      It’s not news to anyone paying attention, but that weird Tesla fanatic uncle is going to find it a bit harder to rationalise an actual unambiguous world-famous Nazi gesture. We’ve even got those worshippers over here, and anyone reasonable who was on the fence with their pro-Musk proselyting can’t overlook something this clear.

        We’re already seeing their responses in the wild. They’re just denying it was a Nazi salute. And playing the “woke cancel culture leftists are taking him out of context” card.

          And playing the “woke cancel culture leftists are taking him out of context” card.

          An Australian neo-Nazi speaker recently pulled this coward move too, laughably. (Context: in their jurisdiction, the salute is illegal*).

          Nazi promotion event 1: After […] performing the Nazi salute, Mr Richardson asked the crowd if he was “going be fined now”. [1]

          Nazi promotion event 2: i-i was just waving at my friend Beryl in the back row and they screencapped it out of context, it wasn’t a salute :( leftism gone mad

          Don’t worry, antifascists bashed their office door in on Christmas regardless.

        Many will find a away to overlook it. Even some commenters in this post found a way.

          You’re right, and I think I forgot to mention this in my reply - will people looking at those fans overlook it? When Musk was seen by many as a brilliant humanitarian ethical billionaire championing green vehicles and space innovation, that could be persuasive to typical people. But it’s harder for typical people to respect any praise them now they’ve clearly unmasked themselves on a stage as a nazi.

      he did it twice, with the hand going from the chest out. No chance it was accidental

        If you’ve seen any leaked footage from neo-Nazi orgs, they’re surprisingly garbage at performing the salute. It’s actually amazing.

    there are 2 salutes in the USA, o7 and hand over heart. This was very explicitly what it “appears to” be, and there is no excuse.

    The fact that he’s a Nazi shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. He’s named after a character in a book written by a very famous Nazi, his fortune comes from Apartheid South Africa, his grandfather was a leader of a pro-Hitler fascist movement in the '30s and '40s.

    Just in case you were unclear. Although some people will pretend to be confused and that this is ambiguous.

    I hope this finally persuades most European companies to “𝕏-it”.

    It’s called the Bellamy salute and it’s as American as Apple pie

      Unlikely he would have known that one, being from South Africa, even at his age.
