I’m one of the few users here whose not taken in by the Elon hate-train and I often find myself here fighting against a windmill defending him against baseless accusations but in this case there’s nothing to defend - that was a nazi salute.
Now, as to what he was thinking when he did that I have no idea. Maybe he still feels like that edgy 15 year old that he no longer is. In fact - kind of seems like he immediately regreted it and came up with the “my heart belongs to you” excuse. Either way, that was incredibly stupid and he should face serious reputational damage for it from his own side but probably doesn’t.
Don’t make excuses for the rat, he’s born into privilege and wants to keep it that way.
The bloke parades around expecting people to believe he’s a top tier gamer, being able to put in 16+ hours a day grinding at POE2 whilst being a CEO of multiple companies. All the while not being able to comprehend one of the most used interfaces on that platform.
But yeah nah, he’s a good bloke. I’m sure he’s done something good in he’s lifetime.
I mean, you said you hope he regrets it, I highly doubt he does or will unless there’s a reckoning somewhere down the line. He wants to be the most popular person ever, and by throwing a Nazi Salute…well he’s pretty popular with certain groups of people who have lower melanin than others, and think that that’s a great way to determine who God’s chosen people are, or whatever hookum they decide to use to validate their hate. Don’t forget, his dad owns an emerald mine, and he grew up in an apartheid state as a full citizen, and one of “means”. It’s hard to strip that kind of thinking about the world from your mind. And then there’s how badly he treats his children, publicly. You should probably rethink your even marginal support for this man who clearly wants to be President, but can’t due to not being a natural citizen.
Or, he did a Nazi salute because, and I know this is some outside the box, crazy thinking: He’s a Nazi.
I know, right? Racist, apartheid profiteer, open supporter of racist far right parties across the world, frequent promoter & amplifier of far right wing and openly racist & anti-Semitic voices on his social media platform? The guy who just bought his way into power and has funded the rise of mask-off fascism in America? That guy is a Nazi? No way.

Hmm if you put it like that, it seems like he only did it since he was zonked out of his mind on drugs which caused him to do a perfectly normal everyday american gesture 3 times in a row and not apologize for it at all days later.

He did not regret it. He did it again a second time to the audience behind him. Stop defending him.

Elon yearns for public recognition and admiration. He tried many different approaches. Being an unhinged fascist worked best for him so far.
Would be better if he yearned for the mines…like all the children I’m sure will soon be pressed into the work force.
What excuses have I been making?
