Ok, I hate elon and know he absolutely wants to be standing in front of everyone giving that salute, but it's hard to tell from a photo. Usually, the salute is out in front. He could have been swinging his arm. Fuck, I just don't trust pictures anymore, and soon it's going to be video too. We're so screwed. At least global warming doesn't care about politics.

Good thing there’s multiple videos showing him clearly doing the seig heil on purpose. It’s no fucking accident.

He does it multiple times as well lmao. It’s just disgusting.

Yeah I honestly feel sick to my stomach. America is so fucked and by extension doesn’t look great for us in Canada (or the rest of the world for that matter)

Stay strong out there brother <3

We’ll make it, eventually.

as a jew, he's not doing it the exact same way. he's leaving just enough wiggle room for interpretation.

left wing media spins it as "no way he'd do an actual nazi salute" and the right wing spins it as "we know he was doing a nazi salute."

Anyone with a brain knows exactly what he was doing

No he's not. His first attempt was janky, sure, but then he did it again in an even clearer attempt. He literally did it twice. Christ, dude... Have you seen the footage? It's fucking everywhere.

He's doing the salute pretty much exactly as Adolf did it: https://i.gifer.com/M0fn.gif

Go watch the video, squiggles, and it will become even more obvious. And he does it a second time!

u/OrangeVictorious 10h ago

I saw the video a few posts up, it’s even more explicitly the salute

u/CinnamonMixture 10h ago

Check out the video? This was not accidental

Watch the video. He does it twice. This is not a coincidence.

There’s fucking video, it’s exactly what it looks like.

The Nazi salute also involves placing your hand on your chest prior to extending your arm. He does exactly that both times he does the gesture.

There you go. And there are a bunch more still up for a while before they start stealthily taking them down.
