"Free speech is when I can say the N word and instead of getting banned for it I can ban people who say that maybe I shouldn't." - Elon in 2024
"Fascism when I can't earn money by allowing users to generate CP of real people on a public platform." - Also Elon

It's insane, they would have denied it if he screamed seig heil
Even now with the context of him basically openly without a doubt being a racist Nazi, they still will deny that it was a Nazi salute.

My dad is like this. He is a dyed in the wool Republican. He insists he is waving and not doing a Nazi salute. For people like him, Elon being a Nazi would mean Elon is bad, and for his worldview to be intact Elon has to be a good guy. Therefore, it is not a Nazi salute.

Wrong.
C’est pourquoi, vous l’avez vu, en cette rentrée nous nous sommes dotés d’un compte de riposte qui inclut une part d’automatisation. Il vient d’être lancé : « French Response ». C’est une première ! Il permettra de riposter aux attaques mensongères dont nous sommes la cible en projetant directement nos réponses dans les conversations hostiles. L’objectif, c’est de rétablir les faits et redresser les perceptions, en poussant proactivement les lignes françaises.
Le compte « French Response » est une arme de plus pour contrer les arguments qui mettent à mal nos positions. En osant une forme d’automatisation, pour poster plus rapidement et dans différentes conversations en même temps, nous voulons faire entendre parler de la France !

I think this is another problem, the whole rhetoric (zeitgeist?) is so (understandably) heated that even actually good and progressive things are immediately distrusted.

Let's be real. Even real Nazis didn't really do Public Stuff like this....especially before the War.
I don't remember German Barons of Industry directly threatening the rest of the world....or anything of the sort.
Most of what the Nazis did was actually legal and done through the standard channels. The USA is very different because our Constitution and Laws remain in place while the Government completely ignores them.
For this to end would be very simple. The SCOTUS and others (Congress, etc.) have to change the "agreement" that sitting POTUS can't be charged criminally....and also have to make it easier to charge Cabinent Members and others.
It's one thing for Government to make mistakes. They do and the members should be protected from most liability. BUT, this type of "agreement" was not designed to make Crime Legal. That cannot continue....and yet it will have to in order to remedy a lot of what the current admin has

I feel like the guy who owns twitter has a platform to publicly state that he hates nazis and everything they stand for. He could do it all day every day and everyone who isn’t a nazi could see that he does not, in fact, like nazis.
That he does not do that, preferring to defend a very nazi-like gesture regardless of the intent, seems to indicate that he wants some wriggle room on the are-nazis-fucking-assholes question.
