00:00I think if you watch the context of the salute that Elan did which

00:06obviously looked like a Nazi thing and you see kind of everything that he was

00:12doing leading up to it it's very evident that it wasn't actually, that it was just

00:17him being awkward and kind of weird and you know as a singer and a musician

00:23being in front of a lot of people you know a big audience and all of that like

00:27energy you know rock stars actors rappers know how to deal with that kind

00:33of thing like computer nerds and businessmen don't necessarily know know

00:39how to handle that and so they're just being awkward kind of like I think he's

00:43just being a nerd who doesn't know how to kind of control himself he's just

00:46think he's so excited and but obviously it looked pretty horrible but I honestly

00:52don't think that uh that it had anything to do with with being a Nazi and the

00:57funny thing to me is like all these people that are so offended by this I've

01:01said absolutely nothing about the attack on October 7th about teenage girls being

01:07raped in Gaza about our hostages seven American hostages that are still in

01:12Israel you know in Gaza and and now all of a sudden you know they're defenders

01:17of the Jews my ass I mean I I think I mean in terms of his response I mean I

01:22think I think he's he's right I mean basically like they've been calling

01:27Jews Nazis for the last year you know and I think that that's that's

01:31ridiculous not only is it insensitive and completely just anti-semitic but

01:36it's just it's it's uh it's the new tactic to call anybody a Nazi now that

01:40being said I mean his motion that he made if you look at it at a context you

01:45know it looks exactly like that so I think Elon is just probably being Elon

01:50he doesn't feel he probably needs to answer to anybody and he's probably just

01:54like you know using it as an opportunity instead of instead of saying like oh I'm

01:59sorry you you saw it this way a beat of you know saying to other people like you

02:03know wake up and stop calling everyone a Nazi you know I mean it's ridiculous I

02:08100% agree with the ADL's response that's basically exactly what I said I

02:12think he just didn't know how to handle the energy got excited and did something

02:16you know trying to reach out from his heart or whatever and just looked like

02:20completely awkward and it came off wrong you know and I think that that's

02:24exactly what happened you know obviously Trump is a supporter of Israel and we

02:29feel that he's gonna have our back when it comes to these crazy people in masks

02:33on college campuses and all and all the craziness that we're dealing with as

02:37Jews anti-semitism rising to unproportional numbers you know it's

02:43just it's crazy so we're looking for someone to defend us and so you know

02:48Elon Musk has Trump's back and in that case we're not gonna be the ones to

02:52throw him under the gun when we have actual hostages and actual war going on

02:57a whole generation of kids that are soldiers in the Israeli army Elon Musk

03:02and his awkwardness is really the least thing that's on our mind right now I

03:05would be curious to know of all the people of all the Jews out there that

03:10have a problem with Elon Musk's thing and thinking that it's a Nazi salute I

03:14would kind of want to know how outspoken they've been about Israel and

03:19and the hostages and being Jewish in America and anti-semitism and you know

03:25that would be to me like okay whoever's speaking out on that I would listen to

03:29what they have to say and if they're not then their opinion is completely

03:32irrelevant to me you know
