If you say so. I think Hirohito, Hitler, and Mussolini might disagree with you there. Of course, there will always be fascist elements, especially among the many dictators in developing countries during the Cold War. IMHO, what we see now is a major shift towards authoritarianism.
I trace it back to the days of the Monroe Doctrine. Seeds waiting for the bloodrains of WW2 to eagerly flower, to pulse and spread, blighting every surface, seeking every crack
Yes, US has MANY fascists. But it's not the only place. Hungary, Italy, Slovenia....maybe Germany next and France. Watch upcoming elections. The fact that Americans have never had World Wars on their territory means, unlike many Europeans, they still naively believe twisted ideologies. And religion.
"Himmler" seems to be just another name in the bunch to Musk.
But to many people he is the man who killed their relatives.
To joke about him is to mock the suffering of millions.
Musk must be made to apologise, and never offend again.
Stop giving these fascists benefits of the doubt. There is literal years of evidence displaying exactly who they are. If you don’t recognize that, then I’m wondering how you can dress yourself or walk.
They literally just gave the guy a pass to publicly be a Nazi. Nothing they do now will be able to overcome the fact they defended him when he publicly gave a Nazi salute. Anything he does now, his supporters just pull out the statement that the ADL is ok with it.
As for Musk, walks like a duck, squawks like a duck, it's a... Autocrats always deny the obvious in from people, like Trump a perfect example. His lies and actions condemns him for what he is, and Musk here, too.

No, babes. Fascism wasnt defeated. It was absorbed.

Mussolini and Hitler are dead, sure, but the US fascists were untouched, and their post-war machinations are still turning and multiplying
Its you. America. Americans.
Youre the fascists. You have been for a very long time now, and, unimpeded, youve carved the entire world into a new animal.
America. Americans. You're the fascists, and you should be put down
