I didn’t think I was still capable of being shocked but the nazi salute at the president’s podium did actually shock me a little. They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more. I would hope that this shit makes people avoid musk-related products like they’re a rabid rottweiler. I kinda feel bad for people who bought a Tesla years ago though. Also, spaceX has to be a national security issue now.

They’re still trying to pretend:
Alternative explanations for the gesture are plausible. Musk is socially awkward, and he may have been stiffly trying to throw love to the crowd for helping put Trump back in office. “My heart goes out to you,” he said after he did the gesture a second time.
I’ve got autism and I’m not doing sieg heil even when I want to stop a taxi. Let alone on the main fuckin stage of the US with the world watching. Fuckin nazis back in power.
All those “explanations” babbling about Musk’s “intentions”… aaah, when will they cut off the crap???
Like. Let’s pretend for a moment that Musk was totally trying to convey “my heart goes out to you” or crap like that. It doesn’t bloody matter - regardless of his “intentions”, the gesture conveys support to Nazism, and it’s the only sensible way to interpret it within that context.
If I somehow accidentally did a Nazi salute my first response would be “Oh my god, I am so sorry, that was not my intention. Nazi’s are bad and I denounce all Nazis.” Then I would explain what I was trying to do.
Musk hasn’t bothered with the apology or denouncing Nazis, because it wasn’t a mistake and he was saying it nice and loud for the people in the back.
The most generous interpretation for people defending it is that they know it was a Nazi salute and they are trying to maintain “plausible” deniability. The only other explanation is they are complete fucking morons.
Rolling stone? That’s disappointing. Yeah I’ve seen similar shit in the media. But I’m thinking if it acts like a nazi and looks like a nazi it is probably a fuckin nazi. it’s pretty fuckin alarming, a lot of people died getting rid of them last time they gained power.
