Elon Musk's Childhood Friend Explains His Sieg Heil

In light of Elon Musk's awkward gesture at an inauguration rally for incoming president Donald Trump; everyone is speculating.  Did he actually Sieg Heil or did he not?  We caught up with Elon's childhood friend, Biltong Masterson, for an explanation.

According to Biltong, the explanation is very simple. Let's use an analogy and an assumption to examine this.  First, let's assume that his intentions were genuine and they came out in an awkward gesture.  Secondly for the analogy, let's use another Nazi related theme, the Swastika. 

The Swastika is a holy Hindu symbol that was appropriated by the Nazi party.  In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (卐) is called swastika, symbolising surya ('sun'), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (counter-clockwise) (卍) is called sauvastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali. If you go to India one will see Swastikas all over the place.  

Now let's say I get into Hinduism as many westerners do, however I live in the western world.  I would have enough self awareness to know that if I step outside my home with a Swastika necklaces and bracelets, I'm going to get a lot of dirty looks and dirty stares from people around. So probably not a good idea to wear Swastika paraphernalia. 

We are led to believe that Elon Musk is a genius of our time, so where was the self awareness that doing such a gesture, especially at a political rally in the western world, is probably not a good idea?

And I believe I know what happened to the self awareness or lack of it, says Biltong.  Elon's father, Errol Musk, has stated in multiple interviews that when Elon was a child, he was diagnosed by school teachers and administrators as a "Retarded" child.

So on the assumption that his intentions were genuine in trying to give the audience "His heart," the only logical conclusion that one can draw to the lack of self awareness in making that gesture, is that Elon went, as Robert Downey Jr. said in the movie "Tropic Thunder."

"You went full retard man.  Everyone knows you are never supposed to go full retard."
