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.

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.

I see people trying to use the "but he has autism, he probably didn't understand what he was doing!" Except those are the same people that will turn around and yell at a regular person with autism and say "shut up, it's not an excuse!"

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.
