> 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.
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".
Here's a thought experiment for you.
If I stuck my middle finger up at you while saying "my heart goes out to you", what would you think?
Probably not that you support the Nazi regime, as that would be a ridiculous thing to think.
Particularly so if a year before you visited Auschwitz and stated it was "tragic that humans could do this to other humans", and told us how you attended a Hebrew preschool and have a lot of Jewish friends.
