He did not do a Nazi salute. That is propaganda from legacy media. He has never even said anything remotely Nazi-like. He is pro free speech, pro humanity, pro USA.

"Don't believe your lying eyes", eh?

You must have simply missed it, because it was recorded and everyone with eyes can clearly see it. Maybe it's just not spread very widely in your media bubble.

Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw

PS: You're defending a billionaire who would poison the water in your grandmother's neighborhood to save a few cents on his tax bill. Poor people like you mean nothing to him. He even treats his daughter like shit, just because she was brave enough to live her life as her own. He's a morally bankrupt person, who got where he is by treading on and abusing people, just like any other billionaire.

  • Your line of reasoning has been attempted already, nearly verbatim. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47712820

    • No, the observation that you are a politically motivated actor telling us to ignore evidence that we saw with our own eyes was repeated by myself and another person, because it rhymes exactly with historical precedent. That wasn't the "line of reasoning", it was a quote.

      The line of reasoning is everything which came after, which you of course ignored.

The Anti-Defamation League said it was not a Nazi salute,[7] but other Jewish organizations disagreed and condemned the salute.[8][9][10][11] American public opinion was divided on partisan lines as to whether it was a fascist salute.[12] Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups celebrated it as a Nazi salute.[15][16]

Don't trust my words, just look at the salute yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk_salute_controversy

  • Why would a Nazi go to Israel, meet with Netanyahu, visit Auschwitz and light a candle in solidarity, and generally support Jews? It makes no sense.

    People just hate Elon and call everyone a Nazi. It is not an accusation that is taken seriously anymore.

    • I think the psyop for the past year has unironically been that Israelis are nazis. It sounds dumb, because it is.

"Who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?"

  • It is a Rorschach test.

    I see an awkward attempt of someone with Asperger's saying "my heart goes out to you", which is what he said while making the gesture.

    You apparently saw a Nazi salute.

    Given he has no other Nazi tendencies before or since, I did not see a Nazi salute.

    In fact he visited Israel after Oct 7, a decidedly non-Nazi thing to do. Netanyahu himself praised Elon and said he is being smeared.
