What will determine Musk's intentionality beyond his stated intentionality over his gesture, is whether, despite the controversy, he uses it again.

As Churchill changed his gesture for victory, not least no doubt because of EastEnders' hatred for him, so Musk needs to reconsider any further use of the gesture.

There, do you see? It's not a Nazi salute if Elon does it, nor Mussolini nor Hitler or his neo-Nazi followers.

But Winston Churchill?

Strategic ambiguity, innit.

BUTTHURT !!!

Musk's gesture was not a Hitler salute when he did it.

If he repeats it, another conversation will be had.

What should be punished are the bullshyte artists like Peckerhead, for getting their girlie frocks creased over it. I've seen two people do it at the shops already. People laughed.

Oh, I see! So it wasn't a Nazi salute when he last did it, but it will mysteriously change into one when he next does it.

Maybe, Meister, but do you know? Something tells me you'll be making more excuses next time.

No no, you'll say, it was the flies. Or he wanted to show us his palm. Or, look, he was just making a thoughtless gesture to signify his allegiance to some random ideology.

23 pages later you'll concede. Okay, you'll say, if he does it one more time...
