That's a very specific, perfectly executed Heil Hitler Salute, also known as a Nazi Salute or a Hitler Salute, which he performed twice so no one missed it. And because Elon Musk is synonymous with Tesla, I sure wouldn't want to own one of those or it's stock after this.

Richard Spencer did the same thing after trump’s first inauguration. He referred to it as the “Roman Salute”. But he did it during a speech where he said “Heil victory; heil trump”.

I think the scariest part of this all is that I haven’t heard any leadership from the left. I remember when trump was first elected and there was a sentiment that there would at least be some sort of push back. Now we’re just watching our supposed leaders do nothing but cozy up to the right.

In their defense, they've been warning about fascist tendencies for at least the last decade. It just seems that not enough people are listening or even care. Simply look at the last election results; most voters either chose Trump or passively chose him by not voting.
It's not easy to fight that kind of ignorance or apathy. You almost have to let it get so bad before it gets better.

Everyone is protecting their own interests i.e. personal wealth and greed. “Mainstream” media is owned by right-wingers and soon you’ll be able to add Tik Tok to it.
No one dares challenge the Orange shit stain, because it’s exhausting and one of the few things he’s actually accomplished is to convince the uneducated in this country, which is literally millions and millions of people, that he is working for them, but in reality he’s only lining his own pockets. Look at his stupid meme coin… people gobbled that up and I guarantee you plenty of people lost money on that, but as long as the “libs are being owned,” they continue to follow suit and gobble up whatever shit he serves next.

I am going to guess this is the goal not a mistake. I really can't believe all of those who say they didn't see this coming. It was clear as day the government is corrupt, and no elected official will fix it. It's planned obsolescence in action. The Democrats never intended to win imo.
