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

Plausible deniability.

It's engineered. He makes an obvious Nazi salute, but says "my heart goes out to you" at the same time.

Now, he has signaled to his Nazi minions, and they react with glee. Because they are Nazis. They get hard from Nazi salutes.

But the rest of the world gets gaslit. "Nazi salute? Why I was merely greeting my brethren!"

So he gets to have it both ways; the right wing re**rds are smitten, and now there is proof in their minds that the world is against them. They are galvanized.

The rat fucker machine then spreads pictures of people with their arms out to claim hypocrisy (conveniently leaving out the video context).

The only question I have is, why?

Neo-nazi support is insignificant, and not very reliable. It turns off more people than it gains. Explicit fascism is unpopular even amongst the American right.
