Skateboarding legend Kareem Campbell recently sparked outrage with a post that was both provocative and unfiltered.
The image? A young boy urinating on a cartoon depiction of Elon Musk, who’s shown making his now-infamous Hitler salute gesture. The photo was simple but sharp, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
The post quickly gained traction, with skateboarders flooding the comments to share their thoughts. Some applauded the icon for his no-filter approach, while others debated that it's not even close to a Nazi salute. Regardless of where skaters' stood, one thing was clear: Campbell wasn’t holding back.
The image itself is a clear nod to the controversial moment when the billionaire, jokingly raised his arm in a gesture that many compared to a Nazi salute. While some dismissed it as a misguided attempt pouring his heart out, others, like Campbell, saw it as a step too far. By sharing the post, Campbell made his stance crystal clear: there’s a line, and Musk crossed it.
The skate community has stood behind Campbell. "Always Keeping it Real Reemo They tryna Fool us ?! Tryna trick us !? Like we don’t possess the Knowledge haha Game Over on all these clowns" one fan commented. "Big ups Reem for putting your self out there. Deniers gonna deny. Luckily we’re old enough to know the truth. I saw enough in the uk during the late 70’s early 80’s ( Brixton riots) to recognize the mind set. Peace!" Others pointed out that Campbell’s post reflects the kind of authenticity that’s made him a legend in the first place.
The richest man in the world posted on X "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired." Whether you’re a supprter or not, Campbell’s Instagram post shows that sometimes, a picture speaks louder than words. And in this case, those words are pretty bold and hard to miss.
