Musk’s gesture has received mixed reactions from politicians and academics, with some likening it to a Nazi salute and others saying it was an accidental action made in the heat of his victory speech.
Not to criticize you personally for playing devils advocate but fuck this weak ass justification.
This guy is the richest person in the world and he didn’t become that by being some disadvantaged individual who doesn’t understand what he’s doing at times. He knew full well what he was doing. He was grinning the whole fucking time and acts like he knows he’s untouchable.
I agree that I don’t think he wants to ‘round up Jews and exterminate them,’ but I do think he wanted to empower the nut jobs that do believe in that (not just Jews but every Republican enemy) while also drumming up controversy to get everyone talking about him like he’s always done in the past. He thinks this is all a game with few stakes for himself.

Exactly. None of what you said paints him as a Nazi, he wanted to get closer to powerful people, and Trump seemed like his ticket in. He won’t be able to run for President himself, but he can get close to a sitting President. If the tables were turned and he saw an opportunity on the left, he would’ve courted Harris or Biden or whatever (but neither were the right fit).
I honestly don’t know what Elon’s political views are, he mostly seems to be interested in being part of technical progression (hence Tesla, Hyperloop, and SpaceX). He seems similar to Trump in wanting to leave a legacy, and latching on to Trump seems like his attempt to do that. Buying Twitter also became part of that as well.
Maybe he’s a Nazi, idk. My point is that this event doesn’t prove anything other than that he’s a childish attention whore.
