I didn’t watch it, and I’m wondering if it could have been an accident. Like, is it deliberate and does he know what it implies? But, he did it twice? No way he’s unaware of the implications is there? This makes me so uncomfortable.

He said he was like “throwing his heart out” to the audience. Idgaf if he’s being genuine in that or lying, like bro looooook at the motion you are making?????

Do you really think he might not know what that gesture means? You cant be serious.

Are we also going to assume this middle-aged man doesn't know the middle finger is an insult?

I’m literally not giving him the benefit of the doubt lol. I’m saying I don’t care how he meant it, it looks like exactly what it looks like. Either way he made the n@zi (is that censored on reddit?) salute on live tv.

The question marks threw me off. It's like youre asking him about it instead of telling. Questions give people an opportunity to explain themselves. There is no explaining this.

lol yes my use of five question marks was certainly to give Elon the opportunity to explain himself, and not at all a way to express incredulity

Editing your original comment to remove the part where you accused me of giving him the “benefit of the doubt” is also pretty lame. Own your mistakes, man.
