By The Editorial Board Jan. 22, 2025 at 5:53 pm ET If Democrats are so worried about disinformation, they should stop spreading disinformation. Witness Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy on Tuesday, questioning Elise Stefanik, President Trump’s nominee to be Ambassador to the United Nations: “What do you think of Elon Musk, perhaps the President’s most visible adviser, doing two ‘heil Hitler’ salutes last night at the President’s televised rally?” What an object lesson in the laundering of a kooky online smear. Roll back the tape, and Mr. Musk is reacting to a roaring arena as he says the 2024 election really mattered, and his heart goes out to the crowd. He slaps his chest and waves an arm toward the audience. The peanut gallery on social media went nuts, suggesting it was an intentional Nazi salute, which mainstream outlets then cited to justify covering the supposed controversy. “Elon Musk ignited speculation and chatter online,” the New York Times said, quoting the X account of “a popular streamer.” Or here’s the Atlantic: “Did Elon Musk actually toss off a Sieg heil! at Donald Trump’s inauguration rally today? A lot of people online seem to think he did.” Soon enough, it hardly mattered what Mr. Musk intended: His gesture, the AP said, had been “embraced by right-wing extremists regardless of what he meant.” In response, Mr. Musk reposted pictures of Hillary Clinton, Taylor Swift, and others photographed with one arm straight out, palm down. “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” he wrote. “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.” The Anti-Defamation League said it recognizes that many Americans are “on edge,” but Mr. Musk “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute.” Mr. Musk might cop to awkwardness. When he appeared on “Saturday Night Live” a few years ago, his monologue included a comedic bit about “making history tonight as the first person with Asperger’s to host,” meaning that “I won’t make a lot of eye contact with the cast tonight, but don’t worry, I’m pretty good at running ‘human’ in emulation mode.” Also, recall Mr. Musk’s exuberant if dorky leap at a Trump rally last year? Tim Walz, the Democratic VP nominee, mocked him for “skipping like a dips—.” No, he’s really a Nazi, some Democrats now say. “I never imagined we would see the day when what appears to be a Heil Hitler salute would be made behind the Presidential seal,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler wrote. “I urge all of my colleagues to unite in condemning this hateful gesture for what it is: antisemitism.” There it is, the birth of a partisan talking point—and the spreading of disinformation.

The leftist mob isn't angry because they actually think Elon is a Nazi and hates Jews. They are angry because Elon opposes the unholy leftist-Islamist alliance and supports Jews. They project their own hate of the USA, Israel, the West, meritocracy, successful people onto Elon.
https://jonathanturley.org/2025/01/...efts-third-reich-mania-collapses-into-comedy/ Nazispolozza: The Left’s Third Reich Mania Collapses into Comedy by jonathanturley January 23, 2025 Below is my column in the New York Post on the latest attack on Elon Musk from the left. There is a mania on the left in calling people with opposing views “Nazis” and referencing the Third Reich. The left has jumped the Nazi shark in this rhetoric as the public tunes out these increasingly hysterical voices. Here is the column: One of the least successful efforts of the left and many in the media this election was to paint Republican voters as “Nazis” hellbent on destroying democracy. While once verboten as a political comparison, liberal politicians and pundits have developed something of a Nazi fetish, where every statement and gesture is declared a return of the Third Reich. It seems like each news event presents a Rorschach test where every inkblot looks like a Nazi. That mania reached absurd, even comedic, levels with the attack on Elon Musk over an awkward gesture during the inauguration celebration. An exuberant Musk told the crowd, “My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.” As he gave those words, he placed his right hand on his chest and stretched his arm outward, his palm facing the floor. He then repeated the gesture before putting his hand on his chest again. It was all done in a matter of seconds, but it was enough for the usual mob to erupt in faux outrage. Pundits insisted that Musk had chosen the moment to come out as a Nazi on national television. The Washington Post breathlessly reported this week how the “Nazi-style salute” had “invigorated fans on the far right.” The usual liberal professors were rolled out to offer a patina of authority to the ridiculous claim. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a professor of history at New York University, declared, “Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.” Mike Stuchbery went on X (the company owned by the man he now suggests is a Nazi reenactor) to declare, “I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact-checking chuds [gross people] on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.” Well, that settles it. As the outrage continued, any doubt or dissent was denounced as evidence that you are obviously a Nazi as well. That became a bit embarrassing when the leading Jewish organization, the Anti-Defamation League, stated the obvious: This was not a Nazi salute but rather an “awkward gesture.” The core principle of liberal mob tactics is that there can be no divergence, even by a group like the ADL. The way to deal with opposing ideas or writings is by making someone persona non grata. If you do not cancel others, you will be canceled. So the ADL was effectively declared soft on Nazis by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity. People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.” We’ve reached a level of absurdity where Jewish advocates are treated like they are virtual Nazi sympathizers. more
conclusion This is not the first time the Democrats have labeled Trump and his supporters “Nazis.” It started years ago as Democrats repeated analogies of Trump to Hitler and his followers to brownshirted neo-Nazis. Defeating Trump has been compared to stopping Hitler in 1933, and media personalities like Rachel Maddow went on the air with a hysterical claim that “death squads” were authorized by the Supreme Court. When Trump held a massive rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden before the election, the media were apoplectic and immediately declared it … you guessed it … akin to a Nazi rally. From the Washington Post to the New York Times, the media formed an affinity group meeting to fret over “echoes of 1939.” In case anyone missed the message, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz emphasized “a direct parallel” with the Nazis. Over at the Nation, David Zirin treated Madison Square Garden (known for everything from cage fights to dog shows) as an almost Vatican-like space: “With his fascist New York City rally, Donald Trump has befouled what many believe to be a sacred space: Madison Square Garden.” So Trump is a Nazi. Musk is a Nazi. Half the country are Nazis. The problem is that, if you say everyone is a Nazi, then no one is a Nazi. It loses its meaning. That includes Ocasio-Cortez, who appears to have joined the ranks of the Reich after critics posted her making a Musk-like gesture during a speech. There was no torrent of media fretting about how the gesture reflected the extremism of AOC’s questioning need for a Supreme Court, seeking to bar Trump and dozens of Republicans from ballots, or supporting censorship. AOC is a certified Nazi hunter, a license that seems only to be available to figures on the left. Of course, labeling political opponents as diabolically evil fanatics and seeking to bar candidates from ballots sounds a lot like … well … it sounds familiar. There is an alternative. We can put the rage rhetoric aside and have honest debates over differences on politics and laws. In other words, we can fight over policy … and leave the Nazis out of it.
How brain dead must one be to ignore an entire lifetime of support for Israel and declare someone a Nazi by misinterpreting an awkward "heart-felt gesture" at an emotional moment on stage? There is literally nothing else to support this Nazi smear. Serious people do not make judgements in this way. Buck, to put it plainly, you look very dumb right now.
Hey, I want to ask you as well, Do you have Anita Bryant posters pinned up behind your computer screen???
