But at the same time French media just repeated the “it's a clumsy handwave from an autistic dude” narrative after Musk's Nazi salute so I'm not sure it will work this time.
It's the new Riviera after all . . .
It's not important what leverage Israel has used to make yet another US president do exactly what they want, contrary to any idea of justice, international law, basic humanity and common sense. The point is that Israel has that kind of leverage and nobody is able to resist it.
Not everything is related to Israel, and there's no good reason to believe that this has anything to do with Israel. French media were pretty critical of Joe Bidden being too old for the job, despite Bidden giving Netanyahu all he wanted.
Edit: OK given that other response of yours in this thread[1], it's quite clear now that you're confusing the fight for the freedom of Palestinians and the hatred of Jews.
In addition to being disgusting, Antisemitic talks like these are actually counter productive: they help the Israelis as it gives them an excuse to victimize themselves once again.
Netanyahu himself tweeted in support of Elon Musk after his nazi-like salute. This is obviously about Israel.

I didn't mention Jews, you are the one confusing Jews and Israel. There are many Jews who are vehement opponents of Israel's nazi government and are denouncing it and its influence on American politics anywhere they can.
Both have the same visible symptoms, but the causal explanation is different. I can write an essay on the former, you cannot give an explanation of "how" Israel is supposed to control the US (that isn't a conspiracy theory about the Jews, that is), that's the problem.
If you want to change my mind, that's easy, just explain how, by which lever, does Israel controls the US. Not the symptoms like you did, but the phenomenon itself as you think it exits.
