    Did you read my original comment?

    I clarified that the video showed elon was making that salute. (No argument there)

    What the primer81 that I was responding to was saying was that there are OTHER instances where a person (not elon) had a picture taken of them waving. But the picture was taken at a specific moment where it appeared they were giving a salute and the commentor was claiming that was further proof of a salute (from that other person)… I called bull. A picture is a moment in time and it’s not hard to get a picture at an inopportune time.

    Re read the comments going up to my original comment.

      Oh you misinterpreted my comment my guy. I was agreeing with you while noting that often the video context of still images will reveal that the still image was not as it seems…

        No they are just confused about my comment - they thought I was saying the opposite of what I was saying 🫠

        I also thought it was a different person arguing against the original post - I was about to defend them from themselves 🤣
