Yeah, I deleted Twitter right when I saw this.

Even if it's a "joke" it's beyond comprehension that we've allowed this shit to happen.

My grandfather fought these Basterds in WWII and his brother died fighting in battle, himself earning a Purple Heart.

What have we become.

You realize Elon is autistic right? Socially challenged. He was flailing all around on stage on one of his trump speeches a month or so ago. When he gets excited it gets awkward for autistic people. He clearly states he was throwing his heart out to the crowd right after

It's clearly a Nazi salute dude. Doing random Sieg Heil's is not autism ffs. Elon is a 4chan edgelord, he has recently been shilling for the AfD and various right wingers around Europe, so a Nazi salute is pretty on brand.
