So I didn’t know how to respond to your question other than saying, again, that the clip is taken out of context. It bothered me though because I also wanted to know.
Well, it turns out the streams from the 1+1 TV channel are on YouTube, including the inauguration day stream. Of course, I didn’t want to watch 5 hours of it but the clip in the OP thankfully has a timestamp: 21:55. And, what a surprise, if you go to that timestamp in the YouTube video (around 3:10), there is no such discussion about Elon Musk taking place. Instead it’s an interview with a correspondent on site:
Now, there are multiple channels under the 1+1 Media Group control but the decorations are the same in the OP clip and the YouTube stream and the top left corner channel title is 1+1 Marathon, which is a specific and unique TV channel. Coupled with the fact that no Ukrainian news outlets mention anyone saying anything like in the clip, I’d now say that not only the clip is out of context but also likely fake.
Ok let me rephrase. I don’t trust that a ukranian newscaster went on tv and said “we are nazis just like elon musk,” so is there any other context that would indicate this isn’t a sincere “I love hitler and bandera” statement?
Fair point, that I don’t know though. All we know is that 1+1 is a major Ukrainian TV channel owned by Igor Kolomyskyi, the pro-Maidan Ukrainian-Israeli oligarch.
On Ukrainian TV, they literally went “Musk made the Sig Heil Salute, means he’s our guy!”
Lmao
I don’t fuck with that account, anybody speak ukranian?
Yes, this is actually what they said. @gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net is right though, it’s taken out of context.
Is it a joke based on the portrayal by Russia?

L M A O I’m glad my bullshit detector was correct in this instance
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
They already subtitled it for you lol
Маск только что зиганул, ну, наш человек, получается
lol
And I’m saying I didn’t trust the subtitler
This also seems like something where context matters and it might be a bit
You can hear what he’s saying: Mask tol’ko shto ZIGANUL, nu, nash chilovek
The “zig” in ziganul means “Sieg” aka the “zig” in zig-zag as in the Nazi salute.
