I still think ~20% chance he was not channeling a Nazi salute here and it was just a coincidentally similar gesture. If it was just a coincidentally similar gesture, it's still likely he'd have repeated it, so the fact that he repeated it doesn't sway me much.

If you don’t wise up you may end up a baby thrown out with the ban hammer water.

I promise you Musk is no fool and knew exactly what he was doing: signaling to other fascist that the thing they were told to “stand back and stand by” for has finally arrived.

It’s hard to distinguish between the gormless ignoramuses and the crypto-fascists testing the waters for a new Nazi bar.

The fact that neo-nazis are going to interpret this as a sign of support is what makes this really dangerous, and that's what matters. Musk's coy responses on twitter/x basically proves he wants this outcome. Whether there's a small chance this wasn't intentional in the first place doesn't really matter. If you want to ban me for this opinion, please go ahead and do it now.
