An awkward autistic guy trying to do a sort of Roman salute, saying my heart goes out to you all. Probably should have practiced first but I don't make anything of it besides that. It is most certainly not a Nazi salute, I know that much. All the same, a bit of a faux pas at the Trump inauguration.
Some sort of a satirical or sardonic "movement" could certainly arise from this as it was a very high profile moment, but I think we ought to use caution before attributing intentionality.
Unfortunately it's been taking out of context, without his words - "my heart goes out to you all." I have serious reservations on some of what Elon is involved in, but at the same time recognize his great contributions to our country. I agree, this gesture needed practice and ultimately revamping. The left is melting down over it, of course. More fodder for their outrage. It's so tiring and predictable.
Did you hear a single word from his mouth that resembled in any way a Nazi speech? "My heart goes out to you" directed to an audience of Blacks, Whites, Asian, Latinos, Gay, Straight, Men, Women, all walks of life... No, I don't think for a moment Elon Musk is a Nazi or was trying to invoke the Nazis with such move. He touched his heart and he reached out to the people. Let's stop assuming the worst out of him and look at his actions and words.
That didn't take long for the fake news to start inventing stories to fool the gullible.

"As a person with a *strong* track record of criticizing Elon Musk, I feel extremely confident asserting that this was not a Nazi salute. Elon Musk is a friend to the Jews. This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don't need to invent outrage."
The media is misleading you. Elon Musk never did a Nazi salute. Watch the full video: He simply gestured and said, “Thank you, my heart goes out to you.”
I don't make anything of it. He is awkward and states his heart goes out to the audience. I saw this posted everywhere on social media referencing Nazi - we all know he isn't and neither is Trump. Sad.
I have unsubscribed from your emails and content. Obviously was not a Nazi salute. That you would imply that he made that gesture is so ‘Biden’ good bye
It was also an AMERICAN Pledge of Allegiance salute before the Nazi's had a similar gesture and then the pledge of allegiance salute was changed to a hand over the heart. To attribute a Nazi salute to him is nothing but the left wing trying to smear him! It's disgusting.
I was happy to see your comment, as well. People are so quick to jump on the "Nazi" garbage when Trump or Elon are mentioned. I'm used to the left doing that, but it's even more disheartening to see the same ridiculous parallels drawn by people who supposedly are on the side of actual hope and change for the country.
Schickelgruber! I completely forgot 😆 WW2 wouldn't have happened if he hadn't changed his name. HEIL SHICKELGRUBER just doesn't have the right oomph to get the Obergruppenfuehers excited
Schicklgruber means “sump digger” in the Waldviertel dialect. But that is not the important point. Adolf Hitler's father was born out of wedlock. the mother's name was Schicklgruber. hahahahah ahhaahaa I guess she married a "hitler" later on.... I did not read that far
I believe the original was "Heidler." Little known fact: Hitler was afflicted with gross flatulence. In confined spaces (like conference rooms) attendees at his meetings nearly asphyxiated. 🤣😅😂
Yes. I saw it. You and I are both Christians, Karen, and we agree on many things. I know you say often that you "pride yourself on being 'honest'," but if you are really being "honest" is that an excuse for being prematurely judgemental and not extending any grace or the benefit of the doubt to someone who has not yet done anything specific to engender that? (I'm aware of some of your reservations about him, and I have some myself, but I believe in giving people a chance to show me what their real intentions are. And because he is backing Trump in the effort to save our country, I'm willing to cut him some slack and not finger-wag at every imagined little thing.) If you are fired up about silly stuff, it takes the impact away from the things that are valid.
You are trying to make something out of nothing. The NAZI, Holocaust thing is over! We haven't forgotten and we don't need constant reminders that only feed other agendas.

You are 100 percent correct! Just my friend Elon getting a little over excited
He’s admitted that he has Asperger syndrome, so he’s unstable and can go in any direction
Jay - I think Musk is trying to start a national movement. My guess is a lot of people will feel freed up to imitate him, no matter *his* motivation.

You are a member of the moronic liberal bubble people.
Elon is a prince who helped to
SAVE this Republicans so go take your stupid conspiracy theory and put it where the sunshine ain’t
Agree. Ian got it also. https://x.com/IanCarrollShow/status/1881467189624254919

I think it’s an awkward “my heart goes out to you” as explained here:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/maga-offers-baffling-explanation-for-elon-musks-salute/
I don’t think Musk is a Nazi supporter
I agree. Nothing nefarious about it. Elon was wound up, with some autism peaking through. https://x.com/network_guy8/status/1881452029610258618?s=61&t=aiL0Xa2q-2eAgGT_BynZCg
He said he was giving his heart to the Americans who voted in thanks!! The stupid comments that are made up
Nah. Not seeing it like a Nazi salute.

Oh Please! Elon is not doing a Nazi Salute! You are haters.
"My heart goes out to you"

Elon Musk just last year traveled with Ben Shapiro to Auschwitz and then Israel to learn about the Holocaust and Jewish history.
Anyone trying to portray him as a Nazi is intentionally misleading the public. It was a stupid hand gesture, not an intentional Nazi salute.

-> "Intentionally misleading"
• Media Lies
CNN is accusing Elon Musk of doing a Nazi salute on stage.
Full context shows Elon was gesturing that his heart goes out to the crowd.
They’re grasping at straws today.

day late here, I missed/skipped all of media new yesterday,
CNN starts some hellish fires,. Shame on them
People are trying to demonize Elon. He has accomplished much for President Trump.
No, he didn't! It was a hand from his heart, which unfortunately looked like a Nazi salute.
That is not a Nazi salute. Elon is autistic. He’s awkward. That a silly meaningless awkward hand gesture.
I don't make anything of it. He is awkward and states his heart goes out to the audience. I saw this posted everywhere on social media referencing Nazi - we all know he isn't and neither is Trump. Sad.

What a baby this Larry is.
bye
It was a Roman army salute long before Schicklgruber adopted it. Are you sure he wasn't evoking the Roman empire...? How could you possibly know?
It was also an AMERICAN Pledge of Allegiance salute before the Nazi's had a similar gesture and then the pledge of allegiance salute was changed to a hand over the heart. To attribute a Nazi salute to him is nothing but the left wing trying to smear him! It's disgusting.
I did not know that... thanks for sharing it. 😉

agree. agree 😂
this is a good one.
haha haha
Dr. Wernher von Braun is channeling his Nazi rocket scientist spirit through Musk?
Did you know that von Braun predicted in his book that a man called Elon would take humans to Mars?
Regardless - it's not a good sign, and symbolic gestures speak volumes.
Yes, I know that. I am just going to let the comments play out here. Interesting.
And yet you are implying by the question that it was that.
And I have followed up with a other piece.
Yes. I saw it. You and I are both Christians, Karen, and we agree on many things. I know you say often that you "pride yourself on being 'honest'," but if you are really being "honest" is that an excuse for being prematurely judgemental and not extending any grace or the benefit of the doubt to someone who has not yet done anything specific to engender that?

Good point !
But it's ok when Democrats do it?
Nazis also skook hands and drank water.
No - not okay. Why would it be ok?
Only Nazis can give a Nazi salute. For anyone else, it is a wave, a salute, a hand gesture.
what makes one a Nazi?
If CNN says so?
You are trying to make something out of nothing. The NAZI, Holocaust thing is over! We haven't forgotten and we don't need constant reminders that only feed other agendas.
C’mon let’s not get carried away!
