He went on to state that the homophobic insult heard in the video was not his own, and he blamed the person filming him for using it.
Diaz apologized to his clients and community, saying he was “devastated” that he was connected to the tragedy.
He came to the conclusion that he “welcomed feedback” and was “committed to learning.” The video’s comments have been turned off.
“I sincerely regret my actions in the video,” Diaz said in a follow-up remark to SF Gate. I accept full responsibility for my stupid response to provocation while inebriated.
The footage follows allegations that Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, gave the salute when addressing the crowd at a Donald Trump inauguration ceremony in January.
The passersby who captured the footage are still unidentified. Diaz was not immediately available for further comment when DailyMail.com reached out to him.
