It's because I watched the video I know this is not a fascist salute.

I'm probably wasting my time trying to appeal to people that have already made their mind up, but please, just observe what he's saying during the speech, and the words that form the context of him raising his arm. Then you will hopefully realise that you have been manipulated by the leftwing mainstream media.

Don't forget the media hate Musk because he is directly competing with them.

Okay, so you have no videos. You only have misrepresented images and false claims about the dozens of Democrat politicians and celebrities performing fascist salutes like Musk.

You'll have to accept that this is who and what Musk is. It's who he wants to be.

Musk has done massive brand damage Tesla. Teslas are now called "fascist mobiles" and "swasticars".

There is no unreality you can cling to that will change that.

Do you not see the irony in what you just admitted here? Do you not understand the point I was trying to make by sharing those images?

In case it's not clear and obvious, let me state it for you: I don't believe those Dems (or Musk) are Nazis. Anyone can freeze frame a video for the purposes of misrepresentation. That's my point.

Yes. Because of the politically-motivated misinformation people are deliberately spreading about him.

Honest question: do you really think the richest man in the world would not know that his nazi-like salute ("my heart goes to you") would be (mis)represented as a nazi salute?

I see. Now that you are unable to produce videos to back your false claims (because of course you can't), you're attempting to make the pivot to "lol, just kidding, bro!"

Musk has let you down, and it hurts, but you'll have to accept the reality of who and what he is. Unreality will never help you.
