I mean it just doesn't matter what it was "supposed" to be. How many times have we seen things that are sooort of close to the nazi salute so people are like "hey better not do that." And this is stuff that's like basically just anything holding your hand in the air. This was straight up the salute lol I mean there's no two ways about it. The question is what the intention was. And if it wasn't intended to be some sort of nod to Nazism or fascism or something, why in the flying fuck would you do it?! lol I mean everyone in the literal world knows it would prolly be a bad idea to do anything like that but the self proclaimed Uber genius, smartest man in the world, ultra mega mastermind, God gamer musk... It just slips his mind?
The fact that he does it with such force and enthusaism too...
And turns 180 to do it again.
The guy is clearly a fucking Nazi.
And without denial.
Biting his bottom lip so hard.
so either it was an intended nazi salute or this guy is a fucking moron, or both.
He may be a moron, but he knew exactly what he was doing and he meant it with every fiber of his being.
I hate that narrative that the most powerful people on earth are like just morons when they do bad things. Trump got that treatment a lot and I don't think you become the president of the USA a second time if you're an idiot.
Same goes for elon.
There is no excuse IMO.
I mean they're not mutually exclusive though. They can be both morons and evil.
Yeah but can they be generally stupid? I think that's just copium. They're not stupid.
I mean Trump obviously is, its not exactly hard to see from how he talks and acts. You can also see from his tax records how he has managed to consistently lose money over decades as one of the worst businessmen ever. When you have that much money you can make more by just hiring a financial planner to invest it in the market for you. Instead he managed to lose money investing in a casino? Thats honestly kind of impressively dumb.
Elon might be smarter than the average person, but that isn't saying much when over half the US cannot read at a sixth grade level. He certainly isn't the genius that people make him out to be.
100% and you gotta do some Olympic gold medal level mental gymnastics to even entertain any other possibility imo
