A Nazi Salute Is a Nazi Salute
Did Elon Musk intentionally "sieg heil" at Donald Trump's inauguration rally?
What matters is what we do, not what we intend or what we protest we intended.
So it seems that Elon DOES KNOW the difference between "my heart goes out to you" and a Nazi salute. pic.twitter.com/quLkhV5fln

To some extent, this is a Rorschach test: If you believe Trump is a fascist, then you probably think Musk did a “seig heil,” especially given some recent context: Musk has endorsed far right parties in Germany, Italy and the U.K., with Germany’s AfD being accused of deliberately using Nazi rhetoric. And under Musk’s watch, Twitter/X has reportedly seen a dramatic increase in racist and antisemitic groups and comments. So it’s easy to understand why some would believe this was intentional — especially when he’s onstage at a rally for a politician who has plenty of extremist followers. All those Hitler criticisms, if anything, should make a speaker less likely to bust out any Third Reich-looking moves, or so one would hope...' bit.ly/4gdjnQe
