Maybe it was just an expression of 'enthusiasm'. Maybe. But, boy, did it make the American fascist/nazi/white supremacist crowd happy...

Thomas Sewell, an Australia-based neo-Nazi, whose Telegram avatar is a picture of himself throwing a Roman salute, posted the video of Musk calling it a “Donald Trump White Power moment.”

The Proud Boys Ohio chapter posted to a clip of the Musk video to its Telegram channel with the text, “Hail Trump!”

A chapter of the white nationalist group White Lives Matter posted a note of appreciation on Telegram, along with a picture of a banner drop the group had previously executed at a freeway overpass reading: “Elon Musk Stop White Genocide.” The Telegram caption read, “Thanks for (sometimes) hearing us, Elon. The White Flame will rise again.”


Trump won 20% of the black vote. WTF??

Reminds me of the stand back and stand by comment. Just ambiguous enough to claim an alternative motivation. But very clearly understood by those for whom it was intended.

Yes, and we all know what it was, no matter what the right says to obfuscate it.
