News from today; german prosecutor is investigating against the guys who projected this on the Teslafactory for showing illegal Nazi symbolics. So: for german prosecutors it definitely was a Nazi salute.
That is not German humor, that is German anger.
Tbf, german humor and german anger are hard to distinguish by people who aren’t used to both.
Genau.
His response kinda confirms it was exactly what it looked like:
“Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” Musk wrote on the social platform X, responding to a post describing the “salute hoax” as “just another part of the ‘dirty tricks campaign.’”
“The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk added, with a sleeping emoji.
Yeah, it’s not like the Germans would have any special insight into Hitler and not invoke him lightly.
The only response to that should be
Straw man: Nobody accused you of being Hitler

I’m actually impressed you created that one 2 years ago, I assumed you just did it for this joke.
We Germans have a very good humor actually we wrote the book aboud it. A whole compendium. Thousands of pages. The most comprehensive work you’ll find. It’s just not a funny book.
I can picture this very German explanation of what humour is. A technical manual on it and how to be funny, and yet not a single “lol” was had in the reading
German humour is no laughing matter.
You don’t get a “vroom” from reading a car manual, either.
Now i am sad
Why
No no, that’s the joke
