Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!
Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn’t fasscy then you’re gonna get wrecked.
Ah yes. Elon’s salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it’s just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it’s a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?
Ah yes it’s a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it’s completely harmless and very mundane.
Oh yes, some people did recognise that the arm gesture in question may have been used by the Romans. Very neutral, we all know the Romans were around a long time ago, so…
I bet this amuses you 😁
You’re clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?
Obviously they’re both doing a Roman Salute!
(Doesn’t even need a /s because the Nazi salute is literally the so-called Roman Salute)
It’s just the
nazifascist salute. There’s no evidence that ancient greeks or romans ever did this.https://www.factchecker.gr/2025/01/28/the-nazi-salute-does-not-have-ancient-greek-or-roman-origins/
From what I read it’s a copy of what Mussolini thought was a Roman Salute, which was just something he got from a painting which was not at all Historically accurate, so it wasn’t actually a salute that the Ancient Romans did.
(I suspect that in Mussolini’s time some people born and living in the city of Rome did that salute, so strictly speaking it could be called a Roman Salute 😜)
However many call it a Roman Salute because that’s what the Fascists thought it was, hence one could say that the Nazi Salute is also called a Roman Salute.
People is going crazy with these b/w filter just to make variations of Elon’s salute.
I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.
During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy
Until they shut it down, Buzzfeed News had become one of the better news organizations.
You won’t believe what this priest did to get fired!
Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.
I’m sure Teen Cosmo has some great coverage as well.
It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.
It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, “It wasn’t a Nazi salute, watch I’ll show you,” and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.
They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.
I’m sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.
They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.
Besides this one, what are the others?
I could use some schadenfreude in my day
This lady who had to resign from her town council after doing it. I thought there was at least one other, but I can’t find it now.
My heart goes out to her.
Edit: Anyone hiring?
“While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson’s heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition,” reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. “Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC.”
This guy worships the “Turn the other cheek” guy, right?
The “love your neighbors” guy?
The “unconditional love” guy?
Just want to make sure I fully understand.
You understand, he… does not
Nah, at the “leadership” level Religion is just another kind of scam.
It’s only the riff-raff who are genuinely believers in that stuff and even those pick and chose the parts of it they follow (you will notice that, for example, almost none of the “believers” in Abrahamic religions care about God’s Commandment against Greed or the lesson of Jesus kicking out the Money Lenders from the Temple).
Well, the great news is that this guy doesn’t look anything like a god-damned villain…
He looks like he stuck his tongue in the toaster.
Maybe just an off day, could be that he just got up on the wrong side of the swastika shaped bed this morning…
If you asked me what Thunderf00t would look like if he became a priest instead of a scientist/youtuber this is what id imagine.
Does anybody know why hes wearing a mic while speaking into another mic?
Musk’s department of government efficiency arranged the A/V for the event
A bunch of fresh high school graduates, got it.
He hates Jews.
To counterbalance the two stick up in his ass
Every picture I’ve seen of him is different, and they’re all awful.
People with no billions to protect them are finding out.
lol! Basically it’s-
Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!
I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.
It’s hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.
He’s not Catholic.
Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)
Not according to the Catholic church. They’re not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.
Huh, very interesting!

So… “let’s be neither of those things by using both of their names at the same time”?
Like all Church schisms it’s “we’re the only ones who are right about how our god is supposed to be worshiped”, so they don’t feel bad about taking the names of Anglicans or Catholics because they think that those other groups are doing religion wrong, so who cares if it’s confusing.
Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone. Thera millions of sects out there that use very similar titles and terminology, it’s not always misleading even if it’s confusing or obscure language.
Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons
The proto-Anglicans stopped being Catholics when King Henry the 8th couldn’t get the pope to annul his marriage, so he split the English church from the Catholic church. So, for 500 years, the Anglicans haven’t been Catholics. And it has nothing to do with “Anglo-Saxons”. Anglo-Saxons are a cultural group from the middle ages. The Church of England and Anglicanism comes from centuries later and applies to the country of England under the king Henry the 8th. The Church of England and/or Anglicanism doesn’t date from the middle ages, it was effectively a political construction due to the king wanting a divorce and not to have to answer to the pope. But, the reasons behind the split don’t really matter as much as the fact that the people following churches related to that split haven’t recognized the authority of the pope for centuries, so they’re not Catholics.
In this case, the name is really misleading because the Anglicans don’t consider them to be Anglican, the Catholics definitely don’t consider them to be Catholics, and you can’t really merge the Anglican and Catholic faiths because they’re so different.
Angelican usually refers to the Church of England, a Protestant denomination.
Gotcha! I had no clue Anglican was a protestant denomination. TIL!
This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.
Say Nazi in the title, you fucking cowards. Sprinkle on some allegedly if you have to. You know goddamn well what it was.
I don’t think it’s cowardice, I think it’s a very purposefully trying to normalizing it.
The irony is, just by looking at him, this is exactly the type of person Hitler wanted to exterminate.
