I’m not sure how there’s any doubt about his little salute now…

It seemed pretty obvious to me, but people do like to pretend

The number of people I’ve seen going “omg he just trolling” and “he really knows how to rile up the populace” as excuses for him not “meaning it” when he did his nazi salute have already driven me mad.
Keep call out the nazis you see for what they are.

The “it was just a joke, chill” sort of excuse should still be treated just the same as a sincere gesture, anyways.
You can be a fascist and ironically do a nazi salute at the same time
You can be a nazi and not do a nazi salute
Does it matter if he did a nazi salute if his actions are already bad enough?
Pretty sure nazi salutes are illegal in Germany
Hence the dog-whistling.

Also there are people in the German government calling for him to be banned from the country
“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.
JFC. Might as well say “make Germany Aryan again”.
We have Weimar 1933: USA Edition
How about Weimar 1933: Germany Nostalgia Edition?
We’ll find out by the end of February.
Like a particularly bad smell in a room of farts.
Straight up foreign interference
Not that it makes a huge difference but why did you omit “on video” from your title?
It didn’t seem like an important detail. He chose to appear at a thinly vailed Nazi rally, whether it was in person or on video doesn’t really make a difference to me.
The AfD seem to be pretty fond of Nazi imagery themselves
Yeah, any excuses Elon and his supporters come up with at this point is just gaslighting on their part.
Imagine if he did same thing in Germany and goes to jail.
