The Musk apologists are arguing this was a Roman salute and was delivered in the context of "my heart goes out to all of you".

I would counter he is a literal Nazi who is pushing the limits of signalling that with a figleaf of deniability for the needy followers to clutch on.

He isn't fooling me but the real question is - is it fooling any of you?

Consensus seems to be it was exactly what it looked like.

❌ "Roman" salute

❌ "Enthusiastic" gesturing

✅ Nazi salute (x 2). His heart goes out to his Nazi-loving comrades.

@adwright It's the simpler explanation.

All these people saying Elon is not trolling end up rolling out these bizarre conspiracy theories... when It's so much simpler just to say maybe the troll is trolling?

@volkris

Dude, believe what you wish. I know what I saw.

And it's a sucker's bet he will "troll" Nazi stuff again.

And again after that.

Google what his father has to say about the in-laws.

Anyways cheery-bye.

@adwright I mean I'm sure he will troll again. He does it to get a reaction, you give him a reaction, so he's rewarded, and your reaction is encouraging him to do it again.

He's laughing at you.
