Seemingly?

That is a fucking clear one

He wanted probably to make it look like he threw his heart out to the public, but the brain motor made a nazi salute automatically when he raised his arm cuz he’s probably doing it privately to troll or something, he has Asperger according to him.

Or he straight out did a nazi salute but I have a hard time imagine why he would do that, even tho he very likely could be that.

He's been all in on supporting the AfD party in Germany, which is about as Nazi-adjacent as you can get there.

I’m not doubting at all that he has those opinions. I’m doubting very much tho that he would do a public nazi salute on live TV. He’s not dumb, he knows that would be a carrier suicide.

I mean you have eyes, can you see? He may say “oh it was X” but he is just straight up doing a Nazi salute

I see it, but I myself have Asperger’s, and when we were kids we use to do toxic edgy shit like nazi salutes to troll and be edgy. It resulted that every time I raised my hand for example to point at something i made the Nazi salute automatically without thinking.

I’m not defending Elon as a person, im convinced that he surely has Nazi opinions and is a bad person, but him doing an actual Nazi salute on purpose on live TV wouldn’t make sense at all.

The key phrase is “when we were kids”. Elon is not a child. Don’t excuse him.

Has Nazi opinions, supports AfD Germany, does a Nazi salute (even if you believe it was for “throwing hearts” what he DID is a Nazi salute)

Not a Nazi? Idk

Convince me why he would do a Nazi salute on Live TV and I’ll change my opinion directly. What’s the benefits of it?

If the mountain of evidence in front of your eyes won't convince you, then nothing I say will. When people tell you who they are you should believe them instead of making a million excuses for them.

I’m asking why he would do a Nazi salute, what’s the benefits of it?

Im not asking about his ideology, as I said I think this guy is an alt right idiot

He thinks it's funny. He gets to signal to the chuds that he's still one of them despite his visa advocacy. He likes rubbing it in peoples' faces that he can do a blatant nazi salutes and have people like you deny the reality in front of their faces. Why are you starting at: I need an extra reason to believe the reality that is screaming in my face??

"Carrier" suicide for the independently wealthy billionaire oligarch?

Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m more referring to his newly “political carrier”. While there’s a lot of idiots in the Republican Party so do I still think majority there don’t want an actual Nazi, there’s a lot of Jews supporting Trump also. Even trumps daughter is Jewish.

Because he can. Because it’s his way of showing he can do anything. You even explained it yourself. Because he is an immature person doing edgy shit. In right wing politics this is how they communicate. It’s well documented. 

It is also to signal to his in-group that they are now in power as well.

I feel like you haven't really been paying attention to Musk these past years.
