When even Neo Nazis are agreeing that it's a Nazi salute, and side by side footage shows Elon doing the salute with even more force than Hitler himself did, pretending that it isn't is not a good look and is gaslighting. I've seen someone claim that it couldn't have been a Nazi salute because "half of America" and the ADL said it wasn't, which just makes this quote more relevant:
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"
The ADL saying it wasn't makes me believe it was even harder, I mean literally they're the same organization that said cartoon frogs, drinking milk, and McDonalds Mascots were all racist dogwhistles and that telling Israel not to kill Arabic Children is basically denying the Holocaust.
I think it's time to stop caring about anything this organization says.
Western media and political discourse: "Best I can do is 1930s Germany-adjacent arm gesture"
Well thats one member of the Musk family I can understand and who seems like a decent human being.
Hope she manages to get away from that cringe fucker as soon as possible.
The article literally said she doesn’t associate with him or his family. Seems like she’s away from him…
But damn… I can’t imagine what it would be like to be trans and have your dad as the most prominent and powerful Nazi in the world, spearheading a sham federal org called DOGE that is basically eliminating all reference to people like you and firing people like you in the most powerful country in the world.
So many layers to that experience, I imagine.

To be honest, you'd have to be very stupid to belive otherwise.
I suspect 90% of the people who want to give him the benefit of "doubt" when there actually is none, is very well aware of what he did.

Elon Musk literally helped re-legalize segregation in Federal Contracts, if he had the power he'd ban MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech and gate off Harlem from the rest of New York.
This is what the republicams wanted, don't let them scream uncle
Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.
So he's a sociopath. That checks out
He literally just said "empathy is weakness" the other day, I think it's pretty clear he's got some serious personality disorder. Narcissism and sociopathy both seem to fit him pretty well but I'm just a blue-collar guy.
Idk one way or another he's a piece of shit and I firmly believe one of the most evil people kicking, if anyone can be said to be evil, it's him.
And I've played a LOT of evil in DnD over the years. Both sides of the screen. I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp of the concept. If he was just a character in literature I'd go "damn, that's a good villain", but he is, sadly, alive and real.

My eyes told me the same thing.
I saw a gif earlier that I can't find. It has Elon's seig heil salute that is perfectly timed to a group of Neo-Nazis executing the same salute. They were absolutely identical.
Does anyone know where to find it?

It was one.
Technically, it was two.
