"NoOoOo bro, he did something that looks exactly the same as a Nazi salute, but it's DIFFERENT!"
- "Look at these freeze frames of other people in the exact same position" /s
- "Obviously it's the Roman salute" /s

Reminder, the community voted to keep political videos in c/politicalvideos
I’ll leave it up for now because this is concerning and c/politicalvideos doesn’t have the same reach yet.
- I mean he's break dancing, break dancing isn't political.
- 'Me creating new folders in my porn directory '

Who owns one of this guy's cars? How you feelin'?
This fucker has to be making it really tough to ignore his bullshit and divorce it from his companies, right?
<Padme face>
- Honestly, like shit. I've had it for a few years now. If I'd have the money to sell it and get something else, I would, but I don't have the money. Guess I'll need to 3D print a sign for the car.
  I hope someone crashes into it, no-one is hurt, but the damage is so bad I have to get a new car.
  
  You can buy a different car with the money you get from selling it, no? And I assume that will not exactly be a bad car either.
  
  Have money to sell it? I’m sorry I’m confused. Usually selling stuff makes you money! Not being sarcastic, actually confused
- (capitalism and this country of racist idiots displays anakin's stare.)
- Here in California I've seen a number of "I bought this before I knew what he was like" bumper stickers.
- In the back of my head, I always wonder, what if he’s actually brilliant, and this is all just a ploy to get dumb racist rednecks off of ICE vehicles.
  
  If that's his 5d chess plan then he's dumb as shit.
  Rednecks do not want EVs. They want 70k trucks plus a lift kit and modified engines to enable rolling coal on any EV or hybrid they come across. They are on purpose going in the opposite direction out of spite.
  *Also battery energy density isn't capable of hauling big loads for long distances
  Elon is just a moron who failed upwards
  
  I considered that too (the ploy, not the brilliant part) when he initially started changing his tone, but it didn't take long before I realized that was very unlikely. His response the diver that rescued those kids in the flooded cave really sealed it for me realize that he's just a man with too much money and not enough sense.

At least he doesn't need to hide it anymore.
- If what he was doing was "hiding" it, then I can only fathom where he goes from here.
- Nope. American voters made sure of that.

A picture can be a freeze frame of any movement. The video of it made clear that he heiled.
But damn, he did it twice in row? This is just going downhill.
What's in the full video, him putting on a SS uniform?
- I agree, the video doesn't really leave room for doubt.
  
  Yup. Saw the pic first and thought "OK, add it to the list of photos I've seen of people mid-wave who look like they're throwing a Nazi salute.
  Watched the video. Nope. Literally no room for debate. That was a sieg heil and there is zero chance it wasn't.

Musk went from being the Henry Ford of our times to the Henry Ford of our times.
- Henry ford actually built decent cars in his day.

Someone is in dire need of a bullet.
- He feels safe. More's the pity.
- You should tell every useless 2A fanatic in this country that the moment they've been preparing their whole lives for is literally here and they aren't doing a fucking thing about it.
  
  I'm a bad shot. Sorry...

I wish we lived in a world where Musk woke up to Tesla shares in the toilet over this.
- I wish we lived in the world where this piece of shit would be trialed like the criminal scum he is.
  But I have more chance winning the lottery.
- People are selling.
  
  Not enough to matter and seemingly it never will be. It’s kind of like the whole situation with Netflix. So many online were grandstanding about how they unsubscribed and publications were speculating backlash over the price increases… well another price increase was just announced and their subscriber numbers are still increasing.

That's a blatant sieg heil and anyone that says differently is lying or flat out stupid.
Lookin' good America.

- This is a reaalllyyy good side by side. At first I thought, okay, I guess I can kind of see the sharing the heart thingy people are talking about, but now it’s really fucking clear exactly what muskrat’s doing.
  
  This really drives home the context. I should take the 2nd salute and find another one where he is saluting from behind to drive it further home.

He looks really pathetic...
- Has his whole life if you look into his past.
  That's why he ended up the way he did.
  Straight out of a movie. Ugly looking dipshit with daddy money uses daddy money to buy people into thinking he isn't ugly or stupid.

Yeah, I was shell shocked yesterday and made excuses because I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but... What the fuck.
- Nothing to make excuses for.
  The richest man on the planet performed a standard Nazi salute, perfectly....twice. At a presidential inauguration. For a president who is giving this Nazi an office in the White House.

Elon is so uncoordinated, socially awkward. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't imagine what this would look like.
On the other hand he is also a cunt so likely knew exactly what he was doing.
