."
~ Phil Williams quoted by Alex Henderson
I'm going to assume that right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis know a Nazi salute when they see one better than anyone else knows a Nazi salute.

"The first day of Donald Trump’s second presidency hasn’t even ended yet and Nazis are trending on X."
~ Wajahat Ali
Yes, Elon Musk Did a Nazi Salute. Yes, Nazis are the Baddies.
Don't let right-wing media, corporate news, and the ADL gaslight you. Elon Musk did a Nazi salute. He's simply following in the footsteps of Donald Trump by courting and rewarding racists in the base.

"Our parents’ generation fought against the Nazis. Now we have someone who was grinning and clapping during an inaugural address, giving the Nazi salute, at an event for the new leader.

"Back in the first Trump presidency, Trump’s critics spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get Trumpers to admit they’d done this or that, to apologize, whatever. This was always a mistake. I don’t need anyone to validate what I saw. I saw it."

Elon Goes Full Sieg Heil In Clarifying Moment
I was at the gym this afternoon when I saw out of the corner of my eye Elon Musk giving an exuberant speech at one of the Trump inauguration’s events.

@wdlindsy cc @GottaLaff This may prove invaluable!!

This is the media-industrial complex: right-wingers do something shocking so the left-wing media can breathlessly report it and get clicks. Everyone gets richer.

@wdlindsy not surprised Trump brags about tampering with the election.
“After praising Elon Musk, he told the crowd “He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good…. Thank you to Elon.””
-
@bipartisan And media, whether right or left, should simply turn a blind eye and remain silent? Is that your point?

@wdlindsy Trump’s supporters say they can’t afford eggs, yet they can afford to buy fake money $TRUMP $MELANIA #memecoin
“CNN noted that the release of the meme coin had raised “serious ethics concerns,” but those who participate in the industry were less gentle. One wrote: “Trump’s sh*tcoin release has caused possibly the greatest overnight loss of credibility in presidential history. He made $60B. Great for Trump family, terrible for this country and hopes we had for the Trump presidency.””

@tweetsjen Touché. They just had to elect Trump because the price of eggs — but somehow found thousands to fly to D.C. and stay in expensive hotels in order to see the new monarch crowned.
-
@tweetsjen Yes, I think he and his cronies want to give us the impression that they have rigged the system in perpetuity and it's futile for us to protest.

@BlueWaver22 @GottaLaff I agree. I've subscribed, though not as a paying subscriber, because I already overextend my limited fixed income as a retiree by a pretty large range of donations/subscriptions to groups and causes that seem to me worth my support.

Note how his upper teeth are folded tightly over his lower lip? This is a VERY INTENTIONAL SALUTE
A SPECIFIC salute and he shoved it up there multiple times to make sure everyone was specifically aware he was doing THIS SPECIFIC salute.

@LaNaehForaday I saw that, too, and the hostility and what I read as outright hate on his face. This was a deliberate, planned, full-body and facial gesture and he knew exactly the audience he would reach with it.
-
@wdlindsy Josh Marshall is also one of the ‘resistance’ grifters who makes a living off of these politics. So i suggest moving on to read The Lever or something rather than the ‘resistance’ of fixating on Trump all day

"This photograph of Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute while standing behind the seal of the President of the United States summarizes the reprehensible first day of the second Trump regime. This gesture was no accident. The richest man in the world gave Hitler’s sieg heil not once, but twice in rapid succession."
