> It was a Roman salute.

Roman salute, fascist salute, Nazi salute. It's the same thing.

These guys certainly think so: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/elon-mus...

And so does this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/1i68puj/have_we_l...

You just proved my point, thanks. Citing two known sources of lies and lack of credibility.

The ADL even backed Elon defense, saying "It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”

And then the ADL immediately regretted it:

You lie down with dogs, you get fleas.

It's who Musk is. It's who he wants to be.

No, they did not take back what they did. They still defend him. They are NOT defending his puns. Two different subjects. Stop moving the goal post, take the L.

There are no goal posts. There is only who and what Musk is.

I have to say, "Does someone refuse to call what Musk did as a Nazi salute when he did it deliberately, in front of hundreds, twice, and we have video" has become a pretty good litmus test for "Can I ignore this person's opinion and never lose anything of value."
