Why is he so offended? Can't he take a joke? It's not a big deal. He's exagerating. What a snowflake beta male.
But he did give a Nazi salute.
Please sue & make it official, Nazi.
this salute?
Just an awkward arm gesture, like that awkward Mr. Hitler kept doing.
The correct caption here is How many chocolates do I want? Aaall of them! /s
Edit: Formatting
Yes, that salute. The salute Nazis do. The salute specifically for Nazis. The Nazi salute.
I never knew Hitler was so heartful.
Yep I hope he does bring that lawsuit so that the video of his multiple nazi salutes will have to be seen in court as evidence
Yes, that Nazi salute done by insecure little cock gobbler Elon Musk.
That's an insult to any and all cock gobblers.
And then he turned around inside of 5 seconds and did it again towards where ~~die Führer~~ Trump was standing. TOTALLY not a Nazi thing, bro, just trust me.

lol how it isn't a Nazi salute
Trump will change it to Salute of America.
not many people know this but nazis and Hitler actually stoll it from us. Lots of people are saying this now that we should take it back
Even if you want to play devil's advocate, nobody anywhere EVER keeps their fingers together and their palm down when making an "I'm offering something to you" gesture. The Anti-Defamation League is full of shit.
Going to court might result in an official court finding that it was indeed a nazi salute.
Every salute by the muskrat is a nazi salute
A real free speech absolutionist Reich here.
Thing is, we all saw the nazi salute.
Salutes
Don't believe your lying eyes
The Streisand effect never fails. Let the comparisons between his "awkward gesture" and nazi salutes flow free over all forms of media:
What a great idea! Have it confirmed in a court of law that Musk performed a Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration.
More people should call him out so he can waste his money and time in court.
It's a nice thought, but:
Couldn't someone argue Musk's dual-citizenship could be grounds for moving this from civil to federal; wouldn't diverse citizenship apply here?
Am I the only one that wants this to happen and have court argue why it is not what it looks like?
If everyone’s saying it how is one guy legally liable for saying it?
Even right wing white supremacists are saying it was a Nazi salute and are thanking him for it. https://www.wired.com/story/neo-nazis-love-elon-musk-nazi-like-salutes-trumps-inauguration/
Notably, these people aren't being sued about it
From what I know about Walz, he'll say something like this:
"Back when I was a teacher, we had a very well defined protocol for dealing with troublesome students like this. Kids do and say stupid stuff all the time. Threats aren't tolerated, but if the threat is something that won't really have an effect the response is simple: ok, do it. Otherwise we ignore them and they usually get bored or angrier to really get themselves in trouble."
And this is why every state needs anti-slapp laws.
Do it coward
Truth is the ultimate defense.
Funny that this group keeps accusing dems of politicizing the legal system.
Do it, ya little piggie.
Elmo Musk is considering suing me after accusing water of making things wet.
That's some mighty expensive free speech you got there.
At least we’d have a legal definition of nazi
Can't wait for Musk to be expropriated and thrown in jail
