I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren’t pointed the right way
There really isn’t a proper performance. Many nazi officials simply raised their hand palm facing away from them over their right shoulder. Generally at rallies touching your chest on the left hand side and then raising your right arm straight out with palm angled down and away from you is the basic salute. He did that. Twice.
It’s quite common in old photos to see people’s hands dipping a bit doing it. Almost making a like cup shape with the hand. Hard to hold your hand aloft like that for long periods of time. Also not uncommon to see hands turned slightly or completely sideways. What doesn’t vary is the intent. It is a salute in the traditional sense. The fact he did it facing the flag is by itself more than damning enough. You don’t wave at flags, you salute them.
Source: it helps to know a lot about your enemies and their rituals. Also I have a thing for modern history.
Almost like taking still shots of someone in motion can make them look like they’re doing crazy shit… So how about you make them gifs instead so we can see the context?
No, the one that’s a fragrant Nazi salute vs the possible subtle dog whistles. We’re at a point where American leaders aren’t afraid to do a full blown Nazi salute on stage on live television.
Fuck the ADL

Point one finger upwards at their face.
Ask your friends why they’re so familiar with the proper performance of the nazi salute.

Yeah, i stand corrected on that point. Him doing so first doesn’t really change the salute itself.
I’d say 50/50 odds that he tries to claim it was a Bellamy Salute or something.
You should get footage of all those moments. Be neat to see em all lined up. Write up a nice summary of the context for each one.

Also, make sure to add this one:
Oh no here comes the downvotes because this place is exactly like Reddit.
Nah we hate Nazi’s here.
Ya’ll throw that word around that means nothing anymore.
Feel free to return to Reddit. This is not your Lebensraum.
Lol.
There’s video kiddo.
He did it more than once. With zeal.
It was not a still image captured as he waved to the crowd. No matter how much you want it to be.
Googled it earlier to see, says the heart motion is never involved, that’s the American pledge salute

Nobody does the Bellamy salute anymore and I want you think think very hard about why.
Show me a video of them throwing and holding any kind of salute and not waving. You can skip Hillary.
What’s that mean, skip the one you know I’d find first? Whatever, bud, done here with you.

Quit trying to muddy the waters - we have eyes and everyone knows that Musk is a Nazi.
No need to think. One can just read:
