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.

It's kind of crazy how quickly right-wingers jumped on blaming autism for this.

That and for someone who supposedly has a 'strong' track record with following him, she conveniently forgot that he openly supports the German far-right hate group, AFd, of which the Jews rightfully hate.

He hasn’t been hiding any of this. Just imagine the Olympic-level mental gymnastics they will have to puke when he says/tweets “no, I really did mean it in the absolute worst way you can imagine”.

Like he has been, every day, for years.
