Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes during celebrations of the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump.

In a statement posted to social media later on Monday, the ADL said: (…) “It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, (…)

Twice?

    He doesn’t “appear to make”. He fucking makes a nazi salute. TWICE.

    Can we please start calling him a nazi? He supports a nazi party, he does a nazi salute, he doesn’t ban nazi swastikas from twitter.

    If he sounds like a nazi, looks like a nazi and behaves like a nazi, it’s a fucking nazi.

        He’s supporting AfD in Germany, Reform and this piece of shit in the UK, and the Conservative Party of Canada under Pierre Poilievre, who loves to court the votes of neo-Nazis and speaks the same bigoted rhetoric as US Republicans.

      Haven’t you heard? Black people are all gangsters and thugs. Wearing a hoodie is intimidation. Gasping for breath is resisting arrest.

      Of /course/ these miscreants are looting.

        Notice how happy the guy on the left is doing it? He couldn’t possibly do it any harder. He’s been waiting to do that in front of people for YEARS. He just now feels comfortable doing it in the open.
