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

View parent comment

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.
