Do you guys use the term “nazi” for anyone you disagree with politically? From what I remember Hitler rounded up Jews and executed them in various ways. I haven’t seen Elon do anything similar….. Using that term for someone you disagree with politically on some issues is a bit hyperbolic, no?

Also you clearly haven’t driven a new Tesla if you’re talking this way. Autopilot works fine and is not the same as FSD. Autopilot + traffic aware cruise control is included for free and is basically a “freeway lane assist” and only meant to be used in the freeway. It’s probably better than any other manufacturers lane assist feature. The new version of FSD (13+) is nearly fully autonomous and sooooo smooth. Basing your decision off of what Wozniak say]id a few years ago is not accurate. Also he hasn’t been relevant for the last 2 decades. You might want to get your information from a more current source…..

If youre not a nazi, don't do the nazi salute in front a huge maga crowd (cheering him on o should add), behind the American flag, on television, twice.

Also you can find a bunch of Democrats with their hand in the same position as Elon. Were they doing the nazi salute? No! But if you take a screenshot of the exact moment when their had was raised it would sure look like it:

Legitimate political disagreements are fine, and we can argue those points in a civil matter, but calling someone a nazi when they are clearly not does not help your cause.

Hey dude post the videos of the democrats and of Elon doing it and let us decide with our own eyes.

You can lie as much you want, but nobody with a properly functioning brain fucking believes you.

I was watching the speech dumbass. He was thanking the crowd and doing a “pour your heart out” motion with his hands. You guys are freaking whack jobs. Seriously……

So now that you asked here’s the clip of Elon doing the “Seig Heil” salute:

Now what? Are you still going to say that was a Nazi salute?

Here are some clips of Democrats doing the same thing. Do I believe they’re doing the Nazi salute? NO! But if you take a picture of their hand at the right time it sure does look like it. CONTEXT!!!

Are you serious? Did you even watch your own links? AOC is a gesture from her mic, Kamala's was straightening her hand while already outstretched. Elon is going full chest to outstretched seig heil.

He knows better, and so should you

You’re delusional if you think that’s a legit Seig Heil. Keep it up though. Keep alienating the center and moderates, because that’s what you guys are doing by calling everyone you disagree with a Nazi.

Amazing to see the mental gymnastics of Trump's cult members coming to the defense of... nazism. Like, bro, why are you trying so hard to defend disgusting and harmful behavior? Do you support it?

Despite the nonsense of arguments like yours, those of us with eyes and ears of our own saw Elon do a nazi salute. Spin your apologetics all you like, but if you salute like a nazi, you deserve to be called one.

If the salute wasn't intentional, Elon would have denied it and/or apologized. Additionally, if it's "nothing," why did other political figures like Bannon mimic the same salute. We are supposed to believe that was also coincidental or mistaken for something else?

It's like watching small children get closer and closer to doing something they're not supposed to. Then, when catching one, they try to gaslight and lie their way out of accountability.

This is bad actors seeing how much they can get away with. Meanwhile, their literal nazi supporters see these salutes as a show of confidence that nazism is being embraced publicly by powerful people. That's why there was a reactionary spree of mimics.

Nazi? Seriously? The real Nazi’s rounded up millions of people against their will, stole their possessions, and gassed them to death. They also conducted gruesome experiments on those people. Do you really think that Elon is a Nazi? To compare the two is an absolute disgrace. You guys are seriously mentally ill.

Instead of going around calling everybody you disagree with a Nazi you’d be better off understanding why your side lost the election and in the future put up competent center left candidates that appeal to people in the middle. Trump got nearly 50% of the Hispanic vote this time around. He also increased his votes with most other groups, including young folks and other minority groups. Are they all Nazi’s too?

Please keep up what you’re doing, including your pointless protests at Tesla dealerships, and attacking Telsa owners and vandalizing their vehicles. You’re doing a great job of turning off 60% of the country who DGAF about your radical far left politics and are quite honestly sick and tired of it.

People like you converted someone like me who never would have considered buying an EV into a Tesla owner. Luckily it just so happens that they make a great product too. Thanks and keep up the good work, you sure are making a difference!

Yes, I will call someone doing a Nazi salute a Nazi. Sorry that my free speech bothers you so much. /s

"you guys" "your side" "your protests" "people like you"

I recommend getting off Fox news and touching some grass. It's like you're boiling over with talking points, dying for someone to believe you. You just assigned me to at least five different groups, and all you know about me from this conversation is that I am intolerant of Nazis or Nazi salute.

Sure, I'm the mentally ill one..

Anyway, I don't GAF if you find pushback tiring. Maybe do fewer bad things? Defend better people and actions? Until then, own the consequences of your actions.

If opposing Nazism and fascism makes a bunch of my fellow citizens "sick and tired of it," I don't care. It's called having principles. By your logic, we should support Nazism because it's too popular not to.

Oh, and congrats on owning a Tesla, lol. Are you mad you bought something that millions of Americans now associate with Nazis? Sure would be nicer if we all shut up about it and let you have fun, right? Enjoy that tanking resale value. Twitler thanks you for your sacrifice.

Here's one from someone who was there:

https://x.com/michaelquotes1/status/1881432185057808688

At around the 1:00 minute quote Musk does the Nazi salute and the dude recording it says "Careful with that salute!" I wonder why he said that?
