Agreed. I'm 40% thinking he had an autistic spur of the moment joke idea, and 60% thinking he was just doing a very emphatic "sending my heart to all of you" movements,

You governor:

I thought the French hated the Nazis.

Who knew.

The press has learned nothing in 10 years of this crap.

@kluurs that's great.

The Worst Nazi Ever

Maybe just a Reformed Nazi?

The really shocking thing about this is the fact that a member of the US Congress believed it.

We have idiots governing us.

Mostly.

It's absurd to believe Musk is a Nazi of course, but it's easy to believe he intended a Nazi salute, to troll the world. I think it played out well for him.

Most of them will believe anything they're asked to - or at least to say they do. It's the polite political thing to do.

Same old, same old.

The press is covering everything the same way. The Dems are attacking on well-worn paths.

Have we learned nothing?

If Musk had a point beyond trolling, it would be that.

The hand over the heart before flinging the arm out, is an important ingredient.

Which is sort of why all the memes of Superman or random politicians caught in a split-second photo with their arm extended fall flat.

A nazi salute is an action, a motion. A still photo of a guy doing jumping jacks caught at just the right moment isn’t quite the same thing.

And he is saying “My heart goes out to you” as he does it. Context is still key.

[jon-nyc]

He may be a bad Nazi but there’s no denying he’s a world-class troll.

Yeah, of course.

Now do Walz and Macron.
