If I ‘accidentally’ did a Nazi salute, as a non-Nazi I would spend the next week:
Making clear that I do not agree with Nazis
Rejecting praise from Nazis calling me ‘based’
Not tweeting out a series of Nazi puns
Not campaigning for a far-right anti-semitic German party
If I did the opposite of all these things it would be because I want everyone to know it was no accident. Anyone still saying ‘who knows what he means by any of it’ after this week is either a lying POS, bought and paid for, or just thick as a cement brick
You would probably instantly say you were sorry for doing a hand wave that could have been perceived as nazi. That it was not your intention and that you are terribly sorry.
He has not said so anywhere, the media said it for him but he hasn’t clarified shit.

He’s doing at least half of those things. Depending on how you view things.
Which half? And please provide some examples.
“B-but… He’s autistic!” As far as I know, autism’s only makes you kinda weird and socially awkward, not a moron nor a freaking Nazi!
Also like… That’s probably the only time you’ll see sympathy over neurodivergency from the people saying that
Jesus Christ, you’re so right… This is so fucked up.
I have 2 autistic boys and Ive said this repeatedly to them and shared it here. Autism does not entitle you to be an asshole
Elons parents clearly did not teach him this, or they failed.
Given his parents, I highly doubt they were worried about teaching him about that.
