> nazi salute, foreign war intervention, government influence

Leading with the supposed "nazi salute" really detracts from the other, much more legitimate and substantive issues you raised.

Supposed? He slapped his chest, and flung his arm hard into a heil. And then hu turned around and heiled the flag.

He grew up in apartheid South Africa, where his grandparents moved because they wanted to support apartheid. His grandparents were nazis; as in Errol Musk has stated they were in the "German [Nazi] Party but in Canada", and supported Hitler in the 1940s. Elon would have picked up on these influences, and Elon himself has supported AFD, the current german nazi party. By all accounts, it's not out of character for Elon to heil. I mean, if we for some reason are discounting the obvious visual evidence that he did, in fact, heil.

Pleas explain to me how that wasn't a nazi salute.
