    Did I miss Elmo claiming it wasn’t a Nazi salute? I have seen lots of articles of other people claiming it wasn’t, but nothing from him.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk_salute_controversy

      Elon Musk responded to criticism of his alleged salute on January 21 on his X account, including calling all news outlets criticizing him biased. He wrote that “The legacy media is pure propaganda”, that “they need better dirty tricks”, and that “the ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired”

        Hey, so, can you highlight the part where he Denys that it was a Nazi salute? I must be blind because none of those words mean “that wasn’t a Nazi salute” or anything even close.

        This is like when my kid would get in trouble, and instead of owning up to it he would get mad at anyone saying he did the thing he did.

        Ahhhh! Right. He said it wasn’t a salute! So, pay no attention to the walk, or the quack….

        “It’s definitely not a duck!”, says the apologist!
