      Some seriously soft language is being used by reporters. Just call it what it is. It was a clear sieg heil, twice!!

    Many times a still shot can be taken at the right /wrong moment where it gives the illusion of a nazi salute. It annoys me when people say " oh my god that’s a nazi salute " when it’s someone in the middle of simply waving.

    Then there’s this guy who is doing something where there just isn’t any other way to interpret the gesture. The only thing missing was him yelling Heil Trump!

      Rare moment where the video context proves the point further

            Did you read my original comment?

            I clarified that the video showed elon was making that salute. (No argument there)

            What the primer81 that I was responding to was saying was that there are OTHER instances where a person (not elon) had a picture taken of them waving. But the picture was taken at a specific moment where it appeared they were giving a salute and the commentor was claiming that was further proof of a salute (from that other person)… I called bull. A picture is a moment in time and it’s not hard to get a picture at an inopportune time.

            Re read the comments going up to my original comment.

              Oh you misinterpreted my comment my guy. I was agreeing with you while noting that often the video context of still images will reveal that the still image was not as it seems…

              Yup, sorry about that. A cursory reading of the thread led me to believe you were someone else arguing against your original comment.

                No they are just confused about my comment - they thought I was saying the opposite of what I was saying 🫠

                I also thought it was a different person arguing against the original post - I was about to defend them from themselves 🤣

          Wait what? I was agreeing with you wasn’t I? Your original comment implied you recognized it as a seig heil after watching the video. Are you the same person?

      People insisting this isn’t the salute because it doesn’t resemble the “true nazi salute used by hitler himself”. They’re now nitpicking minor detail as a defend.

        Yes, it’s the intentions behind it just as equally.

        It’s like saying kys doesn’t mean “kill yourself” just because it’s doesn’t spell it explicitly.

    Say what we will, but he sure is living up to his role in government efficiency. It hasn’t even been a full day and got straight to the point with his policies. In no more than a single gesture, too. /s

      Unfortunately, yes. In the video, the crowd goes wild.

    It’s a nazi salute, objectively.

    And very objectively, Musk knows it is, and knew it when he was doing it.

    He is intelligent, he knows exactly what he’s doing. The “playing dumb” card ain’t gonna work.
