Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, accused her father of giving a “definitely Nazi salute” at two rallies in January, calling his actions “fucking cringe.”

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trump’s administration.

    He did it again, just a second later.

    Also, a ‘gesture of thanks’ usually doesnt involve tensing up your whole body and stretching your right arm with the palm facing downwards. This is as unnatural of a gesture as it gets.

      He bent his whole body to give a salute. It was quite off-center and awkward, not really like the nazi salute as seen on historical videos of Hitler, which is a much more deliberate and aligned hand motion in relation to the body. If Elon time traveled to Hitler rallies and did this salute, he’d be reprimanded for doing it all wrong.

        When your defense is, “Actual Nazis would say you need to work on your Nazi salute if you want to do it right,” you need to realize you’re also saying, “Actual Nazis would recognize this as a poorly done Nazi salute.” And him being an unfit, physically inept fuck doesn’t make it less of a Nazi salute, no more than my hour of playing tennis doesn’t make my attempt at a backhand swing any less of a backhand swing just because Serena Williams would fall on her ass laughing if she saw me do it.

        Ah yes. When people ask if Im a nazi and I tell them “no, my nazi salute is too weak” they immediately understand.
