While speaking to the crowd at President Donald Trump's inauguration celebration in January, Musk made a gesture that caused many to question whether it was intended to be a fascist salute.


On Friday, Musk told Rogan that the persistent criticisms are "ridiculous," and that the gesture was not a Nazi salute, joking, "Now I can never point at things diagonally."

"Hopefully people realize I'm not a Nazi. Just to be clear, I'm not a Nazi," Musk said, laughing.



Musk then argued that if you're not committing genocide, then you can't be called a Nazi.

"What's relevant about Nazis is like, are you invading Poland? And if you're not invading Poland, maybe you're not" a Nazi, he said. "You have to be committing genocide and starting wars. "

"What is actually bad about Nazis — it wasn't their fashion or their mannerisms, it was the war and genocide," he added.

At another point in the episode, Rogan asked the billionaire how he personally deals with hate and attacks against him.

"It's pretty stressful," Musk answered, taking a much more serious tone. "They actually want to kill me. They say so online. There's like Reddit forums where they don't just want to kill me, they want to desecrate my corpse."

27. The Nazis didn't start out invading Poland and committing genocide.

It took them years and years and years to get to that point. But they were still Nazis all along.

[Morbius]

28. Ding ding!

I don't know what brings people to want to kill other people. I don't understand the motivation to commit genocide. But I know where it starts. It starts with deciding that the group you belong to is superior, because then simple logic leads you to believe people in other groups are inferior. And once you start believing in inferior people, you give yourself license to treat them that way.

Musk is a Nazi, as is Trump. They both consider themselves much, much better than anyone else. That, not the genocide or territorial ambition, is what defines a Nazi. It doesn't matter if it is racial purity or economic purity or ethnic purity or philosophical purity, it is purity they seek above all else, and that defines a Nazi.

Evil Sadistic Nazi boy... Speaking of Trolls... and you came along and made me Laugh

I think said Resident would be very Upset at you using the tiny violin for the Fascist Fuckhead..

Did you see the SNL clips or show where Mike Myers come out as the Destroyer/musk?

Thank You, she!

[sheshe2]

38. I hear you, Cha.

I am having a very hard time coping, we all are. I am so glad I made you laugh, we need it. I thank LG for the perfect gif.

Yes! I did catch the SNL open, boom. Well done.

Elong sucks and is trying to destroy America and anyone with a brain knows it.

[Dave Bowman]

31. Where's my tiny violin? Sad.

[sheshe2]

34. Actually I just posted one above.

[RainCaster]

32. He's a POS and an absolute asshole

Yeah, he's also a Nazi

[._.]

35. You know what?

If you ever have to carefully explain that you are "not a nazi", you're a nazi.

[Buns_of_Fire]

37. Ok, Eloon, send me an email with 5 reasons why you're not a Nazi by Wednesday. nt

[newdeal2]

40. I've heard mixing different drugs helps with stress

You should try that and increase your dosage, Eloon.

[VanceFan]

43. So sad

Most Nazi's feel the same, you worthless POS.

Wish I could take a chainsaw to you.

[Ping Tung]

44. Musk is following his co-president's lead by playing the victim. Donnie should tell him to hug a flag and look tearful

[Hassin Bin Sober]

45. Nazis were Nazis before they invaded the first country.

The aristocratic leadership of the Wehrmacht weren’t even necessarily Nazis. Nazism was more of a homegrown self-terrorism device (later to be exported).

[republianmushroom]

46. Muskrat, when I see a bird with a bill, web feet, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck,

I call it a duck. Now there are many different types of ducks but the are still DUCKs.

[D_Master81]

47. If you're not a Nazi

Stop doing Nazi salutes. Like no one walks around in real life signaling hello and excitement like that.

[Kid Berwyn]

48. "It wasn't their fashions or mannerisms."

That one can one be so rich and so stupid is the marvel of capitalism.
