      Note the title. “Oh, they’re not proper Nazis, they’re just trying to be proper Nazis.”

        It was more, of all the things that happened today, why does the stupidest, most debatable aspect get so much mileage?

      IMO You are just nitpicking which is sad. Everyone that saw his salute saw it

        Everybody who wanted to see it, saw it. Y’all never saw a war movie?

      Anyone who defends a Nazi is a Nazi.

      There is no grey area.

      You can’t support some Nazi policies.

      No, it’s not worth thinking about. There are many videos of nazis starting the salute with the arm bent across the chest. They may not be putting their hand over their heart but

      1. It doesn’t matter, because it’s still a fucking nazi salute, and

      2. Elon needed to so his bullshit line “my heart goes out to you” might, just might, provide an excuse when he’s inevitably questioned about this.

      Let’s not split hairs here. Next you’ll be saying his arm wasn’t at exactly 35° so it couldn’t possibly be a nazi salute. Or during the second one behind him his hand was tilted slightly instead of going straight. If you can’t see it for what it is you’re in fantasy land.
