It's still so crazy that this WASN'T a huge fucking wake-up call to a lot of people.

Tesla ran a bunch of discounts a couple months after he did this and I saw so many new Teslas with temp tags. Some even had the "I bought this before Elon went crazy" sticker.

People don't care when money is involved

That post that said a tesla is like if your printer was a car was golden. Imagine your car not unlocking when it's on fire because of some malfunction. Buying a tesla is like inviting yourself into a Saw movie.

How they enjoy the inflation that's causing the price of everything to go up.

He was throwing his heart out! /s

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

This was so bat shit insane to me. I spoke with multiple people that swore up and down it was a heart warming gesture and everyone was being ridiculous for even suggesting it looked like a Nazi salute. If there was an Olympic event for sig heiling, this shit would have gotten the gold medal. Perfect 10's across the board. The second one was a little weak tho. Maybe like 7.3/10

It didn't matter what he said it was, they were always going to parrot it for him

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 61 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's feeling some kind of pressure from that photo.

Too bad. Keep sharing

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 month ago

Your repeated, emphatic Nazi salutes are not something you want being discussed right before you have an IPO.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But 'twas a harmless "Mein heart goes out to you" gesture, was it not, Musk Führer?

He doesn't get enough abuse for doing the Mussolini face at the same time.

The more thing change the more they stay the same.

Emo Musk

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

No liberty like nazism

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

i read cringe instead of change and i think both readings are valid

[–] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Nazi asshole lives in a bubble surrounded by other Nazis and thought the majority of the country would sieg heil right along with him.

the majority of the country

If a third of the country sieg heils while another third just stands around "both sides"ing the situation, you might as well have a majority sieg heiling.

Also Musk was such a creepy guy that he was ghosted by Epstein.

Hey, buddy. Cock suckers perform an important role in society. Comparing elon to them is an insult to them.

[–] collectif_imaginaire@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah exactly,

Sucking cock is no crime nor sin, and using this expression spreads hate towards cock-loving fellows. You can use shit-tank or piss-reservoir, and it will be fine 

(This is from the staff @laderniere on radio Nova in France)

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

every single one of us has shit tank and piss reservoir in our bodies, what is wrong with that?

[–] diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Its kinda ironic that nazis would have sent him to camps because of his autism and drug abuse. He looked terrible before all those cosmetic surgeries. He is not ubermensch. Too bad he has all the power in todays world.

[–] FoxtrotDeltaTango@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m moderately autistic and I hate Elon musk

[–] modus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'm a neonazi billionaire capitalist and I hate Elon Musk.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

This was a year ago, FYI.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 10 points 1 month ago

If watching Musk do the salute (twice) wasn't enough, the fact he wants video of it removed is actually proof that it was a Sieg Heil salute. If he actually believed he did nothing wrong and was misunderstood, he would have apologized, denounced Nazism, and stuck to his guns. Instead, he's doing the billionaire thing of throwing his weight around and trying to remove the evidence...

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

How 'bout he just go off and fuck himself instead?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

This is the second year-old thread about Reddit you've crossposted, OP. What's the deal?

[–] GeraldOfHillwood@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I wonder if he knows about this Nazi Musks Fuck Off shirt. Maybe if more people start wearing it, he'll find out. https://alternativetentacles.com/collections/t-shirts/products/nazi-musk-fuck-off-tee

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

Keep funding him USA. He's a nasty shit nazi but you keep giving him credit. You've only yourselves to blame.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

*nazi cock sucker

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago
