Those similar gestures are people waving. Most of them aren't even clips, but still shots of the wave when the hand was extended forward. It is really disingenuous to compare them.

It is disappointing that we are pretending someone with the responsibility Musk carries couldn't foresee what his own body movements portray. He was at best trolling, and that is a pretty shitty thing to troll with.

> He was at best trolling

He was simply thanking republican voters for voting republican. That's all.

That you think the best case was trolling shows how pigeon holed your thinking is.

There's no point getting into a discussion with someone who refuses to admit the sky is blue. You know what you saw.

The difficulty with arguing against someone who doesn't care about their beliefs matching up with reality is that you have to rely on factual arguments while they do not.

> You can find clips of many politicians doing similar gestures.

Really?

Since Musk made his two salutes all I've seen in response have been highly selective still photos taken at low angles that make it appear Obama, Harris, etc. have been making Nazi salutes.

I've yet to see a dynamic unfaked video lengthy video clip of, say, Joe Biden, throwing a Nazi salute.

Do you have such a clip with details of the time and place, hosted by a major media outlet?

Of course they don't - they're referring to those still photos you've seen already which look nothing like a fascist salute in their original videos

Have you tried looking up videos from Germany in the 1930s? There r plenty of politicians and even normal citizens giving the same salute.
