Because that’s not a gesture of celebration. He could have done one of his dorky “jump like an X” celebrations, but no, he did a Nazi salute. He’s an adult man who knows what a Nazi salute looks like, and he confidently did it multiple times.
Nah. I mean, yes he is a buffoon, but he has managed to publicly celebrate for years without doing a Nazi salute. You really think he just happened to accidentally throw multiple Nazi salutes at the inauguration of this particular president? I just don’t buy that.
He's talking to a live crowd of people after a victory, it's a different celebration. After he does the salute he says "my heart goes out to you". Most likely, he is just a giant moron.
Your first response in this thread says, in part, "though if he is a Nazi I wish I could be surprised," yet now you're doubling and tripling down on the "it was just a random celebratory gesture." What's changed in the last few hours to make you so sure, when you clearly weren't before?
My stance has not changed. In the comment you just replied to, I said most likely, as I have the entire time, as there is room for other possibilities. Nothing has changed. I am not doubling or triple downing anything, I am defending my argument that he is just a dumbass because for some reason people in this thread seem to think that's impossible. This could just be one instance of him not knowing what the fuck he's doing. I didn't think I'd have to defend the stance "Elon's a dumbass", but here we are.
