View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture
I don't understand why he's trying to pretend he didn't do it at this point. He clearly meant to, the MAGA crowd loved it, and he's not going to face any consequences. He might as well just admit to being a Nazi.

Too be fair, he can’t admit to nazi cosplaying and being shit at Diablo 4 on the same week, that takes a toll

If he openly admitted it was a Nazi salute he would have a much harder time avoiding consequences for his businesses in other countries, Germany in particular and Tesla has their gigafactory there.

Does he actually pretend? I haven’t seen anything from him yet, just a horde of MAGAts posting stills of people.
Unless I just missed it, I find it very telling that he just lets it cook instead of doing one of those none-apologies “I am sorry some people were offended, I was really just throwing my heart to the crowd, didn’t realize how it could be misconstrued as a Nazi salute blah blah”.
By remaining silent, he lets his followers fight the battle for his image for him, and simultaneously gets all the secret admiration from the (borderline?) Nazis. I wouldn’t be surprised if we soon see people do the “Elon Salute” to support Trump’s unofficial minister of propaganda.
