There seems to be a lot of discussion about whether Musk pulled the Nazi salute for Trumps inauguration
It certainly looked like one and I certainly understand why a lot of people think it was the real deal.
But here is the thing...people who actually give a damn would sooner break their arm than make any motion that could even be remotely mistaken for a Nazi salute. My brain stem would simply take over before my arm got anywhere near that shape.
So whether he meant to or not, it represents a strangely cavalier 'fuck-you' attitude that he obviously does not have that filter. He does not take the idea of Nazis serious enough to even care that he might be mistaken for one.
Of course he followed up with a lot of trolling jokes about it so he clearly thinks the whole thing is acceptable grounds for trolling.
I will say what I always said about him. He lacks the emotional maturity to be anywhere near the center of power.
