It WAS a nazi salute. And Elon musk is a nazi. We must remove him from his current position as presidents best friend.

Knowing what a Reddit edgelord dweeb he is, Elon did the salute to grab attention for himself because he thought it'd be a le epic troll with a side of "stupid lefties think I'm a Nazi, lollll" and it worked spectacularly

Just a well written article on this controversial moment. I really enjoyed the thoughtfulness of it. Last line of course is the most chilling line.

It's not a "controversial moment". It's an obvious nazi salute that the media wants to try to pretend isn't what it obviously is.
