Elon Musk Gives Nazi Salute at Trump Inauguration

I don’t have many printable words left to write about Elon Musk, humanity’s most worthless, broken and lonely human. This is not a carbon copy of a Nazi salute he did today at Donald Trump’s inauguration, but it’s also not not a Nazi salute from a man whose wealth and heritage grew from the part of South Africa imposing its apartheid and who loves to lie and spin up racial panics.

I’m sure he’ll come up with some bullshit excuse for this. It’s how the Republicans operate. They do the things that Hitler said he liked about America, then act all offended when they get called out on this historical fact and then accuse people of trying to cancel them. He’ll probably say he was just doing something harmless like grabbing his heart and putting it towards the people. Elon is the most internet-poisoned edgelord on the planet who has wasted a significant chunk of his life on 4chan, he surely knows exactly what he’s doing here even if there’s a non-zero chance he’s on autopilot today and his ketamine brain is doing it for him.

Here’s a quick history lesson from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for those who aren’t familiar with one of the defining images of the 20th century.

The only thing bringing me any kind of happiness today is knowing that this is probably the greatest day of Elon Musk’s life, and he’s still the most miserable human on the planet. Fuck this piece of shit.

UPDATE: I had erred in the initial title of including “seems” so that got cut quickly after publishing. I had intended to hedge in the title, which is why I left “-style” in, because I saw the move to the chest and out in the context the classic Republican flooding the zone with shit strategy I alluded to in the first sentences after the video of Elon doing the Nazi salute. By not exactly but mostly exactly doing what we know they’re doing, they help build a defense they exploit for their own gain in our fundamentally broken media and political systems. I try not to play into it, or invite burdensome attacks on to us.

I am now changing the title to “Elon Musk gives Nazi salute at Trump inauguration” because neo-Nazis afterwards said they absolutely love this and think it’s exactly what it looks like, and now I feel that there is no longer a need to hedge or avoid playing into classic Republican bad faith politics. Nazis think Elon did a Nazi salute because Elon did a Nazi salute.
