Summary
Elon Musk is considering suing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after Walz accused him of performing a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration.
Musk’s gesture, where he placed his hand on his heart before extending his arm outward, sparked controversy due to its resemblance to historical fascist salutes.
The Anti-Defamation League deemed it an “awkward gesture” rather than a Nazi salute but acknowledged public concern.
Musk, who owns X (formerly Twitter), responded to calls for legal action by saying, “I think I will.”
At least we’d have a legal definition of nazi
Elmo Musk is considering suing me after accusing water of making things wet.
this salute?
Yep I hope he does bring that lawsuit so that the video of his multiple nazi salutes will have to be seen in court as evidence
I never knew Hitler was so heartful.
Yes, that Nazi salute done by insecure little cock gobbler Elon Musk.
That’s an insult to any and all cock gobblers.
Just an awkward arm gesture, like that awkward Mr. Hitler kept doing.

Yes, that salute. The salute Nazis do. The salute specifically for Nazis. The Nazi salute.
And then he turned around inside of 5 seconds and did it again towards where
die FührerTrump was standing. TOTALLY not a Nazi thing, bro, just trust me.🫠
lol how it isn’t a Nazi salute
Trump will change it to Salute of America.
Come on now, it’ll be the Trump Salute
Same thing tbh.
not many people know this but nazis and Hitler actually stoll it from us. Lots of people are saying this now that we should take it back
Actions speak louder than words
Funny that this group keeps accusing dems of politicizing the legal system.
But he did give a Nazi salute.
Do it coward
And this is why every state needs anti-slapp laws.
Thing is, we all saw the nazi salute.
Don’t believe your lying eyes
Salutes
Do it, ya little piggie.
More people should call him out so he can waste his money and time in court.
It’s a nice thought, but:
- I doubt he’ll be using his money for this frivolous lawsuit
- It would also waste Walz’s and/or Minnesota’s money as well as any other defendants
- Good luck getting him to pay up if you try to countersue for damages / legal fees.
Couldn’t someone argue Musk’s dual-citizenship could be grounds for moving this from civil to federal; wouldn’t diverse citizenship apply here?
Lololol.
Lonny may actually autistic after all.
How is this autism?
Maybe he meant Auschwism?
He is clearly not understanding the social cues surrounding this issue.
You clearly haven’t sucked his tiny sick long enough, pony lover.
What? He knows what he did.
Yes, and he thinks he’ll win a lawsuit against someone for calling him out, which is foolish. He clearly is not reading the temperature on the issue correctly.
Just because he claims autism doesn’t mean his billionaire bully behaviour can be placed on that.
How many autistic people sue in this situation and how many rich babies do the same?
First off: my comment was clearly joking.
Second: his claims of autism have been widely challenged, even by his own close friends and family. He early uses it as a smokescreen defense to lie, cheat, steal, and just generally be an awful human.
Hey, not all jokes are funny, so maybe just let it go?
The Streisand effect never fails. Let the comparisons between his “awkward gesture” and nazi salutes flow free over all forms of media:

does mastodon not let users save gifs from it?
I’m on mobile (voyager), I tapped the link and it opened in the generic browser and I could save with long press, so i guess copy paste the link to a browser if you want to save atuff
Exactly the same process I tried - however long pressing seems to just highlight random parts of the page, like the icon on the bottom left instead. Ended up saving it on my desktop instead. Thanks though!
From what I know about Walz, he’ll say something like this:
“Back when I was a teacher, we had a very well defined protocol for dealing with troublesome students like this. Kids do and say stupid stuff all the time. Threats aren’t tolerated, but if the threat is something that won’t really have an effect the response is simple: ok, do it. Otherwise we ignore them and they usually get bored or angrier to really get themselves in trouble.”
Truth is the ultimate defense.
