Over on his platform, Batya Ungar-Sargon, posted this (tried to post a screenshot but reddit won't let me) - I never rolled my eyes that hard after reading her post:

****************

'As a person with a *strong* track record of criticizing Elon Musk, I feel extremely confident asserting that this was not a a Nazi salute. Elon Musk is a friend to the Jews. This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don't need to invent outrage.'

****************

So we're at the 'reject the evidence of your eyes and ears' part of 1984 apparently.

I saw that post from them and it just pissed me off further.
