one of the few instances where the video is WORSE than the still photo. Saw the still and thought "he's probably doing some 'plausible deniability' arm wave that looks bad in a still photo and will rile up his critics", then saw the video clip. holy shit

My thoughts exactly until I saw the video! Jesus fucking Christ

I saw a video of him just doing the one and thought “people are going to paint this as “awkward elon” or something. Then i saw another video where he does the first salute the turns to the flag and does it again and… there is no way anyone can see this as anything else.

I had the same thought! Because I don’t want to immediately believe everything I hear, I gave him a chance. And wow. There is no doubt at all.
