Comment on The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

What’s more likely?
A large proportion of Americans are very ready to be extremely upset and will look in to things that aren’t there, like a socially inept Musk appearing to make a Nazi salute.
Or
Musk intentionally made a Nazi salute.
I know it’s emotional times, but I think a huge amount of people aren’t thinking rationally.
I would like to rephrase your proposed options while preserving their real meaning:
The worlds richest man doesnt know what a Nazi salute look like and accidentally does it twice.
A Nazi does a Nazi salute.
I would say its around 1:99 in favor of number 2.
Also, it doesnt even really matter if he did it intentionally (which of course he did). Any sane person knows you dont do Nazi salutes in public, thats why other politicians dont do them even unintentionally.
He literally supports Germany’s modern Nazi party.
1)the self proclaimed smartest man in the world somehow does not know what a nazi salute is and proceeds to not do the nazi salute 3times in a row very enthusiastically during the inaguration of a president who literally went to the white house to pardon people guilty of treason, covered in nazi tatoos and working in a nazi milita group. Pure coincidence he is very pro nazi parties in europe.
2)The most sound of mind and body man in the world who personally engineered spacex, tesla and hyperloop is has unfortunately lost control of his body and photographers captured it out of context. In a video. Where it happened 3 times in a row.
3)You elected into the office someone who did the nazi salute 3 times during the re election of a felon and a man who attempted a coup.
Ah someone level headed. That’s refreshing.
I thoroughly hate Musk, as so many of us, so I can understand the eagerness to misinterpret things in the worst way possible.
I agree, its very refreshing. When you really think about it hitler wasnt too bad either so I’m glad musk is doing a little nod to that.

The second. He said thanks to his right wing supporters, twice.
