There is no doubt Elon did a Nazi salute. It fits the picture: public antisemitism on X, pushing far right winged parties in countries he has no business in..
I lost a dozen ancestors to the Wehrmacht in Poland in 1939.
Musk needs to be kicked in the nuts and deported if he’s going

Yes, and intentionally. If you look into the average Nazi group in Germany, only a small part is weirdos with Nazi cosplay and a poster on the wall. A large part is in it because they want to oppose, aggravate, abuse and hurt people. The Nazi play is just the stage to do it in bunches.
