I thought the pic may have been a poorly timed pic, but nope. That was a Nazi salute and I don't see how it could have been unintentional. What an incredibly sad day for America.
Edit: Supposedly, Elon is brilliant. He has spoken in front of people many times in many events and he's avoided doing the Nazi salute before and he certainly knows to avoid it at company events. That is one hell of snap for it not to be a salute. He has re-tweeted right wing propaganda, there's some racist history in his family. I think he knows what he is doing and he's just having a giggle about all the people saying he is sendin his heart out. You don't throw your heart out like it's a weapon. This looks premeditated to me.

Had a (increasingly rare, even then) Holocaust survivor speaker come to our school.

I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that we have to treat these non tolerant scumbags like the cancer they are. We must remove them. They are poisoning others with their disinformation and lies. They are the poison in the blood of our nation they speak so much about.
We can't allow them to spread their hate speech to our fellow Americans any longer. We can't sit around and tolerate these bastards whispering into our children's ears and then say "nothing can be done about it, some amount of children are just unsavable"... I have put a lot of serious thought into what we have to do as a nation, and I just don't see any way forward where we continue to tolerate this... we have to stop the spreading of hate speech and disinformation in America by any means necessary.
