Well, at least wait until it's part of the law requiring all businesses to use it as formal greetings.

I might get a promotion for it at my job.
Silicone Valley?
Nope, just a factory in Magooland lol
That sounds about right, too lol
Arguing whether or not the sky is in fact blue is a deliberate distraction.
I'm one of the few users here whose not taken in by the Elon hate-train and I often find myself here fighting against a windmill defending him against baseless accusations but in this case there's nothing to defend - that was a nazi salute.
Now, as to what he was thinking when he did that I have no idea. Maybe he still feels like that edgy 15 year old that he no longer is. In fact - kind of seems like he immediately regreted it and came up with the "my heart belongs to you" excuse. Either way, that was incredibly stupid and he should face serious reputational damage for it from his own side but probably doesn't.
What would it look like, if it looked like he was just a fucking Nazi?

Musk is a troll.
Don't feed the troll.
Every bit of energy and attention expended on the sieg heil is a bit of energy and attention that's NOT being expended on any of the actions being taken and policies being enacted by Trump and the oligarchs right this moment for the direct and explicit purpose of destroying liberty and democracy in the US.
The sieg heil is performative. It's a symbol. In and of itself, it causes no direct harm.
However, a terrifying number of the actions that Trump is actually taking - directives he's issuing and policies he's implementing -are causing and will cause direct and measurable harm.
They need to be the focus, and the sieg heil is a distraction from them.
And that's not an accident. Musk is a troll.
It depends how you use the moment. I like Die Zeit's article about it (in German, paywall can be bypassed with archive websites). They use it as on opportunity to discuss the context where it was made - an extreme right political event - and expose how mainstream media has helped normalizing nazi symbology by amplifying the gaslighting.

It enables and empowers nazis. A group that is known to take violent action when they feel they can.
And yes. It is a performance. To draw attention away from the meme coin. A giant grift on people and a way to bribe the grifters.

And as a bonus, all of those little nazi muffins that were either in jail or otherwise hampered by their earned felony are now free to go bananas, including acquiring arms stockpiles.
Numerous intelligence reports had found that those far right leaders were somewhat stifled by the J6 implications, and their organizations driven somewhat underground. Orange Caesar just took the lid off.
