This is a stupid argument. In all of these cases including Elon the video gives the added context to prove none of them were doing the Nazi salute. Taking a still image and omitting all context should never be taken seriously.
If you actually believe these people are doing the Nazi salute you are a moron. If you actually believe that Elon gave the Nazi salute you are also an idiot.
- even Germany is calling it a Nazi salute. reporting you for misinformation. we have full video of him doing the Nazi salute, there's no way to deny it.
  
  Really the entirety of Germany? The land and air as well? All of them already gathered together and agreed that was a Nazi salute?
  I think what you mean is the chronically online far left Germans who call anyone they disagree with Nazis are calling Elon a Nazi for doing a "Nazi salute".
  Reporting me for "misinformation" to who? The rest of you crazy fucks who are so comically detached from reality that you are collectively frothing at the mouth to call that man a Nazi? I'm sure they all already agree with you. Its kinda part of the deal with that hivemind.
  Meanwhile the rest of us over here in reality see a sad pathetic man who is diagnosed autistic (and probably more) who desperately wants to be adored by everyone. This is the same guy that awkwardly jumped for joy behind Trump a few months back. Nobody actually does that except for like cartoons, but again the man is not a normal person.
  With all of that said it is very clear from his words and other actions during that speech that he was literally trying to throw his heart out to the people in the crowd. Both the people in front of the podium and behind it.
  If you want to get semantic about the details of the actual Nazi salute you need to use a pointed hand with all five fingers pointing forward. He had his palm outwards with a gap to his thumb both times he threw his heart out.
  It's funny to me how considerate the left claims to be about people with mental health issues or disorders until it's someone they don't like. And then it's just "all made up" or "that's not how it really works".
  Just gonna add this to the growing pile of mask off behavior from y'all. It's legitimately disgusting what I'm seeing in response to this whole situation.
  
  This is exactly the darvo bs a Nazi would post.
  
  Oh no! My only weakness is when they whip out an acronym whenever someone calls them out on their delusional behavior.
  You guys can keep calling me a Nazi all you want. It will never make it true.
  
  The German government says it's a nazi salute
  
  The German government also dropped all nuclear power making them completely reliant on neighboring countries for power. Some of that being oil from places like Russia.
  Pretty fucking stupid of them if you ask me.
  They have been wrong about things before and will be wrong about things again.
  
  Yeah i mean the literal country that invented Nazism said it was a Nazi salute, and they would be the #1 expert on that because they invented it, but what does that matter?
  What do you think about Elon saying that the Nazi party in Germany was the country's only way forward a couple months ago during their elections?

  chronically online left
  Even conservative newspapers critized the move.
  
  Newspapers? What year is it.
  
  Your point being?
- I don't actually believe any of them were doing a Nazi salute. It's just poking fun at the outrage machine
  
  I didn't think you did, but I don't like it when either side pulls this shit. Granted one side has a harder time with context and reality than the other... Generally speaking.

  amen. I am hoping Elon get's tired quickly and finds a new hobby. I do not think he did a Nazi salute. If the ADL changes their opinion then my opinion may change as well. Elon is just a goof ball and needs to step aside.
  
  I think it's more likely that he and Trump butt heads at some point and then he gets mad and moves to Africa or something. I think things are already starting to slip with Elon. That stupid gamer shit is so unbelievably stupid for someone in his position to even care about.
  
  I think they are already bumping heads. I appreciate what Elon has done to better EV but I don't need him trying to run the government.
  
  Yeah for real. If he had just kept making overpriced unreliable EVs and sending rockets to space people would probably still view him mostly favorably. But now he's pissed off most people to varying degrees.
  My biggest gripe with him is he calls himself a free speech absolutionist and he is most certainly not a fucking free speech absolutionist. Dude bought twitter and immediately started using it to silence people he didn't like and elevate people he liked. Fuckin tool.
  
  I hate the term for free speech. While I strongly believe in free speech. Nothing is absolute nor should it be.
  
  You can't really pick and choose with free speech. It's sorta all or nothing with these things. If you say "well let's make a few rules about these words". Who decides which words? Do they ever get updated? Does each banned word or phrase get voted for if it stays banned or not? Is this a federal crime or a state issue? What's the punishment?
  I think the current system of all things are legally fair game, but socially some things shouldn't be said or used in certain ways is perfectly fine. It sorta self updates and corrects with time, but it leaves open the option to say anything if need be.
  I understand people not liking certain language, but often times they don't see the issue with legally banning things they don't like. They aren't thinking ahead to the possibility where there are things they would like to say and now cannot.
  
  It isn’t all or nothing. The line is easy. We have lines currently. You can’t say you’re going to go murder someone with the intent and ability to do it. That’s illegal.
  
  Oh ffs not this free speech dance again. Yes you can't make threats against people. That's not protected speech that's just a threat. In that case none of the words are against the law to use, but it's how you combined them and directed them at someone that becomes illegal. You also can't yell fire in a crowded building as that is considered inciting a riot or whatever. Again the words themselves are not against the law it's when and how they are used that is an issue.
