I actually like Elon Musk, but brah, that was 100 percent a nazi salute. Not cool. Not cool at all.
He needs to explain or step down. And I don't see any way that can be explained away. I mean, you have to TRY to do that. There is not a salue in the world that has you beat your chest, then hold your palm out. He can't even say it was an accident!
Before watching the vid, I thought may he was just pointing out in the crowd, and people mistook it, but nah, that was full-on nazi salute.
He did have some jewish people defending him tough. From the article:
“As a person with a strong track record of criticizing Elon Musk, I feel extremely confident asserting that this was not a Nazi salute. Elon Musk is a friend to the Jews,” Newsweek opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don't need to invent outrage.”
Still not cool though.
@UniversalMonk the explanation is…he is anti democracy and pro fascism
