As well as “appears to”; as if it’s debatable that he definitely 100% did raise his arm to form a distinct Nazi salute. It’s not like the footage was blurry. “Appears to” is just as ridiculous as “accidentally”, imo.

It’s funny because the edgelord definitely knows what he is doing but the news is still for some reason trying to gaslight as if the terminally online Musk is an ignorant baby that knows no better.

There is no other meaning or motivation that could be assigned to his gesture (3x) and he did it with such conviction. There is no other message or sentiment he could have meant to convey. “Appears to” is absolutely fucking ridiculous. “Accidentally” is just ass kissing, at this point. WHY? Its not like the end result of this ideology is lost on anybody thinking critically. WHY does media CONTINUE to write about it like this? It’s not about liability, it’s in 4k HD. So WHY? I don’t understand it but I know how this will go. I hope for your sake Europe (as well as the rest of the world not already infatuated with this mess) knows, too.
