Can anyone explain to me what Elon was trying to do with the salute?
Discussion
That was deliberate. Yes, it was a Nazi salute.
Serious explanations please
What are you confused about?
It is being dubbed as a “Roman salute”. However, clearly it was a dog whistle for the third reich salute.
There isn’t much room to split hairs with this.
Roman salute - yes, that’s what I was looking for
It seems dumb and awkward and I don’t know what he was thinking, but IIRC Harris did it too
Thank you
Not sure about the Harris thing. You might want to check on that.
“Here’s this obvious other explanation but no, the only explanation is the one that makes Elon look the worst”
I legitimately hate the man, but this is bullshit
provoke?
Musk is very passionate, probably he didn't even know what he wanted to express

Perhaps, but it’s one of those “very fine people” moments where half the country is seeing something else
Musk has many things that I do not support but he is not a fascist, he evidently lacks the ability to manage the stage... there will always be someone who tries to manipulate intentionally or unintentionally
