Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually.

Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda.

“He’s just exuberantly greeting the people!” Yes. He is exuberantly greeting the people by doing the Nazi salute.

“Are you suggesting he’s a Nazi?!” He is a powerful tech-right extremist with a long track record of buying into/spreading racist, white supremacist conspiracies doing the Nazi salute.
