Meanwhile, on you next trip over there, you can check out some of these totally not weird things.

I mean, cheese-rolling and toe-wrestling!

Yeah, but we know we're weird. In fact, it's about all we've got left.

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?

[George K]

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?

@George-K Excellent clips, good sleuthing even with only one good hand!

@kluurs that is funny

[George K]

Someone commented that this entire bruhaha is an excellent Rorshach test

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

@Horace said in The Worst Nazi Ever:

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.

[LuFins Dad]

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.
