Here is the thing about Nazi salutes

[ancianita]

53. In Hannah Arendt's book, "The Origins of Totalitarianism," the Nazis

consciously built up an antisemitic movement in South Africa.

Elon is well educated, not at all ignorant of his home country's history that the Nazis' antisemitism there was always about Nazis lies against Jewish financiers, who'd been driven from Europe and were singled out for special hatred by the white Boers as a "race", and who had no economic influence that country.
Everyone in South Africa also knows SA was mob man Cecil Rhodes' country, when the English and Dutch used African slave labor in the diamond and gold mines they stole from Africans.

I've been to South Africa. There are mesas around Johannesburg like the tall ones we have out West (20-30 stories high) formed at the turn of the 20th century by generations of Africans slaving by hand in nearby gold mines, long before there were mining tools or rail cars for dumping mine waste.

Elon is almost as sickening a sight.
