How is it misinformation? It's obvious what it was. Doesn't mean he's a Nazi, maybe he's "just" a '90s era trolling edgelord. Come to think of it, considering his X shitposts he boosts to hundreds of millions of people every day, that's a good description of him.

[To people who think he's a Nazi: yes, I've read all the arguments, no, I don't care - giving him the benefit of the doubt still makes him a gigantic shitlord who think its funny to do Nazi salutes.]

Reach matters. If you’re a nobody with three followers and tell someone on the internet to kill themselves, you’re a troll and can be ignored. If you have millions of followers, that one comment will get the other person doxxed, threatened by your followers, and may end up in physical harm to them and their family.

If you own a social media platform and have this amount of reach you can never be “just a troll edgelord”.

You forgot the /s tag.

Musk has been going to far right rallies and jew hating for some time now.

Lol this article is nothing but conjecture written by someone who clearly already hates him

Misinformation? There are multiple videos of Elon doing a Nazi salute.

The goalpost does not need to be moved to "if he's not literally operating a gas chamber, he's fine".

The best interpretation is that he doesn't care how it looks to others when he does a Nazi salute. Like others said, he's more 90s edgelord than actual jew-hating Nazi.

And the car markets in Europe are showing him what they think of people who do Nazi salutes publicly.
