The "stadium full of people" was a Trump rally ... a bunch of "very fine people" who welcomed it. And why would the fact that it was a stadium full of people of ANY sort matter? Musk was trolling ... he never denied that it was a Nazi salute, he just pulled a "leftists call everyone a Nazi" schtick, and now he's claiming that Hitler was a leftist socialist, a common far right "no, you" BS talking point. Mr. neo's grasp of "logic" and "common sense" (the knowledge base and thought process of know-nothings with average IQs) is very poor. And you know what sort of smug crank you're dealing with when they generalize from ONE person to "a thought bubble here", as if I somehow represent the entire HN membership.

And even if it wasn't a Nazi salute, "all of the context that would suggest Elon is not, in fact, a Nazi sympathizer" is completely nonexistent ... does this bozo not know about Musk's massive enabling and megaphoning of antisemites and their talking points on Twitter (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk... is just one of many examples) or his support of AfD? https://www.npr.org/2025/01/27/nx-s1-5276084/elon-musk-germa...
