Musk's Nazi salute

Elon Musk has taken to X to make a slew of Nazi jokes, fresh from having to bat away suggestions that he did a fascist salute on President Donald Trump’s inauguration day.

With the world’s eyes on the MAGA boss’ post-ceremony rally Monday, Musk took to the stage and gave a brief speech where he thanked the crowd for their support, before beating his chest and throwing his arm out straight.

And after a collective thud of jaws on the floor across the U.S. and beyond, the tech billionaire repeated the gesture. He has since defended it as a my “heart goes out to you” gesture and railed against anyone who has tried to suggest otherwise. The MAGAverse has defended the gesture as being an accidental motion made by an awkward and excited man, definitely NOT a Nazi, Roman, or even remotely fascist salute.

His estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, was not so forgiving. She did not mention her billionaire dad by name but made clear who she was referring to in an explicit string of posts on Threads on Tuesday.

“I’m just gonna say let’s call a spade a f---ing spade,” she said. “Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade.”

It won't be long before they readily admit to throwing Nazi salutes.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

"I am not a Nazi," Robinson insisted in an X post as he revealed he’d received hundreds of "nasty" calls and messages over the incident.

Robinson [claimed] he was "mocking hysterical liberals" who had accused Musk of being a Nazi. "Context is key, but sometimes people ignore context to confirm their own prejudices," he said.
