    I guess I’m going to be the one that plays devil’s advocate as there is no context here other than a still image, but is it possible he wasn’t intentionally doing a Nazi salute and has just been caught in an incredibly awkward pose?

          The fucker paid for Pennsylvania votes last election. Literally paid for them.

          He grew up in Apartheid South Africa and calls his African American workers ‘Plantation’ and none of them can move up the ladder in any of his companies.

          He God damn knows what he is doing.

        I just read the first sentence, so without the full context, I understand that you’re exposing yourself as one?

        Wouldn’t a Nazi that thought Musk is also a Nazi be saying that it is a Nazi salute?

        I don’t think devils advocates or people that see life as shades of grey rather than black and white are default Nazi’s, but I understand that the US is an emotionally turbulent place right now.

        Full stop lol

          May I ask, if someone were to make a gesture indistinguishable from a Nazi salute, what would be necessary to convince you it was, in fact, a Nazi salute?

            When my cat stretches, it kind of looks like a sieg hiel, I’m pretty convinced he’s not a nazi tho.

            When they do it while goose-stepping.

            Here, people are arguing that this wasn’t intentionally a nazi salute. But throw in the goose-step and there be absolutely no room for doubt.

            To me here, it very much looks like a nazi salute. But. The way he does it. I also could see someone arguing that he was going to dab, but fucked up and only did half the dab.

            You can almost see it with the energy he puts into it and appears that he’s about to look away, and his brain could’ve glitched or something. Just missing the other arm there, Elon.
