You would need to be severely intellectually challenged to think Musk actually intended to give a Nazi salute. The idea is so preposterous I refuse to believe you actually believe that. Or perhaps I am underestimating how detached from reality political fervor can make people.

Elon Musk's coming was literally prophesied by a certain infamous Nazi rocket scientist. I don't expect rational science-minded materialists to believe in spooky magic but at the very least the psychological impact of that apparent prophesy on the man himself should be considered. He probably meant it. Edit for requested source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mars%3A_A_Technical_Tale#The_%22Elon%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mars%3A_A_Technical_Ta...

  Can you please share more about this prophecy? A like would be helpful.

  The description linked seems like a real stretch to me for it to be considered a prophecy. The only overlap I see with reality is that both Mars and the name Elon are mentioned together. The author wrote the store around 40 years in his future. We have yet to send a mission to mars, meaning he was off by at least 40 more years. "Elon" in the story is the title used by the martian leader, not the martian's name and definitely not the human billionaire seeking to make the mission happen. How exactly is it a literal prophecy?

Look, I think it’s open to some interpretation here. Not being willing to admit the possibility might get us into a very bad situation. Much like following someone in Amsterdam because they offered to show you how to get somewhere might get you mugged.

  Wow, Amsterdam catching strays ! What happened in Amsterdam I thought it was safe? I would follow someone if they were kind enough to show me how to get somewhere but then I’m very gullible

If I knew someone who “accidentally” does Nazi salutes, I would keep them very far away from anything important.

  Here's a picture of Kamala Harris "accidentally" doing Nazi salute: https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/2571222/kamala-harris.png?w=1200&f=a738f9e0fd8cf731dacc8f889f69c877 https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/2571222/kamala-harris.png?w=1...

Do you think he was just doing a "my heartfelt thanks" type gesture? Or was he doing a "troll the libs" type gesture?
