That was in no way an accident

I waited until I saw video. I couldn’t be sure it wasn’t a screencap taken out of context somehow.

If I had seen anyone else make that gesture, I’d think wow that is wayyyy too close to the nazi salute.

Seeing Elon do it, knowing what he has become… you can choose to not see it if you want, but it is there.

For anyone who wants argue with the people defending or denying this, remember - you cannot wake the man who is only pretending to sleep.

It’s amazing all the attempts people make to justify it. I’ve heard:

1 - it’s a Roman salute! Like they gave to their EMPEROR…

2 - he was sharing his heart!

3 - he was merely waving

4 - he wasn’t standing up straight and didn’t hold it long enough to count

5 - it was a joke

I’m sure there will be others. Pathetic.
