Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute?

Musk:
-supposedly has autism
-autistic people sometimes make weird faux paus
To me, it looks like it's clearly a Hitler salute and the logical conclusion is he's a white supremacist. But I am just wondering if everyone else sees this that way with no room for it being a result of autism and definitely that.
Is there any possibility it could have been accidental? Or was he doing a Hitler salute, then "oh it was an accident" (wink) sort of thing? Did he apologize?
Lots of people on lemmy are really smart so I'm interested to read what people think.
The whole thing makes me really uncomfortable with buying from companies that have x profiles. I just don't see how that coukd be accidental and it seems like no one cares.
There was this period before WWII when stuff started happening to reduce the rights of minorities, but they weren't being killed blatantly. Is this where we are? I feel more scared to be in America now.
You're viewing a single thread.
He definitely did a Hitler salute, but I don't think he meant it as one. Also, I think old-school nazis would've berated him for it being a shitty one.
Looking at the clip, and hearing what he said, I think he meant it as "my heart goes out to you" - his exact words when he did it. But it's quite telling that he instinctively used that gesture and saw nothing wrong about it.
He's still a fascist white supremacist, though, we all knew that before this happened.
It is both a literal neonazi salute as shown in this example with the hand over heart and even without that the thrusting motion to outstretched arm on its own is blatantly obvious. Stop giving this shithead a single crumb of doubt.
i think this was rhe most persuasive reply because of the visual juxtaposition
musk is a nazi. now what?
Constantly bring it up, never let it go.
