Could he be waving to folks in the crowd? I’ve heard people do that. A video would give more context than a still image.
The point is the Democrats lost their minds when Elon Musk did the same wave.
The news media have being doing something like it forever. Now that the newspapers are a thing of the past, they can quietly change an article from years ago without anyone noticing it and then refer back to it and say, "look, it's always been this way."

Yeah, I remember that. Someone could post a still of me waving to my Mom while leaving her house and accuse me of the same thing.
Online shopping is naturally all digital. People seem fine with that.
Changing price labels is a pain. At least they're still displaying prices.
I don't think the digital pricing is the issue as much as combining it with cameras, digital surveilience, marketing, and all of the data collected on you.
In the movie minority report, you could see it in how the ads changed as the programs scanned retinas.
A company can pick up when your car left your home,find your face on a traffic cam,know you pulled into a parkibg lot, and correlate your searches and income to change the price of an item as you approach it. Then lower or raise it for the next person.
It's likely not an issue for the poors here. But income based pricing is creepy. And EBT pricing can be just as predatory. Raising junk food pricing for some and lowering it for wealthier people who buy more vegetables.
Then you get the commies or authoritarians in charge who use the systems to drive policy. See China for examples.
They caught yet another rag head extremist with a "green card"!!

Unlikely in my situation. I don’t even have anything with TPMS or a touch screen. And my phone is so old it basically just makes phone calls. When I turn it on, that is.
I think I found my new favorite meme!!
There's gotta be some way to use this technology for good. Like raising the prices on pop tarts for fatties and lowering the prices on steak for skinny vegans.
Some of the need for digital is inflation. The more often prices change the more work it is to update in the store.
