I mean those movements are pretty clear. I think Musk is just testing to see what he can get away with and playing dumb for some cover. So far, his following is convinced it was autism while others think fascism.

Autism or Fascism? The great debate of 2025. Keeping us pee ons distracted.

Elon is a little troll so I have zero doubt he was gesturing somewhat on purpose. He lives for the controversy at this point. Igoring it would actually give him the result he doesnt want, but they couldnt resist

The press continues to not learn. They are losing grip and instead of rethinking strategy they do this.

Yeah exactly. Most people should realize this by now. He knew people would be talking about him well after the inauguration. We all know these guys love attention.

I haven't seen the clip just the pic. When I first saw it, I figured he was just talking about zipping off to space.

Wasn't AOC allegedly in full blown meltdown over this as well?

Yes she did.
And the way that her hands were flying around, it looked like she was in a cat fight with her imaginary friend.

Musk has Asperger's Syndrome. Which is in the Autism family.
So he got the double whammy of things that could make him socially awkward.

No!!! It’s just the right half of America learned years ago to ignore the media and short video clips without context.
