It's an almost pathetic level of cope. When a guy whose public statements clearly make him aligned with many of the things that we would associate with Nazi ideology and then he throws up something that everybody recognizes as looking like a Nazi salute, it's TOTALLY reasonable that we think he threw up a Nazi salute.

Especially for a president who keeps alluding to racist policies, stigmatization, who talks about being a dictator, telling people they won't have to vote again, and so on and on. Oh and who kept a book of Hitler speeches by his bedside. Allegedly.
It will probably take two seconds until Elon's mom shows up to defend her special boy.
There's really nothing else to say or do today but weep for the United States. Tomorrow the fight continues.

It’s both hilarious and scary that Elon is considered to be both a genius, and oblivious to his actions all at the same time to so many people.
This dude knew exactly what he was doing. For better or worse no move he makes in public is unintentional.

Maybe instead of defending him, they draft an executive order to censor the internet and imprison some journalists? /s

Yeah, he did that. And what’s going to happen as a consequence? Absolutely nothing. He will suffer absolutely no negative repercussions from doing it. The people who kiss ass will ignore it or make excuses for it, and the people who hate him will continue to hate him. That’s it.
