It isn’t libel or slander to say he did a nazi salute when he did do it. Now calling him a nazi could be libel or slander, but most rationale people will put two and two together.
But an entertaining headline from a so called free speech absolutist, ofc anyone with half a brain cell also knew that whole thing was a lie.
Welp, as predicted. The reason that many news outlets are hesitant to call out Elon is because they know he will precisely do this. There are instances, of course, where news outlets have inherent bias and downplay some far-right activities (The New York Times in the 1920s claimed Hitler had been reformed after prison), but I think on this occasion news outlets have their fears founded. I’m not saying it’s right but that’s just how the world works.
It wasnt a Nazi salute. He was not saluting Hutler and the third reich.
It was an American salute in the spirit of Nazi Germany.
Worth noting that he has not, at any point, denied it was a Nazi salute. Closest thing to a denial he’s done so far is reply, “Thank you,” to an ADL tweet defending him, and he immediately followed that up with a bunch of Nazi puns. Feels like that’s gonna hurt his case.
Make it class action, then, you nazi dork.
He’ll pull the old Pedo Guy defence and say that’s just a friendly wave in South Africa.
Elon Musk is a Pedo Guy.
“I can’t be prejudiced. I’m a white billionaire from old money in South Africa.”
According to the article, Walz said on MSNBC
“We spent three days debating, or trying to debate that ‘President Musk’ gave a Nazi salute. Of course he did”
Then one of Musk’s Xitter followers said “I hope Elon sues [Walz] for all he’s worth.” to which Musk replied “I think I will”.
So, Musk was just talking out his ass, and it’s doubtful he’ll actually file suit.
This has all got me thinking, how else can Musk be manipulated? Exacerbating cat fights in the administration and surrounding MAGAsphere seems like one of the most promising ways to prevent them from doing too much damage.

Ok but… It’s not an accusation. He did do that.
Twice.
…and then he made holocaust jokes
…and then he attended a German Nazi rally
…and then the administration he works with announced a concentration camp for undesirable immigrants
In any decent country, this would go to court and Musk would be a laughing stock. In America though? That idiot might win.
Hey Felon Musk, if you don’t want people accusing you of being a Nazi, then don’t do Nazi shit. It’s not a hard concept to understand once you pull your head out of your ass.
But he does want it.
Agreed, anything to get attention.
Public figure “freeze peach” absolutist Elon Musk thinks the first amendment is his little bitch.
“Let’s essentially tell trans people to kill themselves but when I do two full-throated heils at inauguration live, how dare you call them what they are.”
I hope he free speech’s his way to a bullet.
Discovery demands all Elon’s private messages that could be antisemitic.
As a Minnesotan, I’m cool with spending my money to air the Nazi’s dirty laundry.
And all IP addresses of all Twitter users to find all his sock puppets he uses to be even more antisemitic with.
This is the real tea tbh. We all know what his main account is doing. Show us the alts he uses when he doesn’t feel comfortable being fashy on main.
Private messages from a person who owns the website…
It was a nazi salute done by a nazi to a nazi in a room full of nazis… I am not sure what else you would call it.
nobody thinks it wasn’t a nazi salute, but some people will argue that it wasn’t as a form of trolling… get you to spend energy arguing pointlessly instead of doing things that change things
I can’t wait for a court to rule that he did in fact do a Nazi salute.
But then again, the Texas 5th Circuit Court won’t rule that way and we all know it.
Is he going to sue everyone else with eyes too? It’s not an accusation. You did it, stand by it.
I hope the Nazi does, so he has to describe how elon’s Nazi salute and the Nazis doing the Nazi salute are different.
