    Comforting I'm sure. Especially for the Jewish contingent.

    There must have been quite a few people in 1945 Germany exclaiming I didnt know they actually meant it!

    It's not. It's sinister.

    Musk has shown time and again he is at best a white-supremacist. For anyone defending the gesture as if it is something different I have some magic beans to sell you.

    Unsurprisingly, Lullapie thinks it's all perfectly innocent and just made up by the left wing media.

    As he says "They walk amongst us......", but he doesn't realise he's one of them!

    It's only day 3 of the Trump presidency and you are already searching the internet to find someone defending a Nazi salute.

    You should have gone for the Lullapie anecdote of meeting someone on your travels who absolutely backs up your worldview.

    I'm not defending the gesture at all. It's ridiculous. But from what I've seen of Musk, I think it's more likely a calculated way to stir up rage on the left and get a reaction for his own amusement than a signal of murderous intent.

    I agree that it's objectively sinister, but I don't think Musk is actually trying to tell the world he's a Nazi. Musk clearly likes to push buttons. He likes controversial jokes that rock the boat. That's why he's so into Dogecoin - not because it has a real use case or potential, but because he finds it funny. And part of the reason he finds it funny is because other people don't find it funny at all. At least that's how it looks to me.

    The lefty media fortunately left out his final words - "from my heart to you" - end of fake news.

    Here is is in full from the Telegraph youtube. Admittedly quite a far left source for you and Med Pie but you may need to hold your nose.

    Definitely not a Nazi salute.
