That’s ridiculous. Can you name examples where he is signaling Nazism (except the Salut). Have you watched any long form podcasts of him?

  I mean, you label ADL as a Nazi party. Then you label Musk as Nazi by association. But if you actually look at ADL they are not Nazis. Here's an interesting things I saw just today: https://x.com/derJamesJackson/status/1887425955494268997 https://x.com/derJamesJackson/status/1887425955494268997 So gays are supporting a Nazi party?

    I'm well aware that the Anti-Defamation League is not the Nazi party and does not hold far-right tendencies. I'm not getting your point.

"When did he do Nazi things? Oh by the way, that time he did a Nazi salute on live TV doesn't count for some reason."

  "Elon Musk straight-arm gesture controversy" is... a lemma to describe that occurrence, for sure.

That is such a wonderful quote from you asking if you can name examples of him signalling Nazism, apart from the Nazi salute he gave three times to the entire crowd of the inauguration and on national tv.

Promoting far-right German populist party is a signal surely? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/25/elon-musk-makes-surprise-appearance-at-afd-event-in-eastern-germany https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/25/elon-musk... Similarly, funding far-right fascists such as Tommy Robinson https://www.politico.eu/article/elon-musk-fund-uk-far-right-ringleader-tommy-robinson-legal-fight/ https://www.politico.eu/article/elon-musk-fund-uk-far-right-... in the UK another. I know less about the AfD but anyone supporting Robinson is definitely in the fascist leaning camp.

  And the wife of an elderly holocaust survivor being honoured during that visit called him sociopathic as he seemed unmoved by the experience and more interested in a photo op.

Supporting Afd neo-Nazi party shouldn't count right. For clarity, leader of the AfD party has twice been fined by a German court for using banned Nazi slogan. Musk thinks, keep on giving these guys comfort and support.. no one is gonna notice.

  Getting fined by the speech police isn't the gotcha you think it is
