Who keeps saying Elon’s Nazi salute was a Nazi salute? Amongst others, a whole lot of fucking Nazi’s.
ETA: Wired has more coverage on how real goddamn fucking nazis are just as happy as pigs in shit right now: Neo-Nazis Love the Nazi-Like Salutes Elon Musk Made at Trump’s Inauguration.
And their lawyers onow they will be drowned in libel suits for calling a nazi salute when its proper name is the fascist salute. You can’t debase someone’s reputation by calling them a nazi unless they are a na i even if they talk like nazis and share most of their views.
I don’t quite follow what you’re saying, but I think I largely agree?
In the USA they would get swarmed in lawsuits by Musk and his associated companies for calling him a Nazi which is an insult. It does not matter that he has a lot of Nazi adjacent opinions.
The safest thing for the press to do is call it “odd” and mention “historical significance” and maybe the fact that it came from ancient Rome and letthe audience figure it out. Most adults are not so stupid as to not see what he did.
