The left paired with the main stream media will stop at nothing to make Conservatives look like monsters. They are now using a deceptively edited video to accuse Elon Musk of throwing a Nazi salute during his speech at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday.
🚨 NEW: Elon Musk "throws his heart" out to the crowd and left-wingers are interpreting it as a N*zi salutepic.twitter.com/9oxSiID2Yx

Taking just the video they are plastering across the internet, it would appear that’s what Musk was doing. However, if you take the time to look at the couple of seconds before and after the cutoff, you’ll see that he was actually telling the crowd his “heart goes out” to them.
I have criticized Elon Musk many times for letting neo-Nazis pollute this platform. But this gesture is not a Nazi salute. This is a socially awkward autistic man's wave to the crowd where he says "my heart goes out to you." https://t.co/QWWiYHEI65

Musk responded to the claims on X with a re-tweet of a Libs of TikTok post that features several Democratic politicians who appear to be doing the same salute. He added, “The legacy media is pure propaganda. You are the media now.”
