For anyone wondering: that’s a Flag.
(I put Elon’s name in the title so people can filter it)
If I ‘accidentally’ did a Nazi salute, as a non-Nazi I would spend the next week:
- Making clear that I do not agree with Nazis
- Rejecting praise from Nazis calling me ‘based’
- Not tweeting out a series of Nazi puns
- Not campaigning for a far-right anti-semitic German party
If I did the opposite of all these things it would be because I want everyone to know it was no accident. Anyone still saying ‘who knows what he means by any of it’ after this week is either a lying POS, bought and paid for, or just thick as a cement brick
“B-but… He’s autistic!” As far as I know, autism’s only makes you kinda weird and socially awkward, not a moron nor a freaking Nazi!
Also like… That’s probably the only time you’ll see sympathy over neurodivergency from the people saying that
Jesus Christ, you’re so right… This is so fucked up.
I have 2 autistic boys and Ive said this repeatedly to them and shared it here. Autism does not entitle you to be an asshole
Elons parents clearly did not teach him this, or they failed.
Given his parents, I highly doubt they were worried about teaching him about that.
I’m autistic and I’m not a nazi and the nazis would’ve killed me for being autistic
elons a fucking racist bigoted idiot
Just like Kanye, it’s schizophrenia’s fault he loooovvves Hitler
You would probably instantly say you were sorry for doing a hand wave that could have been perceived as nazi. That it was not your intention and that you are terribly sorry.
He has not said so anywhere, the media said it for him but he hasn’t clarified shit.
He’s doing at least half of those things. Depending on how you view things.
Which half? And please provide some examples.
I don’t feel like verifying that all of them happened directly but I can say at the very minimum the last dot isn’t something he did. Because… you know. Reality.
What?? The last bullet point is literally the subject of the thread you’re on. The picture in this post is from Musk campaigning for the AfD which is a far-right German party that is well-known for being antisemitic. I can’t tell if you’re utterly clueless or trolling right now.

very toughtful of you.
It was a suggestion form a Lemmy pal in other prior post. I think is a good idea since I too want to see this fash face the least posible. (This is an exception though, 'cause the phot is too good.)
indeed it is a rather unfortunate photo for that … person. :)
Would putting something like “#Elon” at the end of the post accomplish the same?
But does his heart go out to them? Why would his heart go out to Republicans but not the AfD?
It’s illegal to “heart out” in Germany. They already went through that once.
Odd that he can control his “awkward gestures” in front of certain audiences.
countries that might actually do something about it
… the flag.
It’s a legit picture…
Reality’s screenwriters could not possibly make what is happening more obvious.
… Yet you can still have a conversation with people who liked the Boys until season 4, that’s when it got all political.
… You still have Elon simps sucking off the latest Starship failed launch as groundbreaking innovative progress.
… Price of eggs is up 20% from Avian Flu, Trump is decimating the gov agencies that would respond to that… any Trump supporters worried about egg prices?
… 75% of California’s migrant farm workers just walked off their jobs after the indiscriminate ICE crackdowns have begun.
Any Trump supporters gonna talk about how that’ll lower food prices? Any Latino Trump supporters still convinced they’re ok, they’re the good ones, they’ll be fine?
Any anti-war Trump supporters gonna talk about us functionally declaring war on Mexico by designating the cartels as terrorists?
Sorry Mr. Franklin, we could not keep it.
Sorry, rest of the world. You see our true nature now.
I mean, we could all see the true nature of the U.S. ages ago. Like literally decades and decades ago and pretty much the whole time, to be honest.
And the permanent stun proceeds as planned.
the full clip is fucking crazy just straight up nazi shit
Remember back in January when it was wild to see Elon talking to radical right wing Germans?
This might be a stupid question but where was the picture taken
As far as I know, it was on a Rally of the AfD where Musk had an intervention. Here’s a article headline (EDIT: In Dutch).
Thanks
That’s dutch.
Damn, my bad. I’ll correct it.
I can understand the confusion. Dutch does combine words, but not normally with the enthusiasm of German. So seeing verkiezingbijeenkomst in the caption might have confused you. 😉
With all this AI shit going around recently, can we make a browser extension that does that automatically?
Emm… “Do” what? 😅
Adds a Hitler mustache to Musk’s photos.
Ohh! That would be so fucking funny! I’m pretty sure it’s possible.
