View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture

View parent comment

That’s what I’m wondering. I’m willing to believe it wasn’t intentionally a nazi salute, because he does hit his chest/heart first, and that’s never been part of a nazi salute. But he should have come out right away and said that wasn’t what he intended. The fact that he is actively working to keep it in the conversation thinks that they’ve decided they want this to be the distraction from the several hundred executive orders that Trump is doing right now. And it looks like it is working. It’s the number one thing I see right now on both Reddit and Instagram.

I’m also willing to believe he did it on purpose just cause he wanted to see America have a full fucking meltdown over it just for the lolz, while having the added benefit of being a massive distraction from the current policy changes

The neo-nazi salute is done that way.

It’s a nazi salute, the cheat/heart first is a weak argument. Stop gaslighting yourself.
