Add it to the pile of things purposely taken out of context to fit a narrative. Just shows the reaches they go to lie and why they shouldn't be trusted ever again.
 
Looked like a nazi salute to me. Also, lol at that CBN video immediately cutting the camera to the crowd after that (which leads to them not catching him doing it again).
 
I don't know about all that but the guy should never be in front of a microphone again. He's the definition of cringe. And not the funny self aware ironic kind.

Very gamer of him. No idea why EviLore EviLore would be ok with this shit and the people defending this, but whatever im out.
 
Dude supports AfD in Germany and is a Tommy Robinson supporter. Even if it wasn't deliberate, he does not deserve the benefit of doubt.
 
Ah, I see the brain trust has arrived.

What was it then? You don't do that gesture several times if that's not what you mean.

Like the poster above said, he openly supports AfD, an extreme right neo-Nazi party.

I'd say he's probably a Nazi.

Love seeing people say "the guy is on the spectrum, you know?" like he is your retarded cousin that sniffs your sister underwear and not, you know, the richest man alive who owns Tesla and SpaceX
 
can i please play some new monster hunter before the country and economy fall off a cliff...
 
I did. It's a nazi salute, the elon musk version. He knows what he did.

What's that supposed to mean?!?

Is it one of those special "dog whistles" that apparently only the crypto-nazis, and (highly conveniently) *all* their political/ideological enemies can detect?
 
You must be Retard of the Week if you think that's meant as a Nazi salute.

Dude has Asperger's and is simply enthousiastic. Move along and go outside please.

A gesture. A salute perhaps.

It's close to a Roman one, but for a Nazi one you bring your arm up straight in front of you and don't start from your heart. You can add a click of the heels if you want.

Idiots like you are the ones who complain about swastikas being around even when they aren't in the same direction or orientation as the Nazi one.

And that's not even getting into the debate about whether Nazi appropriation of symbols should render those symbols unacceptable.

Roman, lol.

Nobody does a "Roman salute", especially knowing what it will for sure be interpreted as, unless that's exactly what they want. It's far, far more likely that he did a Nazi salute but didn't do it all that accurately. He might be on the spectrum, but he's not stupid. He knows what he did.

You need to stop drinking the far right Kool-Aid.

Innocent until proven guilty.

That it literally was not the same gesture is evidence enough, to be honest.

Hell, there's more circumstantial evidence it was a Roman inspired salute considering he went by 'Kekius Maximus' for a short while.
 
All Nazi salutes are right arm held out straight gestures, but not all right arm held out straight gestures are Nazi salutes.

I'm not exactly leader of the Musk fan club, but even seeing the muted clip the first time it seemed like it lacked context. Seeing the audio intact version makes me think this isn't a Nazi salute.

Unfortunately looking for anything to pull people up for is all too common in today's society, no more so than today.

Mega billionaires who lie about being good at video games trolling with nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration is the new normal I guess.

Well, if it WASN'T a Nazi salute, then he actually is stupid. Why do that if he didn't want half the world thinking he's a Nazi.

This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.It seems that
@elonmusk
made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

Look, we can't help that people like you have no common sense.

He moved his hand from his heart and out to people as a gesture of good will to them. His words at the time back that up (you have seen a video in context, right?).

You should not be encouraging behaviour that fails to even try to see the context.

I bet we could find something that you have done, said, written, typed, and blow it out of context. You wouldn't like that though, would you?
 
Team not Nazi-salute (but he might still be a nazi).

touching heart and reach out is normal in some (non nazi!) cultures. He's just emphasizing it. You literally see him palm his chest where his heart is.

And here I thought GAF wasn't so sensitive about everything.

Hold up are we allowed to talk about politics?

We are allowed to within context in contained threads if the issue is serious enough (say, child rape gangs).

I assume this thread is being allowed to let off steam and will be locked once it's deemed it has died down.
 
It is very hard to effectively criticise someone and take apart their views with the credible arguments, genuine fact checking and the thorough debate required when such criticism is drown out by stretches, spin and outright falsehoods. It undermines trust in all opposition.

Those who lap up this sort of thing are already onside whilst the open minded are turned off and pushed further away from your position. It can either fail or become extremely divisive.

I am no fan of this guy, but this sort of ridiculous shit is helping nobody but Elon in the long run.

He kinda did it twice though. Seems intentional
