Elon Musk Drags Taylor Swift Into His Nazi Salute Controversy During Donald Trumps Inauguration
One question rife in the TrueSwifties subreddit group is why Elon Musk is so obsessed with Taylor Swift. Recall that the Tesla and X owner, 53, shocked fans and the world with a controversial salute called the Nazi Salute during his speech at Donal Trump’s inauguration on Tuesday.
Elon finished his speech by slapping his hand to his heart before shooting out his right arm at an upward angle, with his fingers together and his palm facing down. The move was allegedly a ‘Roman salute’ but many pointed out that the gesture resembled a Nazi salute.
Now in an attempt to downplay the intensity of what he has done, Elon Musk dragged Taylor Swift into the affray by tweeting an image of her doing almost the same salute captioning it, “Does this mean Swifties = Hitler youth? And Swifties are not taking it lightly with him as they blasted him head-on.
One commenter wrote, “When I saw the pics of musk I thought it was a snapshot taken out of context like how Taylor’s is or the hundreds of other people you can find photos of like that. But then I watched the video of him and he is 100% trying to get away with doing the Nazi hitler salute. It sent such rage through me. He is trying to normalize being a fucking Nazi.”
Another commenter added, “Elon Musk did it TWICE. With his whole fucking chest. Anyone denying it is a Nazi apologist, sorry not sorry.” A third added, “He’s just a racist scumbag who profits off other people’s hard work. And he’s barely American. The fact that an IMMIGRANT has become the poster boy for American patriotism is insane. I suppose he’s white enough and racist enough that he gets a pass.”
A fourth commenter shared how her marriage is suffering because of the salute. “My husband and I are having a fight about this right now. He thinks Musk is just stupid and made the gesture out of ignorance and thats not what he meant and hes not a nazi……..Im like no he thre his whole fucking chest into it TWICE,” the commenter wrote.
Adding, “With the whole world watching. These other pictures like that one of taylor is pics of people waving and them capturing a still at just the right moment and angle. This was on live international television. The way the crowd responded was even more disturbing. Honestly Idk what is more scary the people who cheered him on or the ones playing ignorant and making excuses for him because they dont want to believe he’s a nazi.”
