If it wasn't a Nazi salute, then you should have no problem repeating it in front of other people, yeah?
Do it. Go do that exact same gesture at work tomorrow in front of your coworkers.
They did and got promoted to sergeant.
I would be doing it on purpose. I think he did the gesture in the spur of the moment, not meaning for it to look like that. Time will tell.

Still think it's an accident, dumbass?
You're saying that the individual who is arguably most likened to Hitler in the entire planet accidentally threw a Nazi salute... twice? Get the fuck outta here.
Edit: liked into > likened to
Not sure how he is most like Hitler on the whole planet, he's not even the leader of any country. I haven't seen him talk about any particular race being dogs.
So you went from "Nobody could possibly misinterpret it when you see the context!" to "He did it in the spur of the moment and that's why it looked awkward.".
So how long before we reach "Even if it was an intentional Nazi salute, I don't care anyway."?
You've got no balls, by the way. If you aren't willing to repeat EXACTLY what he did, then you are admitting that what he did is socially problematic and subject to misinterpretation. They key takeaway here is that despite the blowback he's still getting from it, Musk does not see anything problematic with it. That should tell you everything about who that gesture was meant for.
Those first two quotes can both be true.
I said I don't think it was intentional as a Nazi salute, and as I've been saying, time will tell.
Sorry, I don't follow mush and watch all his tweets. I don't know what all he has or has not said. The only thing I have said is that by watching the actual video, I would not have thought it was a Nazi salute. And if it was not, maybe he hasn't said anything because he finds it funny that people are claiming he's a Nazi when he isn't. I have no clue on that last part, just a guess.
