    yes. slaps his left chest with his right hand and immediately snaps out. THEN turns around for the folks behind and does it again.
    judge for yourself.



    I first watched without audio and thought that's clearly what he's doing.
    Then I watched with the audio and he's saying "my heart goes out to you" as he puts his hand over his heart. In context makes a big difference. 

    dude. come on.

    most people would cup the heart and extend it outward like opening a door. No one extends it out in a 45 degree angle. At best he's hes trying to be a try hard edgelord and piss some people off because he knows there won't be any consequences, at worst, well we're in for a hell of a ride...
    It's a stupid way to gesture that. But I just don't see someone trying to secretly give the nazi salute while saying "My heart goes out to you." They really don't go together. It being what he says makes more sense than him trying to secretly give off the nazi salute.

    Case in point, you can just say my heart goes out to you and wait for the applause. You don't HAVE to do weird shit like this. Or jump around or whatever. 
    It definitely was weird. Not arguing that. But if I have to decide being weird or a hidden nazi salute, given the context, I'm going with weird.

    snaps the salute TWICE  crowd goes nuts in approval. THEN puts his hand over his heart a third time to make that statement..

    as you said. context.

    The clip you shared shows him putting his hand over his heart each time.

    Does the context of Musk pushing far right views like replacement theory on social media factor into this, or are we only looking at this one incident in a vacuum?

    and what exactly did he do the first two times? because you pointing out he said my heart goes out to you was the end of the clip.

    all good though.

    I see you.

    Exactly. It fits in with his other bigoted anti-semitic crap.

    Not sure if you hacked into my camera or what that means, but ok.
    I don't recall the nazi salute starting with a hand over the heart. You said he saluted twice, THEN put his hand over his heart. That is incorrect, he did it each time. And the third time says "My heart goes out to you." Definitely weird. But if you ask me was he just being socially awkward, or doing a very poor disguise of a nazi salute, I'm going with awkward. 
    Why put the hand over the heart? Why say "my heart goes out to you"? Did he forget he was on TV and that's what he came up with on the spot?
    Neither of us knows for sure. You have your opinion and I have mine.

    He wasn't trying to do anything secretly, he just did it because he continues to prove he's a fascist piece of shit. Musk has not earned the benefit of the doubt, but he sure has burned his public image bridges and has found it doesn't matter. He's making more money than he'll ever know what to do with and makes more when supporting fascists policies and people. 10 years ago, you had to hide that shit, but not anymore. When Trump says mandate, it's shit like this that is also going to come along with it. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Well Trump just threw a number of Executive Orders against the wall on day one. They do not have the power of law, but they set in motion a number of potential tariffs and actions. He is well counseled. Most of his actions in the past have withstood judicial scrutiny. The USTR will be busy this year. You may agree or disagree with his actions, but my objective point of view is that he knows what he is doing. 

    Your point of view is messed up then. You can't EO away a constitutional right.

    Not at all. The EOs set in motion fact finding that results in rulemaking.  Which constitutional right do you speak of? I am still digesting all of the language.

    Er what?  EO's don't lead to legislation.  They never do.  EO's always seem to be the end, not the means to an end.  

    The problem with EO's has always been that it circumvents the balance of power between the Branches.  

    And if you are asking about Constitutional right, well just look at his current attempt to slash what most scholars and historical precedent consider settled and clear law, that of the 14th A and birthright citizenship.  How did he just EO away part of an Amendment?
