Is it just a coincidence that Martin Luther King day is on the same day as the inauguration of the next president?

Yes. MLK Day is the 3rd Monday of the month. Inauguration day is always Jan 20, unless it falls on a Sunday, in which case it is Jan 21. They happened to coincide this year, as they have occasionally in the past, but it's more common that they don't.

Yes.

On the same day... Elon gives a Nazi salute at a presidential inauguration.

We're going to need to relearn the lessons of Selma.

Two salutes. He gave two Nazi salutes.

It's super clear what he did from watching the video. Those are clearly Nazi salutes.

Jesus christ, even the ADL said that it wasn't a Nazi salute. Give it a rest or it's gonna be a long 12 years for you.

"Russian propaganda everyone has been equal since the founding fathers history needs to be re read"

I'm not sure what is intended by the quote marks. But in case anyone seriously doubts the views of the founding fathers, remember that many of them owned human beings as private property, and they enshrined lack of equality in the US Constitution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_Compromise
