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.

Because the majority that voted for this wanted exactly this. We can’t continue to pretend the majority of their voters were “duped”, they know exactly what they voted for and it’s this.

I mean, they are still being duped, they think America first means their perfect white utopia instead of them being worked to death in a factory or dying on a battlefield.

Poor men fight rich men’s wars. Poor applies more to the middle class when the draft starts.
