> He probably isn't really a Nazi.

He's been promoting Nazist ideas for a year.

And he took part in the AfD's big meeting (you know, the closest thing to a modern Nazi Party in Germany) downplaying what the Nazis did.

If he acts like a Nazi then we need to call him a Nazi and stop coming up with weird excuses for him.

Stopping illegal immigration is Nazi?

Try moving in Japan, Australia or NZ then to find out how nazi they are.

Fact is, AfD is not a Nazi party, or they would be illegal in Germany. They are far right, and could easily evolve into a neo-Nazi party. But you need to check a plurality of certain boxes to be considered a Nazi, and right now they don't check that many of them.

It is true that Musk himself is checking more and more of them every day, though.

Yes, that's why I wrote as close as possible. I'd say that they (and some of their leaders in particular) have very close ties to neo-Nazi ideology.
