I’ve also seen people say “Snopes debunked Elon’s Nazi salutes”
The snopes thing is weird. It’s just kind of a lie isn’t it?
Here’s a snopes article that doesn’t confirm or deny his salute was an HH but states that all those pictures of other politicians in similar are in air poses are in fact not Nazi salutes.

“Do the gesture on video, exactly like Musk did, and let me show it to your boss.”
Also, if it looks enough like a Nazi salute for half the country and most of the world to think that’s what it was, then why didn’t Musk come out and address it by denouncing Nazis and apologizing for the unintended similarity? Why did he double down on it with a tone deaf Nazi joke? No serious person in such a powerful position would do that. So at best, he’s an unserious idiot who shouldn’t have his fingers in our government, and at worst, he’s a Nazi.
Ultimately though, if you’re talking to someone who is still making excuses for Musk doing a Nazi salute, there’s very little chance they are ever going to admit that it definitely was a Nazi salute, short of Musk himself coming out and saying “it was a Nazi salute because I’m a Nazi.”
If it were accidental, and Musk didn’t want anyone to think it was a Nazi salute, he would have immediately apologized and denounced white supremacy. His reaction is more proof than anything, in my opinion.
Fuck off?
I’d ask if I can take a video of them doing the same thing and send it to their boss, school, etc.
people who say that do not live in reality and should be cut out of your life
Not at all. Forever.
Or using a fist.
They don’t honestly believe that, they just trollin
“Anti-Defamation League”, lol. I hate how you can just name something a blatant lie. I’m asking my representatives to pass the Today’s Economic Stability and Liberty Act. As part of it, Musk has to have each dismantling of a government agency or mass firing of workers approved by Congress, and he has to punch himself in the dick, daily.
Gifs?
(As a bonus round you can fight over how it’s pronounced!)
It’s pronounced “gif”.
Thank them for identifying as an idiot and stop taking to them.
Ask them to do the same gesture at a synagogue or other public event
Or in Germany, where it’s literally illegal. They also have some history with Nazis…
They are Nazi sympathizers, there probably is no proper way to respond to them.
Some people are just plain refusing to accept it, because what, the woke gay libs would actually be right? They ain’t gonna drain the swamp the good way but the bad way? Nooo, you don’t get it, it’s just a prank bro.
Many Americans think being a Nazi simply means hating Jews, they don’t understand how they’re Nazis through and through.
I bet they would score high on Umbero Eco’s 14 signs of fascism.

There was also a side by side comparison between Elon and a Neo-Nazi Blood Tribe member floating around.
There’s a side-by-side comparison between the Apartheid Manchild and HITLER!
