He did put on a weird stank face when he did it. He thought he was doing something but I don't think he was aiming for nazi salute. He's happy to trigger the libs over it but I think in the moment it was somewhere between the weird jump he did on stage and the ketamine putting enough holes in his brain that he thought this was a normal 'my heart goes out to you all' gesture.

He thought he was doing something but I don’t think he was aiming for nazi salute.
He did it more than once.
He did it exactly like Nazis did it.
Once to the crowd. Turn around and once more to the Fuhrer or Nazi flag.
You don't need to make excuses. He did it.

We're cooked guys.
Buy a gun.
Quit linking Twitter and X. Almost any other site will do.
Hatband's too tight and it shows
its just a roman salute bro 🤓
I know you're joking, but I still struggle to see how that makes things better? We have evidence that the Romans also committed genocide.
The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire
So I'm with you, I have no idea how "it's a roman salute" is supposed to make anything better
Ok, so imagine that you're a billionaire and a really smart dude (as claimed by so many people on the internet). And you get into government and appear on TV and want to look good. You might hire a publicist, a PR team, some speechwriters, hell how about a body language consultant. When you go on TV you're going to project exactly the image you intend to. Anything less would be careless and stupid, right?
So yeah. This was a Nazi salute. And if you really want to argue that it wasn't, that Musk doesn't even know what a Nazi is, you gotta also accept that he's grossly incompetent and should not be in government at all. Throw him out, we didn't vote for him.
What a fucking clown show of a state lmao. An empire in such steep decline that even the oligarchs and the politicians are incompetent.
Smart? He only has enough money to buy smart ~~slaves~~ employees.
i think in a logical society it would have been the other way around (second image would be the first)
Well, our society is everything else, than Logical
I've tried to imagine how I would gesture 'my heart goes out to you' vibes. In no world can I imagine a down-turned, flat palm, fingers straight and all together at about 45° (Nazi salute).
Like, if you were to give some one something (your metaphorical heart) you'd hand it over palm up. Or if you're metaphorically distributing it like sewing seeds you would again, throw it out, palm up, hands slightly closed. Or if you're throwing it like sand, you would have your fingers apart by the end of the throw.
In no world, does this make any sense other being a Nazi salute.
Or he's the most awkward, weird dude in history. That is also, true, but given his other behaviour, I dunno how this could be read in any other way.
Racist "dog-wistling" is dead. This guy does two successive straight-up Nazi salutes after supporting right-wing politics in the USA and Germany and mainstream media still goes "hum, I'm not sure, maybe he's sharing his heart"?
What's next? "Oh no, it's not a swastica flying over the capitol, it's just 4 'F's in a circle".

Diese Besitznotiz gilt nicht für Elon Musk. Den könnt ihr gerne behalten, wir brauchen keinen zweiten Höcke der zusätzlich noch viel zu viel Geld hat.
You know what's worse than a guy waving his arm around?
Women and children actually being murdered in Gaza.
It's funny that this gets so much outrage but the genocide in Gaza isn't causing as much hysteria.
Open your eyes. This shit is gonna cause more deaths in Gaza, and outside of Gaza.
How?
WDYM Biden worked tirelessly towards a ceasefire.
Anyways how stupid are people to not realize Elon made a Nazi salute am I right?
/s
He also supplied billions of dollars which killed 1000's of men women and children
Musk wants kids in Gaza killed, just like he wants people in America dead.
Both are murder, both aren't okay.
