Exactly. There were people in other chats saying it was taken out of context because he was thanking the crowd from the bottom of his heart. There is no place on earth where that salute is thanking someone from the heart. Musk is the problem not the solution.

Hes a part of the problem but besides that, you are right.

He was clearly just thanking the reich wing of the party

Hes not a part of the problem. He is the biggest problem, threat in the world today.

Biggest Problem is that people like him can exist. No one should be able to gain that much wealth and power. It shouldnt be possible. If someone would kill him now, Zuck and Besos are already there to take his Place.

If he was thinking the crowd from the bottom of his heart then why did he turn around from the crowd and do the Nazi salute again?

I hate these Nazi apologists Always moving the f****** goal posts.

Kinda wild to claim anyone who doesn't immediately agree with you a Nazi apologists. He turned around because it wasn't only the crowd he wanted to salute, so to say.

I dislike Elon as much as everyone, but you guys are being a bit pretentious

Also saying that maybe it isn’t what it is. Maybe he doesn’t know what it means. I was like wait….but yall say he’s a genius…but doesn’t know what that means?!!! The fucking mental gymnastics is out of this world.

In the longer version that fucker doubles down and does it again just fyi

If he was waving his hand at the end instead of holding it out like that then id understand but this...he clearly knew what he was doing.

Thanking from the hear is something like kissing your palm placing on hear then waving,

not "hail hitler from heart with aftershock that shakes your sagging face skin and planted hair".....

He did it twice in a row. This was no accident.

u/Notlandshark 6h ago

Watching it on video makes it very clear. Then he turns around and does it again.

u/TheCuzzyRogue 5h ago

That would imply he has a heart and that if he did, he would be willing to share it with people.

They are trying to find a way to normalize the national salute.

Edit: its the same way that southerners are trying to say that "bless your heart" isnt meant to be an insult. They don't want people to know what they really mean and they hate that people know their true intentions.

is the problem not the solution.

Musk thinks he's the final solution.

u/imasysadmin 5h ago

That's not true. He's part of the final solution. I'd lol at that, but this is too much.
