@mjr @aral I could be wrong but since he said "My heart goes out to you" I assume that the 'slapping his chest' thing is due to that.

I did a reverse image search and am decently sure that these pictures are real, but nonetheless a video would either make them look worse or better.
#NaziSalute #ElonMusk

@golemwire @aral the comment is just a cover, plausible deniability, or at least plausible ambiguity, for the benefit of the other billionaires' newspapers.

I'm sure the pics are real but I'm betting those were gesticulation, not salutes like the #elonmusk #nazisalute

@golemwire @aral having seen the clip again on the lunchtime news, he only says that after he's done two salutes. Giving himself cover after he realised what he did, perhaps.

@mjr @aral You're probably right about that.

@anubis2814 @aral I'm thinking now that what happened is he was in a mood to look formidable ("badass"?), did the Nazi salute (intentionally), realized that that could/would cause problems / was simply bad, and then said "My heart goes out to you" (what he said after both salutes) to try to change what he did....
