Just so you know, my downvote for this !@*(% comment is one of the few ways we Germans dare to be patriotic.

  Could you elaborate? I'm German and reasonably patriotic, but I don't get why you'd want to down vote parent. Edit: To elaborate: I can see that Elon is sometimes being put in a worse light than would be appropriate. Same is true for Trump. I cheekily think they kinda deserve it, but having run a company that was in the media a lot, you do get unfair coverage from the best outlets. I bet Elon does too. I don't know if that was supposed to be a salute or not, and I anyhow couldn't think much worse of him than I did before the Twitter drama. But I also think parent is right that Elon's brand is entirely poisoned in some circles now, where previously he could barely do wrong.

    > I can see that Elon is sometimes being put in a worse light than would be appropriate. Same is true for Trump. These guys lie about everyone else and go out of their way to put others into worst light that would be appropriate so much ... that this particular complain rings hollow. Especially when used in the context where their fans are trying to deny something that is available on camera.

    The post says > His nazi salute was probably not a nazi salute That’s it.

  No offense taken. I understand that it offended a lot of Germans but I still don't think it was intended as a nazi salute. He should have apologized - but he's Elon, why would he? He doesn't care if somebody misunderstands him.
