          What the fuck world are you living in where there is any mistaking it for what it is?

            While the final pose is practically identical to a Nazi solute, the motion is completely different. Hitler’s lifts straight up, like a crane; Musk’s sweeps out from the heart. That’s why I was not sure.

              “it’s only a nazi salute if it is from the Nazideuxe region of France!”

              So what? He’s out of practice? He’s not historically accurate? He definitely tried to throw out a Nazi salute.

          Consider for the moment that he’s rolling his face off so he’s just doing what comes natural and makes him feel warm inside.

      I’m asking this genuinely, how did the salute Elon gave differ from what you think a nazi salute is?

        Okay, I reviewed what the actual Nazi salute looks like. Having done this, I actually do think this strongly resembles a Nazi salute. I think p>80% this was intentional.

            I still think it’s possible this was unintentional, and even more likely that it was intended to toe the line of plausible deniability. When I show this to people in real life, they are unsure, so I don’t think it’s as clean-cut and undeniable as people on social media are saying it is.
