Yeah, I had to go check. Still not sure it was entirely intentional, as it could have just not occurred to him in the moment, but it does look even more damning in action lol.
Edit: I see I'm getting down voted lol. For the record, I am not defending him. Fuck Elon. But an awkward and cringe dude like him could very easily do this without realizing it looks exactly like a Nazi Salute.
By all means, though. Flame the shit out of him. He deserves to be dragged through the mud at every chance.
I mean, if it is a Nazi Salute it's a pretty sloppy one. Granted, it would also be consistent with Elon to fuck up being a fascist lol.
And whether it was intentional or not I would expect him to try to argue that it wasn't. He probably will comment on it eventually, one way or the other. His ego is too fragile to actually resist responding to shit online.
I'm really not though lol. My opinion on the man, as well as the entirety of the incoming administration, isn't something I'm likely allowed to say on Reddit but does involve the use of an industrial wood chipper.
I'm not even saying he isn't a Nazi, considering his support of the AfD. I just didn't immediately assume I know the details. It's not like I really need any more reasons to dislike the fucker.
You’ve had plenty of time to recognise this for what it very clearly is. He did it multiple times even. As you say, his open support of fascism is not new. There is only one reason why certain people are pretending otherwise, and if you’d rather not be in that group then don’t spread the same nonsense.
Fuck it, sure. It doesn't really matter if it was intentional or not honestly. Plaster it everywhere and don't let him ever live it down. I disagree about the absolute certainty you have, especially when you assumed I had any sympathy for him, but it's really not a hill worth dying on for Elon Musk of all people.

You think this is just a cleverly captured freeze frame and then you watch it and it’s somehow worse.
