if you dont mean to defend/apologise for musk. why did you even take the time to write this? As a german who studied the ns-regieme a lot in their life let me (and pretty much every expert on that issue who commented on that) tell you that this is a clear nazi solute. not greatly executed, the führer would have been dissapointed, but it features all the elements to that salute. as i suspect elon has a pr team, and 'educated' himself on the holocaust in Oświęcim, id say it is impossible he didnt know and accidentally mimiced it in that detail.

I also know a lot about the NS Regime. For similar reasons than you, I assume. The execution is so bad that I just don't believe it is. But I am happy to admit that I am not aware of the connection between the event and Oświęcim, without assuming that it was a salute. Could you explain that to me, please?
