I’m leaning to dog whistle, not accident. Gesture was very distinct and decisive, and he did it twice. Disgusting. I’m horrified. But even if it was just ‘a gesture’, racists will see a message, think he is signalling them. This needs to be instantly and strongly denounced by Musk. Groups like The Proud Boys are Trump worshippers, they feel he represents them. Some of the crazier ones might feel they have freedom to act on their beliefs now. I’m scared for Australia too. I just hope we have enough good people to counter it and weather the storm.

Exactly. But he won’t denounce it because that bunch are courting these groups :(
