Summary
Elon Musk rejected accusations of Nazi sympathies in a Fox News interview, calling it “outrageous” and blaming media propaganda.
Critics point to his straight-arm salute at Trump’s rally, endorsement of a German far-right party, and reinstating white supremacist accounts on X.
His cuts to federal agencies under DOGE have sparked protests and vandalism, including nicknaming Teslas “swasticars.”
Musk claims he’s targeted for character assassination and receives daily death threats. He and Lara Trump compared the attacks to those against Donald Trump, accusing mainstream media of spreading lies.

straight-arm salute
It’s called a nazi salute. Don’t spread doubt on what it was. He did it twice in close succession. The only other reason for holding your arm up like that is when you explain how high Blondie, Hitler’s dog, could jump.
‘Nazi’ isn’t a preferable pronounce, it’s what you’re called when you act like a nazi, talk like a nazi and salute like a fucking nazi.
History books will show he said this after the multiple seig heils on stage and telling the AfD to no longer be ashamed of Germany’s past.
What’s really outrageous is that he’s a free man, instead of rotting in some cell for the rest of his life like the Nazi sympathizing psychopath waste of oxygen he is.
Its gonna be a maze.
Wait Joshua was racist??!?
Look guys, just because he bought Twitter and reinstated all the Nazi accounts, and thinks and says Nazi things, and and performed an obvious Nazi salute not once, but twice in a live broadcast to millions of homes, that doesn’t mean he’s a Nazi!
Next thing you will say that this guy is a Nazi;

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Which rich? Because I only hear about some of them.
Let’s start with the ones you always hear about then see if the others fall in line.
Looks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, even rapes like a duck. Why is everyone calling me a duck?
“I need to save Tesla stock so I’ll just lie long enough for people to forget.”
Pretty funny/terrible that there is so much news about all these turds (probably by design) that it becomes exceedingly difficult to search to fact-check older things and bring up previous articles one remembers. Even AI has problems parsing the searches. It is like 1984’s information-deletion theme isn’t even needed. You just create enough noise that the signal gets lost.

Discussing with MailOnline, Errol conveyed his satisfaction at observing Elon own up to his background, stating: “I think for the first time Elon was accepting who he is. Until recently, he’s been a sort of character on a stage.” He then added his thoughts on his sons’ initial political trajectories saying, “When you come from South Africa, Lefties think you’re a Nazi. To succeed, you need to be accepted by them so my sons, [Elon and younger brother Kimbal, a hugely successful restaurateur], started to become these flaming liberals – turning away from South Africa and their roots, which included me. Finally, Elon was embracing his heritage and his destiny,” reported the Mirror.
Of course, “South Africa and their roots” == Apartheid, white nationalism, and all the usual stuff leading up to Fascism and Godwin’s law.
Ignoring the fact that he did what was probably the most vigorous Nazi salute in existence…
- He agreed with a post on Twitter that promoted the antisemetic conspiracy theory that Jewish people “push hatred” against white people
- He doubled down on the great replacement conspiracy theory
- He supports the AfD party which has not-so-subtle Nazi themes in official posters
- He actively created a safe space for Neo Nazis on his platform
- He threatened to sue researchers documenting the rise in hateful tweets
- After the inauguration “gesture”, instead of apologizing he made Nazi-related puns
- He shared a post absolving Hitler of murdering millions of people
It’s not just not outrageous to call him a Nazi, it’s a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to conclude especially when you consider his other behaviour and the kinds of things he supports
Supporting the AfD party, an openly neo-nazi party, and appearing in their events, days after the “roman salute” removed any kind of ambiguity that could exist. He’s a nazi, period. And the only good nazis are dead nazis.
The Roman salute excuse that many of his supporters promoted irks me because of how dishonest it is from the get go. There’s not a single Roman work of art that depicts the salute and it actually originated fairly recently under Mussolini’s National Fascist Party.
Additionally, the Nazis on 4chan et. al. had no problem recognizing the symbol for what it was. It was the pearl-clutching lib enablers who had trouble recognizing it
This post does not mean “voting is useless”, tankies fuck off
It wasn’t, a few years before Mussolini came to power a film came out depicting the Roman Empire, nothing political, but it was known to have inspired Mussolini’s character and public image, and was the first instance of what was known to be the “Roman salute” from which Mussolini borrowed as he was so inspired by the film, it was never historically used by Romans. Ordinary things made an amazing doc on Mussolini and his rise to power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xhwx8z8mJc
i hope he follows his nazi leader
that would be mind blowing
I’d be so happy if he pulled a Lowtax
Lowtax?
Guys, he’s absolutely right, and absolutely worse - Nazis have ideals (however flawed and monstrous) and this POS has none.
He’s an opportunist psychopath with 0 qualms about throwing a Nazi salute if it gets him what he wants. He’s a Nazi sympathizing parasite who’ll fake anything for likes, and the only thing he deserves is to serve as a ridiculed, timeless reminder for future generations the dangers of mindless celebrity worship and billionaires.
I think that he really does have actual nazi ideals and that his apparent lack of ideals is the smokescreen.
Could be, but I personally don’t care to invest any effort in the distinction - if you’re ok cloaking yourself in Nazi garb, you’re a Nazi, full stop.
And Nazi lives don’t matter.
He’s also got ideas, mainly the need to breed more men with his genius DNA. /s
