Over the weekend I had someone tell me that Musk's infamous Nazi salute wasn't a Nazi salute.
That the gesture was, originally, a symbol of peace, corrupted by the Nazis, and that Musk was trying to bring back it's true meaning.
My answer was, despite that being utter bullshit, that you don't use a gesture in that way when you know it's been corrupted by Nazis.
My example was, the swastika. It originally WAS, a symbol of peace, used as such for thousands of years, before being corrupted by the Nazis. If I wanted to return it to its original meaning, standing on stage at a hate rally with a swastika flag blowing majestically in the wind behind me, isn't the way to go about it.

"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
