“Fascist Salute”

PBS says Elon Musk gave a fascist salute when he waved to the crowd.

(6) PBS News on X: “Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena. “Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just https://t.co/K8Fo0sdozL” / X

    In whatever arena Elon’s complete heart-to-outstretched toss gesture took place, how many people actually believe Hitler was a great guy? You could pack the amount into a phone booth. How many in the arena would say the ironically named “Anti-fa” group (which entirely embraces pro-fascist tyranny) are a security threat to us all? Quite likely everyone in the arena, minus a number which could be packed into a phone booth. Meanwhile, take the outstretched arm & closed fist gesture of Antifa members, uncurl their fingers, and what do you see?

      Russell, I understood your comment being that I’m an old guy but I think half the readers are probably asking themselves what’s a phone booth? lol

      • Terry Shipman says:

        A phone booth is a structure used as a rest room. I know because early in my career with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Newport Arkansas I occasionally did repair work on pay phones.

        • Bob G says:

          Did the phone company provide the toilet paper? well duh, I just realized that they did, it was called the phone book. lol

      • Russell Cook says:

        Yep, right after I posted that, I thought to myself, “I haven’t actually seen a phone booth in years. Or even a pay phone itself, for that matter.” But if some young ‘un refers to whatever tiny space the current pop culture people can fit in, all of us old-guys-yelling-at-clouds would respond with “pack into a what?” Heavy sigh. I miss the 1980s.

      The ipen hand is the fascist salute. The clenched fist is the commie salute. Otherwise, no difference.

      • Yonason says:

        ….but, Elon wasn’t going for either.
        https://lidblog.com/the-left-is-lying-again-elon-musk-did-not-give-any-nazi-salute/

        Lefty media lying again.

        • Russell Cook says:

          All true, where both power salutes from both sets of tyrants are signals to the oppressed not to stand in the way of their power, while Elon had no such bad intent at all. If enough of the public castigates the idiots putting out that kind of lame accusation, the idiots might figure out how to self-censor some of their trash a bit more to avoid embarrassment. The late Rush Limbaugh said the leftist zealots always test where the limits of their boundaries are, and it looks like they overshot the boundary on this latest effort.

  2. Bob G says:

    If you look at the Elon Musk photo closely you’ll see his fingers are almost straight up, which clearly shows he’s waving to the crowd. The photos of all the Democrats are also misunderstood. Their fingers are not straight up so they’re obviously not waving but nor are they saluting. They were all asked the same question, which was how much do I suck? They raised their hands to indicate that they suck this much. lol.

    A desperate and childish assertion on the part of PBS, they and NPR need to lose federal funding.

    • Yonason says:

      I do so hope there’s an exocutive order for that! ?

      • arn says:

        You can’t be pro free speech and ask for EO’s to stop the lies.
        Then you can stop any kind of speech with that.

        The problem is that the left has monopolised legacy media
        and that has to change to in order to get a balance.

        And in terms of Musk.

        He was not a Nazi when he opened his Satellite network to Nazi Ukraine so they can easier kill Russians.
        But he was a Zionist sellout just a few month ago when he met
        Nathanyahou.
        And now all of a sudden he is Hitler.
        (proving my point that in this day and age you ain’t a good person if noone ever called you Hitler).
        And on top of that all,
        dude is known to be Autistic which comes along with certain advantages and disadvantages .
        That’s why he stutters when he gets overwhelmed with data and why his bodymovement shifts into robotics as result of freezing and trying to compensate it.
        ( people with his handycap usually avoid even small crowds whenever they can and do not speak in front of thousands.)

        But at least I know now that the great western? movie
        Jeremiah Johnson was not about Trappers and Indians
        as at the very end Jeremiah and the Crow dude Nazi salute each other.
        Thank you PBS .

        • Tel says:

          Sure you can be pro free speech and determined not to have your money stolen and given to people who hate you.

          Nothing contradictory about that … PBS and NPR can still have plenty of free speech without government funding. They just need to run on donations like many other political organisations do.

        • arn says:

          @Tel
          You are correct if he meant it that way.

          I understood his comment in terms
          of “EO to shut them down from saying things he does not like”,
          because I think an EO is not really necessary to shut down government funding.
          I also think that you don’t need an EO or stop funding NASA and shut them completely down
          because they talk climate crap.
          A change in staff and structure should be the first approach.

    Whenever one thinks quality media and the woke can not sink any lower
    they open up a whole new dimension of low.

    I’m really impressed.

    On the other hand it gets obvious why the left is so miserable and suicidal.
    Every day a new rule one has to follow to not become Hitler.
    OK sign = racist.
    Waving = Nazi.
    Breathing – we have a tax for that.
    Whoever follows the MSM and big tech blindly and trying to stay a puritian woke is lost – and there is no remedy or cure.

    I really wonder how many times PBS reported in the last 2 yrars about the actual Nazis in Ukraine
    with Nazi tattoos,Nazi Emblems,Battalions with Nazi names
    and standard fascist salutes,
    considering how “shocked ” they pretend to be by Musks salute.

    The positive thing now is:
    They picked the worst possible person for their lies,
    as he can hit way harder back (and instantly)than anyone else
    and instrumentalize their lies against them
    by exposing it to the whole world –
    and there is no more Biden to protect them.

    Funny Note :
    Every single time Kamala was babbling her ” unburdened by what has been ”
    pseudointellectual BS she did Musks fascist salute.

    And back in the 70’s NPR used to push anarchic crap like “The Great Atlantic Radio Conspiracy”
    https://www.anarchistfederation.net/howard-ehrlich-on-social-anarchism/
    Such Hypocrisy!

  6. Francis Barnett says:

    The gesture made by Elon Musk is not in any way similar to a Nazi salute.
    The Nazi Salute is formed by the right arm being held, raised, directly in front of you.
    Elon’s salute was probably just a wave similar to a Roman salute, which was copied and modified by the Nazis in the 1930’s and 40’s.
    Musk’s reply is all :-
    “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”

  7. conrad ziefle says:

    They do play to the stupid. From what I’ve seen, a Nazi salute would be square with the chest, ie arm at right angles. And there is a little phrase uttered to make it clear. I still think that PBS needs to be neutral to get government funding. Also maybe Elon can own them now?

  8. Peter Carroll says:

    Will everyone against the “fascist” salute, raise your right arm!

    In case anyone missed this tweet: https://x.com/netanyahu/status/1882392668497756279
    ——————————————-
    Benjamin Netanyahu – ?????? ??????
    @netanyahu
    .@elonmusk is being falsely smeared.

    Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.

    I thank him for this.”
