I strongly oppose the constant slander and the litany of lies partisan commenters post about Musk.
You don't get to throw out "fondness for throwing Nazi salutes" slander, based on an hoax immediately debunked at the time, and then act like you're doing democracy a favor. Try to stick to the facts.
Regarding the journalist discussed here, I had a look at his X account, and he posted no less than 20 posts attacking Tesla and Musk in just the last day. It's virtually all he posts, and it indeed appears deranged. The flagged comment was fair enough.

We've all seen the video, there is no hoax and no doubt that he was doing a nazi salute, with some level of "humor" defense.
Seriously what is up with all the Electrical n apologists? Dude's a nazi. Weaseled his way into everything digitally related to the American government and should be treated like foreign intelligence agent. He has oversold and under-delivered everything he has bought from other people to claim for himself. Weird he's got so many dickriders on HN.

I think most of us don't care about the opinion of any Israël politician as they are doing Nazi things (genocide).

Just to clarify. This is the video context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw
Are you claiming that this is not an accurate depiction of what happened on stage? (That is the video is in some form fake. A deep fake, or special effects, or an Elon impersonator or whatever.)
Or are you claiming that the gesture seen is not a nazi salute?
Yes, "nazi salute" is obviously not an accurate description of the gesture Musk performed before saying "my heart goes out to you".
