This gets shown a lot as just one action, but he also turned to salute again for the people behind him. It was absolutely no mistake.

"He was throwing his heart out to the crowd".

  • conservatives, unironically.

Also.. "Let's give him the benefit of the doubt"

  • the police-loving, Palestinian-hating Anti-Defamation League.

Whole thing was wild and its just a footnote in the Trump 2.0 disasterpiece.

    The thing is, this isn't like the first time he's agreed, sympathized, or shown support for nazis or nazi ideas.

    He bought twitter and it now shows far right sentiments considerably more often.

    He often retweets or show support for far-right extremist ideals on that website now.

    He has always supported and continues to support white replacement conspiracy theories. These are often arguments used to push nazi ideals.

    The list goes on. Whe someone say the kind of BS you reference in your post I think it's important to not let them move the goalposts to an argument about a one time event. Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute was the most recent and most publicly visible in a long line of Nazi sympathizing and pushing Nazi ideals.

    Really good point. I don't understand how the jewish Anti-Defamation League could ignore all his past shit and then see him literally Nazi saluting at a rally and still decide their best official response would be "benefit of the doubt".

    It really speaks to their true motives: win over conservatives (evangelicals in particular) to further the current Israeli political goals (obliterating Palestine, and Iran), and damn everything else - even if it means literal Nazis whom are not too many ego rallies away from suggesting a new 'final solution' for the Jews. Beyond shocking, how far they'll bend their core principals in order to keep the US military and leadership on side.

    Nazi scum.

    Wish we were still a nation that knew what to do with them instead of being a nation that rolls over for them.

    Even Maga doesn't like him lol. He has a very niche crowd of toxic tech bros.

    Interestingly, the Wiki article gif used to show both, but now it doesn’t.
