In Europe, it's obvious to everyone that he actually did, and deliberately.
He can't ignore the meaning of this.
It's not even a discussion for us. That is fact, you or the ADL (I don't care who they are) can say anything they want, the fact that he did it and can't ignore the meaning of this make him a Nazi. Adding to the context of supporting Neo-nazi political groups and the ideas that he is pushing, there is absolutely zero doubt why he made a nazi salute.

- scarab92 2y agoMusk didn’t do a nazi salute. The gesture he did is both mechanistically different, and contextually different. It’s only people who are convinced a priori that he’s a Nazi who seem to contort his awkward gesture to fit that narrative.
