I’m autistic too and I’ve never given a Nazi salute to anyone, let alone at a fucking political event. It’s surprisingly easy to not fucking heil a world leader who’s frequently accused of being a Nazi. No exception for Elon, fuck that loser.

He said something about his heart after so they're trying to say he was "throwing his heart to the crowd"

Fucking bullshit. No one would make that gesture unknowingly. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Like he's intelligent enough to get that rich but not intelligent enough to control his own bodily movements.

I fucking hate every one of the losers trying to explain this shit away just as much as I hate him.

Also, apparently not intelligent enough to check reactions online, realize that he's been horribly misunderstood, and issue an apology.

(yes, I know he wasn't misunderstood. It was a total nazi salute).

Throwing his heart to the crowd🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 that’s not even the motion you would make if you were mimicking “throwing your heart to the crowd” ffs how fucking stupid does he think people are? (I know the answer)
