View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture
Elon thinks that he controls the media now, which means he can control the message. He knows, and entirely intended to do a Nazi salute. He also thinks it will play well to his base, and he can just fill social media with "it wasn't a Nazi salute, WTH is wrong with the Libs?" gaslighting to keep any blowback from occurring.
It's the kind of reasoning that you do when you spend your entire day high on coke and ketamine.

I mean, it has worked. Look at how anybody who speaks out against him is promptly fired, like that CBS weatherman.
This is going to get worse before it gets better.

"it wasn't a Nazi salute, WTH is wrong with the Libs?"
The funny thing is, he did not really say that. yeah, he stated that being called a nazi is "soo booring" now, but he did never refute that this was NOT a nazi salute. this was only done by others. stating his autism (for which there is no evidence), his ketamine use, it being a "roman salute" or whatever else. now, the whataboutism of anyone else that they can get a pic on that holds out his or her hand with a flat palm.
