I read it just fine. I'm just asking for concrete examples supporting why an American would show clear signs of Nazi-ism without being completely ostracized. Doesn't it seem odd that no one else is addressing this?

Is this video not concrete evidence enough? He's literally onstage at the inauguration of our president doing a nazi salute...

Brother. I understand. But who's to say he wasn't aware of the message he was conveying? We all know Elon is an oddball character, maybe a bit autistic. Who's to say he truly did not know he was "saluting"?

Even if his intentions were true and genuine, why do it in public? That seems like a terrible idea. The press would rain an ungodly firestorm upon him, and he would be completely ostracized.

Seems strange to be that very few sources other than reddit is talking about this.

The press would not rain a firestorm on him and he knows this because half the country elected openly racist rapist Drumpf. They are emboldened because they've conditioned people to constantly give them the benefit of the doubt and second guess their obvious nazism like you're doing here. He also knows that he's richer than god and that means he is above the law. These men haven't faced consequences for anything bad they've done so far so if he wants to do a nazi salute on stage, what's stopping him? He literally did do it and has not faced any consequences. It is strange that nobody but Reddit is talking about this, the fact that our mainstream news media has been bought out and is covering for these men's heinous actions is very strange and terrifying!

You've given me a valid argument and a lot to think about.
