He thought it was opposites day
Opposites year.
He has not.
Well to help convince us you could denounce all Nazis and racial hatred, especially on your social platform.
We’re still waiting.
It's because you did the nazi salute. Do you remember that you did the nazi salute when the faschist government took over?
Nhaaa.... Just because you do the nazi salute position yourself in a place of authority inside our current fascist government and support it's politics and agendas even make Buddy buddy with its leader doesn't necessarily make you a fascist yourself... Right?
Not necessarily, maybe he is trying to hint that he is a kind of mole inside man that wants to secretly save some of the immigrants and go down in history as a hero? Sigh.. But then why the chainsaw... Unless? Yeah. That's my new cope
Shouldn't have made that salute then, nor throw your support and your weird fans behind the AfD and Tommy Robinson.
Or keep suspiciously quiet when asked about the Nazi salute. I still have yet to hear him denounce the Nazis.
Hear me out, he is preparing ground for media reform.
Well elon a start would be saying on live tv
"I am not a nazi. I detest everything nazis stand for. White supremacy is bad"
That would be a start
A start would have been not throwing a nazi salute.
twice in a row.
Nazi says what?
It's because he prefers NaXi
Well to be fair, he's certainly obNaXious
Don't want to be accused of being a Nazi, then don't fucking act like one you stupid cunt.
If you're looking for sympathy you can look elsewhere.
Condemn white supremacy then
I will stop calling him a Nazi the moment he takes his ass to Mars and stays there forever.
He doesn’t want to go to Mars himself. He wants to get all the undesirables to go there.
Then he'd just be a Martian nazi.
Bro literally intentionally does a Nazi salute on TV and then whines when people say he's a Nazi...
That's because he doesn't understand consequences
Oh, he understands the consequences. Everything he's saying now is an act. He's lying now, he lies constantly, and he relies on people not pointing it out.
He's starting to experience them at least.
No because in his deluded mind he believes he's the target of harassment.
Unfortunately I don't think a lot of people in my country do...
He's had ample time to apologize, still hasn't.
straight-arm salute
It's called a nazi salute. Don't spread doubt on what it was. He did it twice in close succession. The only other reason for holding your arm up like that is when you explain how high Blondie, Hitler's dog, could jump.
'Nazi' isn't a preferable pronounce, it's what you're called when you act like a nazi, talk like a nazi and salute like a fucking nazi.
It's outrageous to claim he isn't a nazi
"How dare you say I'm a Nazi" ... but has never said he wasnt.
Ignoring the fact that he did what was probably the most vigorous Nazi salute in existence...
- He agreed with a post on Twitter that promoted the antisemetic conspiracy theory that Jewish people "push hatred" against white people
- He doubled down on the great replacement conspiracy theory
- He supports the AfD party which has not-so-subtle Nazi themes in official posters
- He actively created a safe space for Neo Nazis on his platform
- He threatened to sue researchers documenting the rise in hateful tweets
- After the inauguration "gesture", instead of apologizing he made Nazi-related puns
- He shared a post absolving Hitler of murdering millions of people
It's not just not outrageous to call him a Nazi, it's a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to conclude especially when you consider his other behaviour and the kinds of things he supports
Supporting the AfD party, an openly neo-nazi party, and appearing in their events, days after the "roman salute" removed any kind of ambiguity that could exist. He's a nazi, period. And the only good nazis are dead nazis.
The Roman salute excuse that many of his supporters promoted irks me because of how dishonest it is from the get go. There's not a single Roman work of art that depicts the salute and it actually originated fairly recently under Mussolini's National Fascist Party.
Additionally, the Nazis on 4chan et. al. had no problem recognizing the symbol for what it was. It was the pearl-clutching lib enablers who had trouble recognizing it
This post does not mean "voting is useless", tankies fuck off

Look guys, just because he bought Twitter and reinstated all the Nazi accounts, and thinks and says Nazi things, and and performed an obvious Nazi salute not once, but twice in a live broadcast to millions of homes, that doesn't mean he's a Nazi!
Next thing you will say that this guy is a Nazi;
(under 2 minutes, English subtitles available)
It's even more outrageous that we have Nazis in government.
What’s really outrageous is that he’s a free man, instead of rotting in some cell for the rest of his life like the Nazi sympathizing psychopath waste of oxygen he is.
Looks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, even rapes like a duck. Why is everyone calling me a duck?
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

History books will show he said this after the multiple seig heils on stage and telling the AfD to no longer be ashamed of Germany's past.
Guys, he’s absolutely right, and absolutely worse - Nazis have ideals (however flawed and monstrous) and this POS has none.
He’s an opportunist psychopath with 0 qualms about throwing a Nazi salute if it gets him what he wants. He’s a Nazi sympathizing parasite who’ll fake anything for likes, and the only thing he deserves is to serve as a ridiculed, timeless reminder for future generations the dangers of mindless celebrity worship and billionaires.
