Elon Musk repeatedly does Nazi Salutes at Post-Inauguration Celebration - FTFY
- Some seriously soft language is being used by reporters. Just call it what it is. It was a clear sieg heil, twice!!
Many times a still shot can be taken at the right /wrong moment where it gives the illusion of a nazi salute. It annoys me when people say " oh my god that's a nazi salute " when it's someone in the middle of simply waving.
Then there's this guy who is doing something where there just isn't any other way to interpret the gesture. The only thing missing was him yelling Heil Trump!
- Rare moment where the video context proves the point further
  
  Bull.
  Catch a hand as it's moving its not proof.
- People insisting this isn't the salute because it doesn't resemble the "true nazi salute used by hitler himself". They're now nitpicking minor detail as a defend.
  
  Yes, it's the intentions behind it just as equally.
  It's like saying kys doesn't mean "kill yourself" just because it's doesn't spell it explicitly.
no, it's not a simply fascist salute is a NAZI salute
Appears???? It was.
when someone shows you who they are believe them
Say what we will, but he sure is living up to his role in government efficiency. It hasn't even been a full day and got straight to the point with his policies. In no more than a single gesture, too. /s
Musk is a piece of human shit. Do not in any way support him.
I’m assuming to thunderous applause?
- Unfortunately, yes. In the video, the crowd goes wild.
I would say what I think but mods here will just delete it or ban me
- I'll say it, let's see what happens!
  The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Go make the world a better place
  
  Inglorious basterds is a documentary.
It's a nazi salute, objectively.
And very objectively, Musk knows it is, and knew it when he was doing it.
He is intelligent, he knows exactly what he's doing. The "playing dumb" card ain't gonna work.
