The funny/tragic thing is a lot of those people who over analyse every twitchy finger and say such and such is throwing peado symbols are those who say this isn't what it seems.
This is people like Elon exists. Yes all these people made the same gesture in a video as Elon did.
As long as there are peope trying to normalize this sort with completely out of context what about ism which in this case isn't even same context, Elon and his clan will grow.
I can understand your view but why do something like that at President’s in augration? Surely he would be been briefed and there would have been some level of prep.So I decided to watch a few 'documentaries' today about the Sieg Heil.
Wanted to learn more about it - it's origins are with Benito, and the Nazis took it and made the norm (& a requirement) at every function (from weddings to funerals). I guess you can still learn new stuff even on subjects that you should probably know more about?
Regardless, I watched the full video and Musk is incredibly awkward and his motion has differences and similarities.
It definitely wasn't a straight sieg heil. The heart pounding part isn't part of it and his arm seems tilted off to the right side and not straight ahead like Nazi style.
So is Musk a Neo Nazi? Don't think so.
Does Musk support groups who have ties, or are far rightists? Yup.
Does he troll constantly? Yup.
So in conclusion - I'm leaning more toward just awkward excitement and coincidental, but Musk is also the type who would do this intentionally just to troll everyone and get people talking (and over-stage Trump in the process!) and then blame it on the media.
C'est tout from me.

Maybe he was coked up but I don’t know many people who would fall into an sieg heil just based on over excitement. Has he even tried to explain what it was exactly supposed to be if not that? I initially thought was just a free frame meme but on the video, it’s hard to think what else it was suppsed to be. 5yrs ago, he would been cancelled to nowhere but now no real wave.
I refuse to believe that a white South African could be a Nazi.If it speaks like a Nazi, supports comments of Nazis and makes Nazi salutes it’s a fucking a Nazi.

Remember when he had a hissy fit and called that caver a paedo when he wasn't allowed to use his toy sub to try and rescue those kids caught in a cave?
Unfortunately this is where we are. Anyone who generates controversy is given air time and the sensible people can get lost.Recent interview emerged again of his dad.
Who mentions his maternal grandparents moved to south Africa cos they loved the idea of apartheid.
And they supported the German party ( though I think he meant nazi) in Canada in 1930s.
Tbh he said how it was polar to his own views at the time.
And we should have sacked him off when the kids in the cave thing happened.
I think he's always wanted to be seen as a genius and saviour of humanity but he doesn't build that stuff himself.
He realised his popularity grew after the crypto pushes on twitter and then more when he went on rogan and smoked weed.
He realised that he could troll in real life, say stuff like fuck advertisers and it gains traction online.
Why I don't think it matters if he's briefed or whatever, he'll do what's best for him and his companies/vision.
Part of that is continuing to support the breakdown of media who opposed him and his views.
That's not what I was saying. I said that normally the right wing consipracy crowd over-analyse every single hand movement and claim that they're flashing symbols for the illuminati whereas when Elmo does something they jump in to defend him.
Also, in two of those photos they're not even using the right hand and I've seen the footage of Kamala...

Fair enough.
I'm not taking any sides. Except to point out the fact that we as a human race are dumb af...
There's a million and one things to focus and debate on but nooooo, hand signs are more important than policies which really should be the main discussion topic. I agree with Elon that legacy media really are good for nothing. So many things to print, but they have to print that tripe and stoke up the flames again. And you'd think ppl are more intelligent to not fall for it but unfortunately...nope. Like if you want to hold DOGE (pun unintended) and Elon accountable, keep a watchful eye on his policy-making instead. That's how good governance works, when both parties keep each other in check.
This probably also explains why those mysterious spaceships/drones are no longer seen anymore. Those aliens probably had a look at us and thought, we aint invading this dumb planet !! They'll kill each other very soon anyways !

He did it twice too.I didn't go back to where we discussed things but I think Musk's actions and X post since his salute make me think he was intending it to be Nazi style - like more likely than not.
Based on how Musk works, I think ti was probably just for trolling purposes (take the stage from trump, piss of all his enemies, etc ... narcissist par excellance) but I'm leaning toward intentional now.
He did it twice too.
Anyway, since all this pro Trump business/cryptos rheteroic, stocks down a bit and crypto down a bit. Total Meh so far on that side…
The fact it took that to boot him out was saying something. Is he not one of mates from Lawrence Fox and the other nut bag who keeps burning religious text in public?He’s been booted out of the church. Too fucking late. He’s always been a horrible cunt. Typical with these Evangelical Christians in the states who don’t have a single amount of Christianity about them.
He is a proper disgusting human being. Once he started his rhetoric he should’ve been sacked.The fact it took that to boot him out was saying something. Is he not one of mates from Lawrence Fox and the other nut bag who keeps burning religious text in public?
