The really shocking thing about this is the fact that a member of the US Congress believed it.
We have idiots governing us.
Mostly.

It's absurd to believe Musk is a Nazi of course, but it's easy to believe he intended a Nazi salute, to troll the world. I think it played out well for him.

Most of them will believe anything they're asked to - or at least to say they do. It's the
politepolitical thing to do. -

The press has learned nothing in 10 years of this crap.
Same old, same old.
The press is covering everything the same way. The Dems are attacking on well-worn paths.
Have we learned nothing?

If Musk had a point beyond trolling, it would be that.

The hand over the heart before flinging the arm out, is an important ingredient.
Which is sort of why all the memes of Superman or random politicians caught in a split-second photo with their arm extended fall flat.
A nazi salute is an action, a motion. A still photo of a guy doing jumping jacks caught at just the right moment isn’t quite the same thing.

And he is saying “My heart goes out to you” as he does it. Context is still key.

He may be a bad Nazi but there’s no denying he’s a world-class troll.

Yeah, of course.

Now do Walz and Macron.

"Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents,” Musk said, seemingly referencing the country’s history with the Nazi party.
“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk added, to cheers from the crowd of some 4,500 people.
Never hear of the Alternative for Germany Party, and would be interested to hear from some Germany members like @Klaus

My girlfriend just said to me I'd have to write 100 pages to explain it. It's complicated...
They are a very diverse bunch of people, from disappointed conservatives over tin foil hat conspiracy theorists to people who dream of a third Reich. They have some people I'd happily vote for and others I'd not even piss on if they were on fire (to take a metaphor I learned from @Jolly ).

Yeah that was Larry. Only saw him use it to refer to one person.
