It never cease to amaze me that the usual response (and Musk's defense itself) is that you can find a picture with some other figure with the same gesture.
Who cares about the pictures? There is a whole video where you can see that he does historically accurate nazi salute then turn back and do it again. Stop talking about pictures, always show video of what happened.
Find me a video of someone else doing the same and tell me it's the same. You won't, because what you see in video is much more obvious that what you see on pictures.
People are dump to only show still photo of Musk with this salute. Everyone know you can take picture out of context, when you watch full video it's much harder to do so.
Must was clearly showing it intentionally. Maybe because he's a troll (I wouldn't be surprised), maybe because of other reasons (I hope not...).
Once again, it is incredibly ignorant to suggest that just because it looks like a Nazi salute that was the intention. There’s no reality that suggests that was his intention. It’s just your political brainwashing.
I see you stopped responding when provided with evidence.
Why?
Musk appeared at a far right political rally a short time later, and told them not to be ashamed of their heritage (https://www.gbnews.com/politics/us/elon-musk-afd-germany).
The AfD who he appeared in support of has been found in court to use nazi imagery in political advertising (https://www.world-today-journal.com/afds-moller-fined-e12000...).
So the seig heil didn't happen in isolation, there's a followup of explicit support for nazi-adjacent political ideologies.
Does this count as evidence to support that this was an intentional seig heil to you, even if it doesn't change your mind? What evidence would change your mind?
