You know what the worst part of this is? This run of western fascism doesn’t even have the aesthetics to make it palatable. That “seig heil” was so fucking uncoordinated it made the Australian break dancing lady look like a prima ballerina. Everyone is dressed like they bought clothes from the bargain bin at Ross. The decorations are giving mid-budget state fair.
We’re gonna be ethnically cleansed by old, poorly dressed, unatheltic losers 😭
At least the nazis had cool leather jackets
Designed by Hugo Boss. One of the many companies that profited immensely from and supported nazism ferociously.
Not designed by Hugo Boss. They were only one of many manufacturers (the main one ). It was designed by Karl Diebitsch.
Diebitsch
I honestly don’t know if this is a real name or a joke.
Many pieces of Nazi wardrobe were designed by Hugo Boss. I don’t even mean the company name, the person named Hugo Boss - founder of the company and member of the Nazi party.
It’s ridiculous to even attempt to minimise their role here.
It doesn’t feel like you read your own thing
“An der Entwicklung der Schnittmuster für die Uniformen waren die Unternehmen nicht beteiligt.” “Im zentralen Fachblatt für die Uniformherstellung, dem “Uniformen-Markt” tauche das schwäbische Unternehmen “kein einziges Mal” auf.”"
Nobody denies that he was a Nazi, he just wasn’t a large manufacturer or high up in the party machinery.

I feel like the worst part of this was the ADL defended him.
The ADL calling the keffiyeh a symbol for antisemitism while defending Elon “throwing his heart to the audience” solidifies what many progressives have already known about them.
Lol, of course they did. It’s not like he called for a free Palestine or anything
Are they for real?!
They’re for real Nazi supporters
Nah, there’s gonna be bodies on both sides if they think they’re gonna try any of that shit. Something the KKK Nazi Russian Mafia lover fucks forgot, they aren’t the only ones packing heat.
My biggest fear now, is the Republicans trying to do something so outrageous, that someone of some importance finally fucking snaps. And there’s a legitimate coup. Like Military action on Panama or Greenland, that is legitimate civil war sparking stuff.
We’re gonna be ethnically cleansed by old, poorly dressed, unatheltic losers 😭
Specifically because they have accumulated so much wealth that they can pay people to do terrible things in seemingly unterrible ways.
People forget that a large portion of the original Nazis were hardened WWI vets, not soft plutocrat tech bros.
I think the cheap decorations were on purpose. All that money for his inauguration and he’s going to pocket as much as possible. So Tim Cook, Schmuckerburg, and whoever else that donated $1 million EACH to his fund, and they’re going to skimp on as much as possible and cut as many corners as possible so he can put that money in the bank. Don’t forget there are several cities and organizations that he still hasn’t paid for his rallies.
He pocketed $170 million today

Ehhh that’s just trump change ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Schmuckerburg is a great name omg
TBH they will probably send their murder drones to do the dirty work.
We’re going to have to develop anti-drone tactics.
Unless it’s set to shoot at anything moving it’s going to be pretty shit. And once the targeting is that wide open you just get a tennis ball machine and waste it’s ammo.
drones don’t need precision they are a terror weapon…
I’m fully aware of what drones are capable of.
The Ukraine conflict has reports of explosive laden drones that use facial recognition software to autonomously dive bomb and detonate on targets. I can dig up the source if requested.
We’re truly on the worst timeline. And israel has its lavender ai program that comes up with “targets”. I put that in quotations because despite having targets (of dubious authenticity) israel still carpet bombed the whole place.
Which is about how AI targeting goes these days.
Facial recognition is pretty easily tricked though. Just because it’s working on the Russians does not mean it will work everywhere.
Hugo Boss is still around, I’m sure they would be willing to reprise their previous role 👍🏻
Palatable fascism based on looks?
Yeah. Fuck this take. You’re watering it down and fuck that viewpoint.
Both the censorship and promotion of specific art and aesthetics were a big part Hitler’s plans to make fascism palatable in Germany and Italy, if you take one art history course you’d know this. Many public works you can tour to this day in those countries come from that era.
This isn’t a support of fascism, it’s a critique on how empty and vapid the new technocratic class is and how that’s a reflection of our society in general at this moment.
He did a second one that seemed far more coordinated in terms of its posture.
Is this supposed to be funny, or are you a bot trying to normalize how fucked up this is?
Calling me a bot for a dark observation when I clearly state I’m one of the people slated to be in line for the ethnic cleansing sure is a choice. But I’ll explain my reasoning and give you the good faith you didn’t give me.
Art and aesthetics were a big part of Nazi Germany. Many Nazi Party Germans got to look at beautiful works of art and enjoy public works in the Greco-Roman style as they were supporting shipping of Jewish people and minorities to concentration camps. The technocrats this time around haven’t even given their supporters that. Instead we get infighting and outrage on social media.
That’s what my comment was making fun of.
“MildlyInfuriating”
Nah, this belongs in “ActuallyHorrifying”
Yeah I figured we had a year or two at least before slowly taking off the mask and showing the true fascism. This was just right out of the gate.
The mask has been slowly coming off for at least 15 years. If you haven’t noticed and this seems like a surprise, I honestly don’t know what to say.
The nazis are wasting no time gloating.
I guess don’t visit the new https://www.whitehouse.gov/ then.
Is that a fucking movie trailer? Wtaf
I wish I could say we just gotta wait 4 years but I wouldn’t believe if I said it. The US is past a fucking joke. Just… Fucking dammit…
Jebus.
The only good nazis are dead nazis.
Looked this up as I optimistically thought it might be an unfortunate still that looked nothing like a nazi salute on video, but nope.
Well, he must have fallen out of the headlines for a day.
I’m calling it, to keep outdoing himself he’s going to openly and seriously start suggesting nuking things.
- Don’t infantilise him. He’s not attention-starved, he’s a Nazi.
- Did everyone forget Trump already did that during his first term??? I am going absolutely insane. We know he will threaten to nuke anyone and everyone. And right now the odds aren’t looking good that he won’t actually do it. That’s my call. Nuclear war. People called me crazy in 2020 when I called Trump a fascist, and my worst predictions will be proven right again because everyone seems to be dead-set on downplaying the actions of these Nazi lunatics and acting surprised when they pull through with a Nazi promise which only emboldens them.
Trumps a fascist but I think he’s bluffing about nukes. He’s been consistently anti war since before entering politics and he knows he doesn’t want to be a king amongst rubble.
I think Trump is the kind of person who thinks the world is better off ending with him than going on without him. Nothing matters if he isn’t there to enjoy it; the true heart of narcissism.
I mean hes old AF, living his remaining 2 years in a luxuary presidential bunker isn’t that bad of a retirement plan.
Vance, however, probably doesn’t want to live decades in some bunker, so the only way to stop a crazy nuke-happy fascist seems to be a less crazy fascist (via 25th amendment). 🤦♂️
“Mr. President, there was a nuclear detonation over Kiev”
“Did we do it?”
“No Sir, it seem to have been the Americans”
(obviously this conversation would be in Russian, but most of us here don’t speak/read Russian so here’s the English version)
“so yes”
Elon: If I can’t nuke Mars, I will order Trump to nuke Earth instead.
I wouldn’t put it past Musk to be planning on a nuke strike somewhere to boost investment in SpaceX. “See, life on earth is fragile, we have to be able to leave (if you’re rich enough)!”
Something something bronterocs
I am actually speechless.
he adds “my heart goes out to you”, so it was actually just Elon being really fucking stupid again
I litterly followed the same train But bro it’s undeniable
Here’s a gif
Just… blatant. Plenty of time lingering on it. No cute pretending-to-fix-the-hair. Just an obvious, blatant nazi salute.
what was he saluting when he turned around? Trump? I cant find a better angle.
He’s saluting the crowd for their support
Some of the audience was behind him. He just really wanted to get the message across 😒
Gotta love the Murdoch media…
If he did it once, sure could be argued to be accidental, but he did it pretty forcefully, multiple times, and he baaaaarely has plausible deniability that he didn’t mean this as a wink wink to the neo-nazis.
I wish. 😞
What was the context, in terms of his speech? Did he say something right before this or after it?
“Thank you. My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured, thanks to you.” - Elon Musk
Then he did the seig heil salute. Just in case people are still confused, here’s Hitler’s own words from Mein Kampf on saving civilization.
“All the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out, as a result of contamination of the blood.” - Hitler
So people told me I was being an overdramatic dick when I pointed the multiple similarities between the rise of Hitler and Trump and how the Nazis are coming back.
They’re back, out and disgustingly proud.
I’ll be showing them the footage and awaiting their bullshittery gymnastics. Wonder how they will spin it.
What a dumb fucking cunt. I hope he dies a terrible death. Rather sooner than later.
Let’s hope somebody pulls a Luigi one.
The world would be an objectively better place if someone took this subhuman scum out. Half a fucking trillion dollars and it’s still not enough for him. These scumbags always need more and more.
I’m betting on an overdose. Ketamine, cocaine, amphetamine… whatever the shit is, I’m not an expert.
Can we get him to hire Micheal Jackson’s old doctor?
Ideally in his malfunctioning Tesla for chefs kiss
What’s funny (not really) it’s the media calling it a “nazi style salute” or “a gesture that looked like a nazi salute”.
Their head is so far up their asses that they can’t even call it what it was.
not mildly infuriating. it’s very infuriating
Real talk.
The richest men on the planet Earth are surrounding and and giving gifts/favors to a man who holds the highest position in a World Superpower with one of the largest militaries on the planet.
What can we realistically do to fight a possible incoming Nazi regime?
A 14 years old edgelord who also happens to be the richest man in the world, to own a social network with which to manipulate public opinion. He has just bought the US presidency.
Welp! I didn’t have “President gives Nazi salute” on my bingo card…
You didn’t?
Yeah, rookie mistakes given we already know who is elected.
Look man. I don’t know what to tell you. I know trump was already president from 2017-2021, but that still doesn’t feel real. The idea of trump is president feels…not real. It feels like a plot from a tv show. And not even a GOOD tv show. Some show that nobody watches because “ugh, this is crap…change the channel!”
Except we CAN’T change the channel. And by popular vote Americans have decided they don’t WANT to change the channel. And you’re just handcuffed to your chair, forced to watch this bad reality all around you.
It’s like being on a roller coaster that you know has a 100% chance of flying off the rails. But you’re still on it. Knowing disaster awaits, as we’ve spent the last 3 months climbing the anticipation hill, except now it’s time to go flying off the rails. Here it comes!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee…
I want to get off Mr. Bones’s Wild Ride.
We’re all on Mr Bones’ Wild Ride now. At least we’re in good company 🫂
I don’t know how to tell you this, but you can’t get off
Like wearing a chastity belt…
At least there is some kind of positive intent or consent (usually), not so on Mr.Bones’ Wild Ride
Normalcy bias is a bitch. Congratulations on at least being aware of how not normal the situation is intellectually, it seems most people aren’t getting that far.
He once were in Poland visiting the concentration camp Ausschwitz with his son. He has nothing learned about this visit. It’s a disgusting man. And it’s high time to arrest him. Ban him. Take all his money and assets and put it for good use. Or send him to mars. Immediately. Solo mission.
I was under the impression maybe a mistake but dude did it twice.
I watched the clip assuming this was taken way out of context, nope, he did it twice…
