    Not to mock anybody for freaking out about nothing but… Holding your arm out to the side at a 180° angle is not a Nazi salute.

      That’s true, you can’t always trust a snapshot. But watching the video removes all doubt what he’s doing.

        And you don’t even have to rewind the video to see it again, he does it twice.

          In case you still have any doubts, he hasn’t commented on the fact entire world has seen him do a nazi gesture. Multible times. At a political rally. For the right wingers. Honestly all the people saying it wasn’t a nazi salute are disagreeing with musk apparently.

        Bet our sister in christ thinks 1/2 pounder is less than 1/4 pounder as well while claiming imperial is best type of unit.

      You are correct. If Elon were doing that he wouldn’t be doing a Nazi salute. But he’s clearly doing a Nazi salute instead.

      I agree wholeheartedly. We all agree. Glad you are debunking that one image used to claim that a lot of politicans (and Taylor Swift) are also doing the nazi salute, when it was just musk.

      Putting a pistol to your head and pulling the trigger WON’T kill you.
