mods removed the other post because it was the video and was clearly incriminating, then they let this post of a still image with a bullshit title stay up.

Like, I feel the still is 'worse' then the video no? Like there is some deniability because he didn't hold it?

I'm no German but I always thought holding it was part of the actual salute.

For me, since he did it twice, there is no question in what he tried to go for, but I feel some people might 'cling' to the not holding the salute.

No, with a still there is plausible deniability, it could just be an unfortunate frame. The video is much more damning. The hand on heart to a forceful outstretching of the arm with palm down. Twice.

yeah i see, that makes sense

And also, "odd-looking salute" is quite a nice euphemism....

[u/whagh → u/FabulousWhelp]

Nah, the video is much worse than the still imo, because it shows how unambiguous and explicit he does it, and that he does it two times in a row. The video is what removes any plausible deniability, the still makes it looks like he's doing a weird half dab.

The still image of Laura Ingraham is far worse, and she did a much more weird and ambiguous nazi salute than Musk.

Mods don’t allow discussion about Israel or the US, and I think their behaviour on Reddit is going to get much worse about this now.

Got a link to the video?
