Supposed? He slapped his chest, and flung his arm hard into a heil. And then he turned around and heiled the flag.
He grew up in apartheid South Africa, where his grandparents moved because they wanted to support apartheid. His grandparents were nazis; as in Errol Musk has stated they were in the "German [Nazi] Party but in Canada", and supported Hitler in the 1940s. Elon would have picked up on these influences, and Elon himself has supported AFD, the current german nazi party. By all accounts, it's not out of character for Elon to heil. I mean, if we for some reason are discounting the obvious visual evidence that he did, in fact, heil.
Pleas explain to me how that wasn't a nazi salute.
The ADL says it was an awkward gesture, not a nazi salute. Snopes says his grandparents weren't nazis. And even if they were, it wouldn't make him a nazi. I'm sure many Germans have nazi grandparents, but that doesn't make them nazis.
>Elon himself has supported AFD, the current german nazi part
No, the current nazi party is Die Heimat (or whatever they call themselves). AFD just wants common sense immigration reform.
