Elon Musk's Salute Stirs Up Reaction From Right-Wing Extremists
www.rollingstone.com
external-link
Right-wing extremists are abuzz over Elon Musk giving an awkward straight-armed salute during an inauguration rally for Donald Trump.

archive.today link

Who keeps saying Elon’s Nazi salute was a Nazi salute? Amongst others, a whole lot of fucking Nazi’s.

ETA: Wired has more coverage on how real goddamn fucking nazis are just as happy as pigs in shit right now: Neo-Nazis Love the Nazi-Like Salutes Elon Musk Made at Trump’s Inauguration.

    This dude manages to make his declarative nazi salute at the presidential inauguration and the world is watching look like he is a ten year old trying his best to be edgy in school assembly. How is it possible to be a central character in the midst of evil and be so fucking cringe?

          yes, and it’s one he would prefer didn’t exist.

      The original Nazis were like that too, though – massive dorks.

        At least they dressed sharply thanks to Hugo Boss. The MAGA movement looks like a bunch of tramps - chief of which being Steve Bannon.

          You’d think the richest guy in the world could afford a decent fucking suit and a remotely passable haircut.

            He can. But it’s what makes him relatable. Look at his supporters. If he dressed nicely, he’d look like the “liberal elites”.

          Hugo Boss didnt design them. All Hugo Boss did was use Jewish slave labor in their factory to assemble them.

          The sharp dressing was two SS Officers Walter Heck or something and someone else

        It goes a little bit deeper than dorkage.

          They don’t actually believe in anything, so they can actually be made to believe anything.


          This trope was actually played up in a handful of Wolfenstein games, most notably Return to Castle Wolfenstein in 2001.

        Can we not fucking attack all socially awkward dorks or autists please?

          We aren’t, non bigoted dorks are fine. I was part of a weirdo friend group in suburbia as a teenager that had some of the only queer people and black people in town. We were cringe sure, but we came by it honestly and we didn’t go around acting like we were better than everyone else for reasons beyond anyone’s control.

          The thing about nazis is that they’re evil and cringe and that’s a rough fucking combination right there

            Then call him a bigot, not a dork

            Don’t use dork like it’s a pejorative.

            If he happens to be a bigoted gay person, would you think it’s OK to call him “gay” as a pejorative?

          Well, Elon isn’t actually a diagnosed autist. His mother said as much in an interview.

      I feel like this opinion piece from last week really captures his essence

      I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers.

      If Dana White jumped up there and gave him a wedgie, it wouldn’t have seemed out of place.
