Sad thing is that, regardless of what he is or isn't, people are answering his attention whoring with attention.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

He's the richest man in the world who has untold influence over the most powerful office in the world. It's hard to ignore him at this point sadly. Ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away.
He certainly made this motion to get attention, as you said, in possibly the least crafty dog whistle in recorded history.
It's like when a toddler learns a naughty word that makes all the grown ups laugh.
Edit: I redact that, he fucking knows what a Nazi salute is. There is no child like innocence at play, as some may interpret it.
The only reason I think it was a nazi salute is that it was done by a nazi...
Still not a fan of pizzacakecomics. The ones that are supposed to be funny aren't, imho, and the political ones are way too heavy-handed for my taste.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I agree with the content, but for a comic that's on the reddit frontpage all the time it's an incredibly crude way of getting the point across.
Pizzacakecomics is on the frontpage of reddit exactly because it's heavy-handed and only mildly funny. But this is one of those "if Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil" kinda situations, so I give them proper recognition for speaking up.

Okay, fair. I just wish I could escape them – which is rather hard if the people voting stuff to my Lemmy frontpage have just as poor taste as the average redditor.
i think it’s a fairly good satire of the situation… of course musk didn’t say he was a nazi, but he did give the contemporary neo-nazi salute of hitting his chest first… twice in a row, the same way….
and there’s actually an argument as to whether or not he meant it… even though it’s not ambiguous at all, and he’s had a history of promoting far-right content, the AfD, and his wealth originates in Apartheid South Africa and is obviously soak in blood….
it’s pretty absurd that anyone would deny it.

There has been no argument from Musk.
It's an incredibly crude lie they're telling you when they say they don't see it.
So if people made shirts of musk nazi salute and wore them around, would they get kicked out of places? Like the DMV or any government office?
It would be even more effective if it were a photo of the actual president doing it.
I am not hoping that it happens. But when it does happen, I hope the photographers have some good angles.
I was told the real NAZIs were liberals.
The no true Scotsmen skit is due for a refresh, with a group making excuses about how a series of people aren't real Nazis.
In the immortal words of Buffy: "I didn't jump. I took a tiny step and there conclusions were"
He could have meant anything.
