> Elon Musk … nazi affiliations

Do you have a source for this?

Like the other commenter said, doing something that looks like a nazi salute doesn't make you a nazi, and supporting far right parties does not make you a nazi.

Both those things do however make other people think you may be a nazi, which is all that really matters here.

Whether Elon Musk is a nazi is irrelevant, what matter is that people think he is.

He may look like a duck, and he may quack like a duck, but don't let that fool you...

So no, you don’t have a source.

Supporting parties on the right does not make you a nazi.

Raising your hand does not make you a Nazi.

Fine, sure. Certainly there's a philosophical conversation to be had about what it means for one to be made a nazi by one's actions alone, in 2025.

But that doesn't matter. All that's needed for Elon Musk's behavior to cause problems is for him to do things that make other people think he is a nazi, which is a much lower bar, and one that is met by supporting far right parties and making gestures indistinguishable from nazi salutes.
