Elon Musk threatens to sue 'creepy' Tim Walz for accusing him of Nazi salute; billionaire's mom urges lawsuit against CNN



Elon Musk has threatened to sue Tim Walz after the Minnesota governor said "of course" the billionaire did a Nazi salute at an inauguration rally for President Donald Trump.

Walz declared during an appearance on MSNBC on Tuesday, "We spent three days, you know, them trying to debate that President Musk gave a Nazi salute — of course he did!"'

'Lawyer up.'

Also during his MSNBC appearance, Walz revealed that losing the 2024 election was "pure hell."

“To the voters, I’m with this, too. Everybody’s fatigued. Trust me, I get it,” Walz told host Rachel Maddow. “It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration, and I’m, you know, soul-searching — what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they’re throwing so much at us that we’re fatigued.”

Anti-DEI advocate Robby Starbuck shared a video of Walz's MSNBC appearance.

Musk replied to the post on the X social media platform by proclaiming he may bring a lawsuit against the former Democrat vice presidential nominee, "I think I will. Tim Walz is a creepy [clown face emoji].”

During Musk's hand gesture on Inauguration Day, he slapped his chest twice and extended his right arm outward to a crowd of Trump supporters in Washington, D.C.

Musk explained, "It was astonishing how insanely hard legacy media tried to cancel me for saying 'my heart goes out to you' and moving my hand from my heart to the audience. In the end, this deception will just be another nail in the coffin of legacy media."

Maye Musk — the mother of the Tesla CEO — advised her son to slap media outlets with lawsuits for accusing Elon of carrying out a Nazi salute.

Musk's mom said that she has been "receiving so much hatred" because a CNN panel with Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell attacked the SpaceX CEO.

“I don’t understand why this guy keeps getting the benefit of the doubt, whether or not he believes this stuff, personally,” Rampell said of Musk.

"By the second Sieg Heil, I think he kind of loses the benefit of not to be accused of playing footsie with the Nazis," Rampell stated.

Former GOP strategist Scott Jennings rebutted, "We’ve moved on from Trump derangement syndrome to Elon derangement syndrome. So he has a long record of supporting the Jewish people, number one. Number two, anybody who is asserting this thing he did on the stage the other day was a 'Sieg Heil,' which I just heard you say, you know, lawyer up maybe because, [it is an] absolute ridiculous thing to say.”

Jennings added, "This salute trutherism is outrageous."

Maye Musk thanked Jennings for defending her son.

She told her son, "Elon Musk, please sue them."

Besides CNN, she also advised Musk to sue PBS and the Guardian for their disparaging comparisons to Nazis.

PBS News previously wrote on the X social media platform, "Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena."

PBS News accused Musk of "putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the 'Sieg Heil' used by Nazis at their victory rallies."

The Guardian stated, "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes during celebrations of the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump."

Maye said that Musk must sue anyone calling him a Nazi because "otherwise they won’t stop."

On the other side, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Musk was being "falsely smeared" over the Nazi comparisons.

"Elon Musk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust," Netanyahu said. "He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state. I thank him for this."

The Anti-Defamation League defended Musk from the Nazi allegations.

"This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety," the ADL stated. "It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge."

"In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead," the ADL concluded.

Nazi-obsessed Democrat county chair calls for violent death for some humorous Trump supporters in epic meltdown



A Democratic Party leader in one Michigan county has had a series of meltdowns since President Donald Trump was inaugurated last week, even calling for the death penalty for people who made a harmless joke online.

Bill Swift is the chairman of the Democratic Party of Lenawee County, a Republican-leaning area along the southeastern border of Michigan, just north of Toledo, Ohio. His social media posts and a recent call made to a local radio show indicate Swift is not coping well with the prospect of a second Trump term, as the Midwesterner noted.

For one thing, Swift and others in the Lenawee County Democratic Party seem to think that Trump has no legal right to be in office. In a since-deleted Facebook post, the group called Trump "an illegitimately and unconstitutionally elected insurrectionist president," according to a screenshot shared by the Midwesterner on Friday.

"The necessary moral preconditions for the extra constitutional removal of the President of the United States and any elected official at any level of government who professes support for or who provides material support for this man or his administration have been met," the post from the Lenawee County Democratic Party added.

'Donald Trump ran on Nazi rhetoric and Nazi ideas.'

Swift and the Lenawee Dems' ire is not limited to Trump but extends to Trump supporters as well. They even suggested a death by hanging for a Facebook user who had posted a meme on their group's page, joking that Trump is now "king."

The meme appears to have been deleted as well, though a screenshot of part of it can be seen at the 9:24 mark of this YouTube video. The screenshot shows a picture of Trump dancing with the words "King's Back!" written underneath, supporting the idea that the "king" meme was just for laughs.

The Dem group apparently did not see the humor and claimed the meme poster and anyone else "trying to make Donald Trump king" was a "traitor who should be hanged by the neck until dead," according to a screenshot shared by Libs of TikTok.

During his 10-minute call to "Talk Back Radio" with Doug Spade and Mike Clement on Saturday, Swift doubled down on the accusation of "treason" — and its attending constitutional penalty.

"I said — and I believe this to be 100%. I stand behind the statement that that's treason," he said matter-of-factly, "anybody furthering an effort to make anybody a king."

"And they should be arrested, and they should be facing the death penalty, and they should be hanged by the neck until dead."

In addition to traitors, Swift believes that under Trump, America is now teeming with Nazis. Between his chat with Spade and Clement and a Facebook message posted from his personal account on Monday, Swift used some form of the word Nazi at least 20 different times. Here are just a few examples:

  • "Donald Trump ran on Nazi rhetoric and Nazi ideas."
  • "At conservative Republican rallies and organizations like CPAC, Nazi iconography, Nazi imagery, Nazi language has been front and center."
  • "We are no longer a constitutional republic. We are a fascist, Nazi, billionaire oligarchy."

Swift further claimed that the "Nazi MAGA movement" is responsible for "hate and terrorism" and that "cruel and brutal folks" are now "running this country," though he did not identify any particular instances of hatred, terrorism, cruelty, or brutality. He also propagated the hoax that Elon Musk "performed two Hitler salutes, two Nazi salutes" at an inauguration celebration.

That deleted post from Lenawee County Dems was likewise riddled with Nazi language, especially in reference to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The post called ICE agents "Nazi collaborators" who were "unconstitutionally operating within the borders of the State of Michigan."

In response, the Lenawee County Republican Party issued a strong condemnation of Swift and his fellow Dems' incendiary remarks, characterizing them as "disturbing" and "dangerous" and calling for a retraction.

"It is essential that we engage in political discourse based on truth, respect, and a commitment to the ideals of liberty and justice, not by inciting fear and spreading falsehoods."

New York Magazine Crops Out Truth With Young Conservative Hit Piece

'They had an agenda and that was to slander the MAGA movement as some white supremacist cult,' CJ Pearson said of the magazine.

When it comes to new friends, Republicans should trust but verify



The enthusiasm surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration last week highlighted the breadth and diversity of the president’s coalition. Among those attending were American technology leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg. However, conservatives should hesitate before fully welcoming these figures into the America First movement.

While the GOP rightly celebrates the powerful allies surrounding President Trump, the party must uphold its foundational conservative principles. Republicans should avoid capitulating to the liberal ideologies often espoused by the tech industry and should not overlook the past actions of these business leaders.

To prove their political transformation is genuine, tech leaders need to take meaningful steps to counter the decade-long vilification of President Trump and his supporters.

Zuckerberg, who once sported hoodies but now discusses “masculine energy” on Joe Rogan’s podcast, allowed his Facebook platform in 2021 to bow to Biden administration pressures and censor dissenting opinions on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Similarly, Cook’s Apple Newsfeed, Pichai’s Google search engine, and Bezos’ Washington Post played roles in suppressing critical information. Their actions contributed to the promotion of draconian lockdowns. These lockdowns, in turn, enabled widespread vote-by-mail, which, according to MIT’s Election Data and Science Lab, has been linked to higher rates of fraud compared to in-person voting, even among scholars who generally view election fraud as rare.

Worse, Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, personally contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to an organization that provided ballot drop boxes to facilitate the 2020 election. Ninety percent of those were in Democrat-leaning counties.

To his credit, Zuckerberg has since admitted to mishandling the public health crisis. The young billionaire publicly rebuked the Biden White House for launching its censorship campaign against Facebook, but he didn’t have to succumb.

And let’s not forget how Big Tech suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story. The Washington Post, whose slogan was “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” also cast plenty of shade on the New York Post’s reporting of “Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop.”

It's also worth remembering that in 2021, Apple and Google removed the social network Parler from their app stores and Amazon threw it off its cloud web hosting service. The corporations claimed that the platform, founded as a free-speech alternative to the censorious, pre-Elon Musk Twitter, was responsible for spreading violent content and contributing to the “insurrection” on January 6. The move left hundreds of thousands of conservatives without a virtual home.

Before millions of disaffected Democrats joined Trump’s cultural movement, conservatives watched in frustration as the “very fine people” lie from Charlottesville was allowed to circulate unchecked online. Technology leaders were too focused on elevating the MeToo and Black Lives Matter narratives to counteract what could have been easily debunked with a straightforward analysis of Trump’s actual statement.

Today, identifying as a common-sense conservative may be considered cool, but not long ago, Republicans were dismissed as backwater bumpkins and ostracized in social circles. It’s fair to say that major tech companies contributed to the public prejudice against conservatives through their platforms.

While Zuckerberg and Bezos have distanced their companies from the divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion framework that dominates woke corporate culture, companies like Apple and Microsoft are expanding their DEI programs. They claim these initiatives foster a “culture of belonging” and promote inclusivity.

To prove their political transformation is genuine, tech leaders need to take meaningful steps to counter the decade-long vilification of President Trump and his supporters. Incorporating America First policies into their corporate practices would be a good start.

For instance, instead of manufacturing iPhones in China, Apple CEO Tim Cook could explore plans to build an Apple plant in states like Michigan or Nevada. A city such as Detroit, which has one of the highest unemployment rates among major U.S. cities, could greatly benefit from the economic boost an Apple facility would provide.

Similarly, many American merchants selling on Amazon have seen their sales stagnate due to the influx of counterfeit, low-cost Chinese products on the platform. To support U.S. businesses, Jeff Bezos could take action to prevent Chinese sellers from undercutting American entrepreneurs.

Conservatives are compassionate, kind, and tolerant people, but expanding our coalition shouldn’t require compromising core principles. Nor should it mean quickly forgetting the criticism and attacks we endured from those who now want to align with us. While we can welcome their change in rhetoric, we should also hold them accountable to back their words with real actions.

Trump’s new mRNA vaccine: What’s really happening?



President Donald Trump has already made a lot of sweeping changes following his long-awaited inauguration — but he’s made one move that has his voters questioning his motives.

At a press conference this week, Trump announced the formation of Project Stargate alongside Oracle’s chief technology officer, Larry Ellison; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman; and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son.

The project is an at least $500 billion investment to build the infrastructure to power AI construction, and one of its nice-sounding aims is to improve health outcomes — but what does that really mean?

“Once we gene sequence that cancer tumor, you can then vaccinate the person, design a vaccine for every individual person to vaccinate them against that cancer, and you can make that vaccine, that mRNA vaccine, you can make that robotically again in about 48 hours,” Ellison explained at the White House on January 21.


“So imagine early cancer detection, the development of a cancer vaccine for your particular cancer aimed at you, and have that vaccine available in 48 hours. That is the promise of AI and the promise of the future,” he added.

Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” and her father, Ron Simmons, aren’t too pleased with Ellison’s delivery.

“Using the word vaccine and mRNA in this day and time is a little sensitive,” Simmons says. “I think he’s using the wrong term, ‘vaccine.’”

“The mRNA vaccines, we all know that there has been a lot of problems with that, and I would not want them rushing out to try to figure out a 48-hour vaccine. Scares me to death. The last one they did in six or seven months really had a negative effect on a lot of people,” he continues.

“In fact, I think probably was behind some pretty bad turnouts for people, and so I think that was wrong,” he adds. “But that’s not all of what this program is about. Health care is one of the things, there’ll be other things as well that’ll be used for the Defense Department.”

“So I’m really excited about seeing what happens out of it,” he adds.

Donald Trump Is A ‘Malevolent Coxcomb,’ And Other Deranged Takes From Nicholas Carr

Nicholas Carr’s new book is like watching Michael Jordan on the Wizards: flashes of a former brilliance but mostly a wish he’d stayed retired.

Evil empire is coming down: Exposing WOLVES in the second Trump Era



Donald Trump has returned as the 47th president of the United States of America, but the fight to make America free again has just begun.

No one knows this better than Glenn Beck, who recently took the stage at Turning Point USA’s 2024 AmericaFest and explained how to figure out who’s really on the side of truth — and who’s a wolf in sheep's clothing.

“That was an evil empire they were building, and it will come down,” Glenn boomed to the audience. “We have to know who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, who’s actually on the team, and now that we have all of this popularity, suddenly Donald Trump is cool with everyone.”

“We have to make sure those who wear masks are not coming in and claiming to be part of this team, and they have no intention of being on the team,” he continued.

And some of those former Democrats, who as Glenn says are “cool” with Trump now, have already shown they mean it.


“People like Elon Musk and Tulsi and RFK, they were all on that other side, and then COVID began to wake them up, and they were like, ‘Oh, dear God,’” he explains. “‘I think I’m with the wrong crowd,’ and they slowly started to peel off from there, and now we have Donald Trump.”

But there are some who are already “on our side” who are questionable.

“We also have the RINOs, Mitch McConnell. The RINOs are in this as well,” Glenn explains before ending on a positive note.

“I want you to know that we live in an incredible country with incredible things just ahead of us. We have now, with this election, turned the page to an entirely new chapter. We’re like halfway through the book, and instead of putting ‘the end,’ we just said, ‘part two.’ But you get to write what this nation does,” he says.

“That’s an incredible opportunity and an incredible responsibility, but remember, all you have to do, all you have to do is believe. Truly believe. Not in magic but in the Republic and the things which she stands for,” he continues.

“You have to believe in the best of one another, you have to stand together to make sure evil does not creep in,” he says, adding, “We have had the power the whole time.”

Musk responds to Nazi salute accusations: ‘They need better tricks’



President Trump’s second inauguration was one for the history books for many reasons, but the leftist media has decided to focus on one short clip of Elon Musk from the inauguration.

In the clip, Musk is standing behind a podium after giving his speech at the inauguration, before he excitedly throws one arm in the air. Now, he’s being accused of giving a Nazi salute.

“I just want to say thank you for making it happen, thank you,” Elon said before shooting his arm out to the cheering crowd. “My heart goes out to you, it is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.”

“Our viewers are smart, and they can take a look at that, but it certainly was — it’s not something that you typically see at American political rallies,” a host on CNN said during the inauguration.


While CNN was quick to jump to conclusions, the ADL actually came out in defense of Elon Musk.

“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @Elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge,” the ADL wrote in a post on X.

“In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead,” the ADL concluded in their post.

“I mean, that’s cool. They could have poured gasoline on the fire. They chose not to,” Keith Malinak of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments.

Elon also took to X to defend himself.

“Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” Musk wrote in a post, adding, “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”

Elon Musk under fire for alleged ‘Nazi salute’ during Trump’s inauguration



Elon Musk has been under fire basically nonstop since he boarded the MAGA train. It should come as no surprise then that many people found something to complain about in Musk’s speech at Donald Trump’s inauguration.

At the podium, an excited Musk thanked the people for “making it happen.” He placed his right hand on his heart before thrusting it out to the crowd. He then turned behind him and did the same for the audience sitting behind him.

Some perceived the action as a gesture of appreciation; others, however, likened it to the Hitlerian salute.

In response to the backlash, Musk took to X and posted:

Dave Landau, ¼ Black Garrett, and producer Angela Boggs, hosts of “Normal World,” debate the scandal.

Garrett says that Musk probably didn’t think about how his gesture might be received because “he has autism.”

“I think this was just an autism moment,” he offers.

Angela disagrees. “I don’t think autism makes you Nazi-salute two times,” she says. “I'm just playing devil's advocate. … I'm not saying 100% I think that that's what he was doing, but he did do [the gesture] twice.”

“I don’t think it was a Nazi salute,” says Dave.

“He was sending out his heart to the crowd,” adds Garrett sympathetically. “You know how he’s always undulating with his arms. Classic Elon.”
