    What’s more likely?

    A large proportion of Americans are very ready to be extremely upset and will look in to things that aren’t there, like a socially inept Musk appearing to make a Nazi salute.

    Or

    Musk intentionally made a Nazi salute.

    I know it’s emotional times, but I think a huge amount of people aren’t thinking rationally.

      I would like to rephrase your proposed options while preserving their real meaning:

      1. The worlds richest man doesnt know what a Nazi salute look like and accidentally does it twice.

      2. A Nazi does a Nazi salute.

      I would say its around 1:99 in favor of number 2.

      Also, it doesnt even really matter if he did it intentionally (which of course he did). Any sane person knows you dont do Nazi salutes in public, thats why other politicians dont do them even unintentionally.

      Ah someone level headed. That’s refreshing.

      I thoroughly hate Musk, as so many of us, so I can understand the eagerness to misinterpret things in the worst way possible.
