    It wasn’t even a Nazi salute. Did you guys listen to what he said when he did it? He thanked those that supported him, put his hand on his heart, then sent his love out to those people.

    Why does everyone twist everything? Even if it were true, it would still be vandalism.

        It is possible for frozen images from a video to be out of context. It really is. Like I said to someone else, time will tell.

          Yes. It absolutely is. If only there wasn’t a video of this dude doing a salute back to back

          https://youtu.be/joV-9FFoA3Q

          On top of that “the future of civilization” is a dog whistle to the 14 words of the Nazis

          We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children

            I’ve seen the video multiple times, I still don’t think it is an actual Nazi salute. His future of civilization comment (in context with what else he was saying), I don’t think was a Nazi comment either. Why? Because he was basically saying the future of our elections and government was going one of two ways. If I’m wrong, time will tell. I’ll have to wait and see.

      It’s amazing a dude can do back to back Nazi salutes and people on the Internet will still defend it because “he said something afterwards that lets me deny what I saw with my lying eyes”

      What’s next? The dude goes around waving a Nazi flag but later on Twitter he proclaims he’s now a Hindu. So I guess you’d still believe him? Come on mate. You can do this.

      It’s a duck mate. You can believe your eyes. It’s ok. You’ve been lied to for a really long time and it’s hard to undo all that because it defines a lot of who you are as a person. I’ve been there mate. The first step can be from this though. He did a Nazi salute. You don’t have to unravel the rest of your beliefs yet. Just start with admitting what we all saw with our eyes. He did it twice just to make sure you knew.

        lol on the Hindu comment. If he did that, then I would change my mind.

          Tell me. What is the difference between the swastika or the salute? I’m gonna guess the main difference is you haven’t read 100 reply guys trying to come up with any reason to deny he’s a Nazi. Do you know who does that? Nazis. Nazis know that it’s still not expectable to be a Nazi. So they will always try to get you to “not believe your lying eyes”. While always doing dog whistles to signal to other Nazis. But this salute wasn’t a dog whistle. It was a fucking mega phone.

      Dude, that was a (neo)nazi salute without a single doubt. I’m from Germany. We learned about this shit a lot. History class is like 90% related to ww2. We can spot a fucking nazi salute from miles away. You disgusting nazi apologist, fascist pick.

        I’m not a Nazi apologist. If he never does or says another “Nazi” thing again, would you apologize for calling me that?

          Why would I? He keeps doing that shit! He’s actively supporting the far right extremist AfD in germany and he’s doing the same many other European countries. He’s a fucking nazi prick. And people who downplay this are nazi apologists. Fuck off.

            Why are you acting like that towards me? All I did was give my opinion of what I saw, big deal.

              Because you played something down the way certain people won’t acknowledge the holocaust. It’s disgusting and extremely hurtful to people who grew up learning about the awful shit the Nazis did. Elon is a fucking Neonazi and he’s the richest fucking man on the world. That’s extremely dangerous. We’re just lucky he’s dumb as a fucking rock.

      It wasn’t even a Nazi salute

      Yet he’s perfectly fine with people believing that it was? Only one type of person that wouldn’t be tripping over themselves to make sure others didn’t mistakenly think they were a Nazi… Take a wild guess who.

        I’m pretty sure he isn’t arguing with people, because he thinks they are ridiculous for saying that’s what it was.

        fyi, I’m not really a fan of the guy, I just never would have thought it was a Nazi salute (after watching the actual video)
