For context, it's a very clear Nazi Salute — and Musk did it more than once. The NYT is implying doubt because they're afraid of losing access if they speak the truth and because some people who are financially dependent on Musk are denying what it was in public.

If you are representing most Americans, then presumably you voted trump?

Musk is playing us apparently beautifully.

What literally made trump President is people didn't believe the warnings on the Left, presumably because we screamed FASCIST for oh, the last 8 years and even the trump presidency we feared didn't bring about a fascist revolution. But hey, now that there are hand waves it is clearly important to get outraged and be taken even less seriously! Otherwise trump might not dominate the mid terms I guess.

Fuck I wish my side wasn't so goddamn easy to bait.
