    look there was no plausible deniability when Elon did it. He pretended like he was a weirdo autist the night of with his weird head bobbing and his exaggerated gestures to try and give plausible deniability. but the Nazi salute was putting the toe in the water. feeling the room

    it seems that the wannabe Nazis felt like the water was warm enough and they’re gonna start descending the staircase into the pool

      The thing about musk that boggled my mind was that not only did he do it once, but he turned 180 degrees to do it again.

        Yeah lol, he did the whole thing. Looks a lot like he turns around just to salute what I assumed was a flag in the backdrop somewhere, but supposedly there were more people back there. But still, who does the whole thing? Actually, first, why do it after and not as an accent during the speech act? I think his gestures and words aren’t typically disjointed so this is interesting. Who feels the need to suck in their lower lip to do a “heart goes out” gesture? This is an “I’m about to be edgy / go for it” face, not a “heart love beam” face. During his brief expression right before he starts speaking again, he comes off rather pleased with himself.
