- During the Donald Trump inauguration, Elon Musk extended his right arm towards the crowd in an upward angle twice. It was compared to a Nazi salute.
The gesture was controversial enough, but now come the sub-controversies: Elon Musk is trolling Wikipedia and encouraging its defunding after a description of his recent flourish, seen by some as a Hitler salute, appeared on the encyclopedic website.
The fight pits two of the internet's best-known tech giants against each other -- and highlights the starkly different ethos behind Musk's X social media site and Wikipedia, founded by American entrepreneur Jimmy Wales.

Thanks Elon! Considering that Wikipedia is funded by donors like me, not tax dollars, all he is doing is encouraging people to donate MORE. I changed my 2.50 a month donation to 10.00 a month in HONOR of Herr Elon.
Defund purveyors of information, he's so bright, he loads the data, and doubles down. Such a fragile genius.
I'd sooner the world defund Musk. Salutes aside, every move he ever makes is unashamedly fascist.
For the "champion of free speech" he's very quick to suppress the things he doesn't want to hear.
You mean the blatant LIES they want to spread that already almost cost Trump his life!! There's a HUGE difference!
Well it's a lie ...and there's a law against defamation
Propaganda and truth are two different things. We have no problem hearing the truth.
Musk did not call for violence, rather a call to spend $ elsewhere if desired!
Yes and he can afford to. He has earned the right!
I’ve just donated to Wikipedia
This man is a menace
Elon is a weird boy.
Musk is the first person since 1945 to accidently make a gesture resembling a Nazi salute. Amazing.
Pretty sure Tim walz did it first

@@AnyaZaytsev you are gaslighting; what do you hope to gain from doing evil's bidding?
Astoundingly wrong. There's vids and pics of Harris, Clinton, Taylor fkn swift, and others doing the exact same thing
@@clauc.5981 keep telling yourself little lies, we keep records.
i know this isn’t related to the video, but i kept seeing people talk about the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane in the comments of so many videos. at first, i thought it was just hype, but i gave in and read it. honestly, it’s been a game-changer. it’s not just about “thinking positive”-it really breaks down how to align your energy with what you want in a way that feels real. seeing little shifts in my own life now, i can see why so many people swear by it.
All of them gathered not to talk about how they can benefit our planet people but how to make profits for themselves.
@@kassandracastro4491 you have little faith in humanity
An awkward baby
Musk is a baby
The only question I have is what would Hitler do,if he doesn't like something get rid of it. Yes Musk we see you.
You can't take it back Elon , your true feelings came out for all to see, let it go down in history
Don’t be stupid
Don’t be obtuse
I really start to feel scared, who says he can't take down Wikipedia?
Every individual can donate to Wikipedia immediately, even if it’s only $2.
Wiki and Elon's reaction are both out there.
If it didn’t mean anything then why get on the defensive side and point fingers and now ask for defunding act like an adult and accept responsibility for your actions
He’s so lame 😒
Cringe
I contribute to Wikipedia every year but I will triple that contribution this year.
i will surely "Defund" Wikipedia and i will advice to all my students to do so.
@@shaileshmathews4086 Exactly how the Nazis tried to wipe out opposition in Germany. Remember how that did not end well for them. Do you really want to see America as a divided, smoking ruin?
Never thought I'd see an American willing to pay for lies.
@@shaileshmathews4086 have you even donated? I’m tripling my donation immediately to a fact based platform unlike all the media controlled by billionaires.
@@shaileshmathews4086 I am tripling my contribution.
this isn’t really related to the video, but i have to say-i kept seeing people talk about Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane in comment sections everywhere. after weeks of wondering, i finally decided to read the book, and i get it now. it’s not just about wishful thinking; it’s about learning how to truly focus your energy and align it with your intentions. it’s made me rethink so many things about how i approach life.
i know this has nothing to do with the video, but i kept seeing Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane mentioned everywhere in comment sections. i was skeptical, but after hearing so much about it, i decided to give it a read. honestly, it’s not just hype. the book teaches you how to shift your energy and mindset in a way that feels natural, and it’s amazing how much it changes the way you see your goals and the opportunities around you.
i know this isn’t the place for it, but i kept seeing Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane mentioned over and over in comments, and curiosity finally got the better of me. i read the book, and honestly, it’s one of the most practical guides to understanding manifestation i’ve ever seen. it’s not about instant results, but you can feel the difference as you apply what it teaches. seeing how people respond to me now, i totally get why it’s all over the comments.
Really . Im from germany and that was not a nazi salute . Grow the hell up and stop grasping at straws . You should know better
Seeing as you are German could you please give us the abbreviated version of the contributions German microbiologist Robert Koch made to our understanding of infection? Being German you no doubt can explain why Germany was knocked out in the football world cup of 2018? So good to have a German who knows absolutely everything connected to Germany!
So since British WWII historian Ian Kershaw is not German he knows nothing about Nazism? One has to be a German citizen in order to say anything of value about German history?
I am Canadian and thus the go-to person for anything and everything to do with Canada!
Geography makes one an expert!
Overruled
I’m from Italy and it was ours first,,, and yes it’s clearly a Nazi salute!
Sooo, does this qualify as "cancel culture" or no?
Proof of guilt
Mis-characterization ... is the woke cocaine of the left. 😂
"Nothing"? They blurred it out in Germany and Austria, you complete dim-wit. He would've been hauled into jail over there.
That was a fascist salute and you made it happen, so you meant it!
Democrat?
Prat
Was it fascist when Obama did it, when Clinton did it, when AOC did it?
You woke democrat, you dont know what a facist is...I do !!!!
@@leehenry5764 Then you do not understand a Fascist salute looks like. I did not recall that. Link to those pictures of fascist salutes so we can judge.
Bravo Bravo Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
got so tired of that "music"
Well he is part Dutch boar.....
Neo: i did not give you democracy for you to do that Elon😢 sorry about thw money Musk😊 next time give your ceo an increase instead( tesla and space x) space x has a future, people want stuff out there like minerals( space mining sh*#..) fk yeah lol stop texting through me brother!
Constant rotation under gravity due to external forces> next mission everyone
This is a lie and u know its a lie he literally said i send u my heart u guys are despicable
You mean, reality is a _lie!_ Oh, no! ..can you prove that your existence is not, 'a lie', because I have 4 different video views, independently, showing Elon Mosque perfecting_ a NaTsi Salute... funny, isn't it? No, it's idi@tic.
nice cognitive dissonance there mr nazi lover
What realistic commentator would think that Musk would make a Nazi salute? What planet are they on?
hmmm I don't know, maybe because it was indeed a nazi salute, done not once, but twice.... what planet are YOU living on?
Of course he did a Nazi salute, maybe he ha no knowledge of the existence of the Nazi?
People the world over saw it as a Nazi salute, including Neo Nazi’s and the White Nationalist communities. Maybe exercise a little more care with the gestures.
@@immortal2uoh bless your liberal heart
I always sail my hand in the air to say goodbye ..... And I'm Jewish ,my boss is German !!!😮😂 Come on . I guess I'm evil.
The free speech champion speaks.
Elaine, censors the nearest ant, who looks at his boiled potatohead, in all its fragile glory, sideways.
Musk should sue CNN and get them off the air
They’re crashing on their own with a 400 million dollar loss.
SO, your cult it _that_ fragile, interesting....
desperate wokes looking for anything....
"Nothing"? They blurred it out in Germany and Austria, you complete dim-wit. He would've been hauled into jail over there.
yeah, Natzis, and stuff, yeah, USA, end of the USA, USA, USA, ...except you work against the USA, so...
_“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”_ This was a clear-cut Sieg Heil, and the fact that you and so many others are chosing to believe what they tell you over your own eyes shows how far gone America is.
What a prat
I'm sorry you called yousef that !!
yours is a "donkey cry" after the frailer - by a great leader named trump.
@@shaileshmathews4086 "the donkey cry" from a white supremacist? Wierd
@@shaileshmathews4086 pathetic, son
This is news? Really?
yeah, Natzis, and stuff, yeah, USA, end of the USA, yeah ...dull. Stick to filling your socks, plank.
That had nothing to do to do with nazi salute people grow up!
"Nothing"? They blurred it out in Germany and Austria, you complete dim-wit. He would've been hauled into jail over there.
get real, grow up, jeez, _own it,_ at least!
Its just a rocket 🚀🚀 gesture
Lmao! Go musk 🫡
The insanity of the Left.
For calling out a nazi salute that Germany and Austria blurred out? The insanity belongs to the maganuts.
explain... I'll wait.
@ Taking a gesture and morphing it into an unhinged rant by every democrat and leftist media outlet.
Because their policies do not have a leg to stand on and this is the only thing they can do to try and seem relevant.
As bad as that is….the delusional supporters, that are willing believe in these attacks, are left feeling overwhelmed and stricken with anxiety because they believe in this rhetoric.
Salute is salute.There is no universal definition of salue, even no recognised classification of salute. Please don't level any person with unimportant, unwanted & unrecognised subject rather encourage & inspire Elon Musk to provide technical facility for those who are unable to utilise technology due to undevelope infrastructure.
nice cognitive dissonance there mr nazi lover
Википедия, что? Самая фейковая онлайн-энциклопедия в современной истории.
I don't believe Elon meant the gesture as a Hitler salute at all. He was overjoyed & threw up his hands. It just happened to be exactly like Hitler's salute.
nice cognitive dissonance there nazi lover
No more money for Wikipedia
If every post about Jan 6 didn't also have Wikipedia's paragraph about it being an insurrection I would consider donating to them.
You broke bums never donated to anything in your life.
You dont have money to donate anyway.
More like superman wave,check the movies!😉😉😉😉
Yes they have tainted Wikipedia
He’s free to salute however he wants
No one is disputing that. Yawn.
He trolled the trolls. What a brilliant trap. That man does " Nothing " in the public eye that isn't carefully thought out, let alone a erratic act like that. Now we get to see why he is so smart and rich.
By taking over companies all started with his daddy's emerald mine money.
@@KaeMaiden What a clever lucky man. Are you jealous 🤭😁🤣🤣
Doing tricks on it
We know what kind of fact is in Wikipedia
How ridiculous 🙄.
😭😭😭
"Nothing"? They blurred it out in Germany and Austria, you complete dim-wit. He would've been hauled into jail over there.
Ah well, no more money from me!
Happy to say he hasn’t received a penny from me.
Thank you, Elon, for sending love from your heart to all of us. I felt it all the way here in England. Made this elderly lady very happy and included. Bollocks to wikipedia garbage site full of lies and crap. No use to anyone.
