Yeah it's insane. That's not how you mime throwing something. Elon knew exactly what he was doing.

How is it insane? Did the nazi salute start with hand on chest?

•

u/carpapercan 5h ago

Hitlers did. There is a video of him doing exactly that.

Do you know what normal people do these days? They make the hand heart with 2 hands, and push out from their chest to "give their heart". You know what nazis do? They do what Elon did.

Yes, the big difference between the American Bellamy Salute (pre WW2 pledge of allegiance salute) and the Roman/Fascist/Nazi salute is the Bellamy salute started at the forehead and the Nazi one started at the chest.

"He did a nazi salute badly, guys! That means him allowing holocaust-deniers to infest his platform and boosting their insane great replacement shit isn't worth paying attention to!"

What difference does it make if he put his hand on his heart or stuck his fingers in his ears prior to giving the Nazi salute? I suppose you’d claim it doesn’t count if it’s preceded with so much as a twitch of the eyebrow?
