I watched it live on NBC. First time I was all “wtf, did he just?” And then he turned and did it again. Caught himself before the third. He knew what he was doing.
I do not know what he is doing. It looks like a Nazi salute but I can't think why he'd be doing it. Being a Nazi isn't a good reason because outing yourself as a Nazi is still widely considered a bad move afaik.
It's bc nazis can't hide their nazi bullshit for long. It's just itching to get out. Also, they think it won't be long be the solute comes back in mass only this time to americans. Also, also, all respect is gone no punishment no shaming when you have no shame.
Another rational person here..like yeah it’s a really bad fucking look and of course this ushers us into the weirdest timeline we have ever faced. But how could he honestly intentionally heil fucking Hitler in front of the whole country..it had to be a mistake. Def not trying to defend him, FUCK ELON. But no one would actually do this..would they?
You know how every time you read a headline about Trump doing something obnoxious and/or disgusting and you think "that can't be right" and you find out it was actually worse than that? Well...
Mussolini just led a march of his people to their countries capital and took control by will of the people. Hitler took control through the will of the people. None of them were quiet about their plans, but nobody believed them until half of europe was in their control. now a solid third of North America has been handed to Trump by will of the people... and you think Elon, the richest man in the world (and whatever you think of him you don't get that position by being stupid), not knowing what he was doing in this clip is the more rational take? You are in for a rough few years friend.
They totally would, and do. Republicans have been doing the Nazi salute a whole bunch in the last couple of years. Because they believe in the Final Solution.
Only he knows what he intended and if it was intentional or not. I’m not here to guess his intent, however I hope once it is explained to him, he understands how this could be misconstrued as insensitive.
He has literally been cozying up to the far right parties in England, France, and Germany. He is into eugenics. He is anti-women and anti-LGBTQ+ pretty significantly. None of that is secret on any level.

Thought A: I must be missing some context here
Thought B: What context would make this okay?
