I’ve also seen people say “Snopes debunked Elon’s Nazi salutes”

    “Do the gesture on video, exactly like Musk did, and let me show it to your boss.”

    Also, if it looks enough like a Nazi salute for half the country and most of the world to think that’s what it was, then why didn’t Musk come out and address it by denouncing Nazis and apologizing for the unintended similarity? Why did he double down on it with a tone deaf Nazi joke? No serious person in such a powerful position would do that. So at best, he’s an unserious idiot who shouldn’t have his fingers in our government, and at worst, he’s a Nazi.

    Ultimately though, if you’re talking to someone who is still making excuses for Musk doing a Nazi salute, there’s very little chance they are ever going to admit that it definitely was a Nazi salute, short of Musk himself coming out and saying “it was a Nazi salute because I’m a Nazi.”
