LoL, that is NOT a Nazi salute. He expressly said while doing that motion that "my heart goes out to you". Context is everything, my friends, when you want to figure out what someone is doing or saying.

 

[Chesterton]

You guys are so much fun. He's obviously symbolizing how "my heart goes out to you".

Is it weird that people who have no idea what a Nazi salute looks like are claiming that Elon Musk has performed a Nazi salute? No, unfortunately it's not weird. We all understand what they are doing.

Looked like a Nazi salute.

That's the Romulan salute in Star Trek. It also gets characterized as a Roman salute in historical movies, although I doubt there's any historical accuracy to that.

The left will argue this is a Nazi salute, while the right will deny it.

Elon Musk is currently the wealthiest person in the world, possessing a strong knowledge of global history. He is well aware of the Nazi salute and its controversy.

This gesture may not be a Nazi salute, but it is often mistaken for one. There are many other ways to express "my heart goes out to you" without using this controversial gesture. He chose this gesture simply to seek attention.

I consider it disgraceful for a Vulcan to use a Romulan salute in his dealings with humans.

Well, he did it in kind of a soggy manner, so it's like a Vulcan attempt of a Romulan salute.

Uhhhh no.

Fake news

Good grief

Looked like a Nazi salute.

…..different perceptions for different folks

“That sure looks like a nice juicy carrot over there, near that box.”

If a person has Trump Derangement Syndrome, a wave to your mom will look like a Nazi salute.
It says more about the accusor than the accused.
I hope this silliness hits the MSM. People need another good laugh.

...because why not

LOL. Yeah, remember how often Hitler said my heart goes out to you when he saluted.

On another note - did you know they took gullible out of the dictionary.

The MSM attacks conservatives on every chance they get!

SMH

And, of course, PBS cannot resist the overwhelming urge to make themselves look utterly stupid and, once again, on the wrong side of the truth.

It’s funny. I don’t think Musk was actually trying to communicate an affinity for Nazis, but the motion is sufficiently well known that I would’ve thought he’d have been a little more careful about it. But who knows.

Fair enough

Many of the Nazis were extremely sentimental. and only selectively cold blooded. "Heart" this and that could fit right in.

That said, I dont think he was going for a Nazi maneuver at all, even tho the gesture does have a resemblance.
