I'm on the fence here, tbh. Elon Musk is media trained. He's an intelligent man, too. And no, he's not Hitler.
He must know that any gesture resembling the Roman Salute will get talked about.

"Dog whistling" to the far-far-right? Trolling the libs for fun? Or just a load of nothing?
The added plausible deniability from his words is so very perfect as to be deliberate. He may as well have said "he's about THIS tall and he's standing over THERE".

No, I don't think he's a big ol' Nazi. That would be a spastic thing to assume.
Yes, I do think there's a non-zero chance that he's knowingly playing funny games. This is the man who called his new department DOGE, right?
He may well have done it for the meme. That's not crazy talk.

He's also incredibly autistic and prob a bit of an aspie.

He's also a sperg. Never forget that part. He obviously intended to make the gesture as he was saying "my heart goes out to you", but he missed the timing somehow, then autistically carried through anyway because that's what autists do.

Elon getting super-pumped and stimming out something that looks like a Sieg Heil being front page news was not something I was expecting, but holy shit do I love it.

Autism screams. Godspeed Musk.

the thing is, even as autistic as he is, even he knew what it looked like 1 millisecond after he did it and actively modified his speech to explain that it's not a nazi thing - he said "I give my heart to you" right after he did it.

Still not good enough for them, however. They are hell bent on finding evil Nazis at every possible turn, and re-litigating a going on 90 year old conflict as some sort of mass humiliation ritual, over and over and over and over and over again.

- but the lying press does as the lying press does, and the ravening emotional masses who are complicit in the big lie, they become the problem for any right-thinking man or woman who elects to live in the cold dawn of reality.

I have to wonder how hard Trump would have gone had the assassination attempts didn't happen. There still was the legal fuckery going on so he was inclined to fight back already, but would we see such a strong push from day 1?

The funniest part is this is only going to make more deranged leftists call him a Nazi, like they'll see this as direct evidence.

This Elon arm gesture nonsense is the most boring fake controversy since that comedian (accurately) called Puerto Rico a floating pile of trash.

Oh yeah, and I remember when that completely sank Trump's campaign and lost him the election! Boy, what blunders they keep making!

I've thought much the same about the election and overall pendulum swing. Leftists are upset because they never knew they could lose ground.

Leftists' view of history is simply that they are on the right side of it, everything eventually goes their way, and maybe rightwingers stuck in the past can be a temporary hindrance to progress, but it's only delaying the inevitable.

That's why they're so surprised by Trump's popular vote win, which itself is only symptomatic of a harder rightward shift throughout the Wester World, why they're so surprised Disney is axing trans characters, and instructing future films to be less gay and environmental.

Memes like "Set your clocks back an hour and not the country back 50 years" is actually how they feel. They are just as jarred as if the sun started rising in the West and setting in the East!

I mean they thought we were at the end of history, Francis fukayama and entering in the end of history phase. Now they're starting to see society collapse into something they don't recognize.

Also the iq of the average leftists has been dropping since the 1990s high. Look it turns out huffing the farts of new age atheism and intellectual smugness will do that to ya. South Park was warning them yet they didn't see it.
