Without watching the actual video and only seeing the still images of this, I wondered if it was just a picture snapped at the right moment to take out of context. Watching the video shows that it was a VERY intentional gesture.
It was so intentional he did it twice in a row
Can you link the full video then?
I can!
No joke my wife showed me the snopes article like 1 minute after I asked you for the video. He fucking salutes the flag too!!! Wtf!!!
It's surreal

It was different!
Hitler wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as Musk.
He’s not on as much meth as Musk.
X Doubt
Really says a lot about Musks drug abuse problems doesn’t it?
Did he stutter?
They said "as much meth."
Musk is on K.
you're not walking around on this much K
Fuck me is that real?! Of course it is. And the conservatives are as hypocritical about drugs as ever.
Yes it’s real, and taken just a few hours before his Nazi salute.

Is this a German-named-thing or am I seeing Futurism everywhere lately?
The lip bite really sells it.
They do both look like they are shitting themselves at the same time, but Hitler doesn't seem to be taking pleasure in it quite as much.
I prefer this one, but it’s pretty clear either way
Is it supposed to be to the side or to the front or do nazis not really care about the direction?
Front is standard, but as you can see sometimes it's off to the side. Apologists will probably say that Hitler didn't know how to do it right.
they're both hopped up on amphetamines
Maybe towards someone or something, like a regular salute?
Or towards Berlin, like how Muslims pray towards Mecca
The Nazis "hated" Berlin. They were always babbling about the corruptive degeneration of city life to pander to moronic rurals.
Loved all of the industrial and scientific prowess though. Funny how that works.
nazi trash. Take care of your community and fuck up fascists at every opportunity
The only good nazi is a dead nazi.
Time to ask republicans: Do you condemn Nazi Elon?
They'd say something like "he's not a Nazi because Nazis are bad and we're not bad."
They may talk like Nazis and act like Nazis and support the things that Nazis support, but they're not Nazis!
Time to check fox news?
Well duh! You can't be a nazi if you are not german!
If you talk like a nazi, act like a nazi and look like a nazi BUT you are not german, then you aren't a nazi. You're just a... uh... an enthusiastic guy, that's it!
You're only a Nazi if you come from the Nazi region of Germany
Otherwise you're a Sparkling Fascist
Reminder for anyone who tells you he was doing the Roman salute. It’s the same damn thing, that’s where the nazis got it
Hitler did not do it with an "about to shout fuck you" expression on his face, so obviously Hitler was a moderate in comparison.
That's a really big nazi bar you've got over there
Fail
Elon is so beta.
