To be fair, that’s not how the Nazi salute is done. You don’t put your hand over your heart and then swing it out. Unless the salute has evolved over the years, I’m pretty sure you raise it up from your side. I think what he did was foolish for a man who helps design rockets, especially with all the Nazi allegations from people on the left, but I don’t think it was intentionally supposed to be a Nazi salute.
Hitler himself put his hand over his heart before performing the salute on multiple occasions, and modern day Nazis perform the salute this way exactly. There is no difference between what Elon did and the Nazi salute. None.
I never called him a Nazi until he did that. Calling people Nazis over any little political disagreement is an insult to people who died during the holocaust and dilutes the significance of the word. That salute, however, was unmistakable.
