Good question. Any mods wanna answer this?

I saw some comments that "he said 'My heart goes out to you'!" and that was why he made the gesture

People actually seeing this and defending it.

I guess there's still some semblance of order if they're still afraid to be open about it.

They don't know what that gesture actually looks like if they say that.

Just to remove any ambiguity, Elon's father is a Nazi who said he's proud of his son. It was a Nazi salute, 100%.

I know what you're saying, but still think it's normal right wing behavior (which is not my favorite thing). Far-right should be reserved for Elon, so they can't call us far-left for wanting healthcare
It's now far left to consider all humans, human. :/

Here's a nice quick video from pbs that shows the whole salute with a little before and after for context

And because CNN's parent company, WB Discovery, is run by known Trumper David Zaslav, it will naturally be forced to suck Trump's tiny Toad even harder.

My dude, when the party leader's closest advisor is doing a Nazi salute at their president's inauguration, that is typical right wing behavior.

so, "defund PBS" is trending on Twitter because they're accurately calling what he did a Nazi salute unlike some of the other news networks.

his fanbase is really triggered that they can't gaslight people into believing otherwise.

So, it wouldn't be a punch if someone saw him and in their excitement forcefully extended their arm like that into his face, would it? It's just he an awkward motion.
