Probably refering to his nazi salute, and support for far-right neo-nazi groups like AfD in Germany
The "Nazi salute" was just a cringy rendition of the "my heart goes out to you" thing. I can find dozens of other famous people doing something similar.
And the AfD isn't a neo-Nazi group.
It wasn't a Nazi salute, and that should be obvious.
>>I don't see that growing up next to Auschwitz makes you an expert in this area.
Something about being taught about this stuff endlessly at school and seeing it brought up all the time in your immediate neighbourhood makes you recognize when it happens - I guess that's just how it works.
>> what was just an awkward moment
The whole idea that the self-proclaimed "most intelligent man on earth" didn't know what he was doing and it was actually some kind of heart felt awkward gesture is again, dishonest at best.
The interpretation can be doubted, but you have to give credit to Elon Musk for being an actual techno-fascist coming from a family of pro-apartheid racists. Maybe it's not technically a nazi salute, but you can't argue it's not a fascist salute given his political inclinations.
> And the AfD isn't a neo-Nazi group.
Please read up on the AfD. They have nazi references in their propaganda, actual nazis in their ranks, and an actual nazi program. On that last point, when they plan secret meetings for deporting wrong-race german citizens, that's straight out of Hitler's playbook, and was his solution before the "final solution" (mass extermination).
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're simply uninformed and not actually downplaying nazism. Happy to provide sources for a specific point if you can't find any.
Okay, you believe what you want, I guess.
> And the AfD isn't a neo-Nazi group.
Uh, huh. Sure.
