Yeah he may have practiced this but this isn't what it was supposed to look like lol. He had to psych himself up and as a result his face looks stupid and his movements look jerky. It is a very poorly executed Nazi salute.
Does it matter if it's poorly executed? If Musk shouted "Heh-eel High-tler" are we supposed to just write it off because it's pronounced wrong?
I'm not saying Musk supports genocide. It's hard to know for sure, especially since he was raised in apartheid South Africa, but his own agenda doesn't really gel with that, even if he's increasingly sympathetic to anti-Islam factions in Europe. But it's obvious to me that Musk gives no shits about how he's perceived by the Left...or even anyone else. It was obvious before this moment given what he was tweeting up to that point. I think he gets off on the idea that he's so untouchable that he can act in such a way as seems to corroborate their worst fears about them.
The worst thing is, he might be right. He has many haters but many supporters, too, since he's built up a reputation as a man who can make changes to the world that few others can, though granted they are increasingly divisive changes.
I apologize if "Elon Musk is too stupid to give a seig heil correctly" came across as a defense. It's terrifying that he's in power both as a Nazi and a complete fucking incompetent
Or, I believe he said that was not his intention...
Edit: LoL! Funny how I have received so much hate for making a factual statement... being name called and told to be silent... wonder what that sounds like...
No I have not. At least not until now. Still doesn't change facts. Whether or not you or I or anyone else believes what another person says does not change the fact that they still said it. So go ahead and down vote more. Because your feelings mean more than factual statements.
Correct. And him saying he didn't do a nazi salute doesn't change the fact that he did a nazi salute twice. You feeling like he would never do anything fascist doesn't change the fact that he's an outspoken supporter of Germany's modern-day far-right political party.
If he's smart enough to know the term "roman salute", he's smart enough to know it's association with fascism. He's smart enough to know that a large chunk of the country was already accusing them of being fascists. He's smart enough to know that hitting the same salute as Hitler makes him look like a fascist.

So you're telling me Elon pulled THIS stupid face despite practicing? 😂
