He fucking did it live on stage in front of live cameras, he is supposed to be some super intelligent person, the grandson of nazi's knows exactly what he is doing when he does the the Sieg Heil salute.
Do not pretend he did it by mistake or any other dumb crap, he did it, own it.

there's more of these from other political figures. You can continue to live in fear that some autist is some Nazi that's going to program your next Tesla to explode while you sip on your Starbucks latte.

>guy makes a hand gesture superficially similar to a nazi salute with an obviously mundane intent in context
"HES A NAZI OMG"
>guys we send drones, guns, artillery and short range ballistic missiles film themselves posing in front of nazi flags and heiling hitler with a big black sun tattoo on their foreheads

I mean the grandson of a guy who LITERALLY MOVED FROM CANADA TO AFRICA IN SUPPORT OF THE NAZI PARTY, is not some one i am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to.
The musk family are nazi's, always have been, right back to before the war.

There is plenty of pictures of people with their arms out, people do that all the time, elon did the entire fucking salute, on camera, on purpose.

Honestly I don't give enough of a shit to continue arguing about this lmao. Every one of you is going hysterical over this shit, this is your biggest problem right now, that's how comfortable you're. Now back to the matters of making sure people can put food on the table.

Ah yes, and the trump family scamming 40 billion dollars out of the economy achieved that how exactly?

No. I can call a troll a troll and be disappointed that this appointed individual who holds a lot of power and hopefully can and will do great things has been acting like a total tool.

It's quite clear what he intentionally did and then you pair that with straight up arguing with gamers and his own fucking ai calling him a likely liar which is great, it creates reason for disappointment.

I think in these current times of total degenerate behaviour you want a class act on stage. Not someone intentionality trolling or baiting.

That's my take anyways.

The guy has been acting over the top even for him as of late. I know he has a bone to pick with media and this is his troll to get them to react but that's not what you want a a voter I wouldn't think. Bring back legitimate role models. We had a walking corpse for 4 years. We don't need a troll now.

I don't disagree that he's a troll in general, often makes a fool of himself in X disputes and has displayed a tendency to abuse power, but this is just an absurd reach and just the same old pattern of anti-Trump nonsense.

I think you're seeing the event through a lens of prejudice where his gesture must be deliberately a Nazi salute to stir the pot, while ignoring the uninteresting truth that it was a simple spontaneous gesture towards someone in the audience.

Elon also thankfully doesn't hold any executive power. He's not elected or appointed to any office that isn't the DOGE contract.

See I legit don't think so because I do think he's highly intelligent, I think that's obvious to anyone that he is. The man has been on stage and in the spotlight for years. He knows how to act and can control himself. I think he perfectly knew what he was doing and it was solely to troll or stir the pot.

I just can't fathom that smart of a guy who's been on stage so many times not knowing exactly what he's doing or how it would be precieved.

Even the ADL, which famously sees nazis hiding behind every corner, is giving Elon the benefit of the doubt:

You guys are literally more hysterical than the ADL
