This would have interesting implications if he came to Germany again. Stating the Holocaust did not happen (and claims similar to that like his) counts as a felony here.

What happened, was he out of the news cycle for 10 seconds and his disgustingly insecure self needed a little attention like the toddler he is?
More likely he feels emboldened. After the whole saluting thing, so many jumped to his defense that he most likely feels that he doesn't need to hide it as much anymore.
According to this reasoning CEOs don't create value.
Truuuuue
Well, he's sure lowering the value of Tesla, so maybe you're right.
So how is that 'awkward hand gesture' theory going?
They are all just waving away flies. Hitler and Nazis had huge problems with flies, So Hitler developed the perfect way to wave away flies, and since Musk has the same problem because he stinks so much, he has adopted the very efficient German way to wave away flies.
It's all perfectly innocent, and it makes sense so long you don't think about it.

It was just an awkward hand gesture. But you libruls kept calling him Nazi and playing Jedi mind tricks so he decided to be one. THIS IS THE LIBRULS FAULT, THEY MADE HIM A NAZI! THIS IS THE LIBRULS AGENDA!
Obvious sarcasm. I sell salt by the truck load.
And also all the people who said "you call everyone Nazis"
How did that turn out, huh?
They're still in denial and complaining about crazy lefties who are after Elon, poor guy!
Awkward retweets. Pretty common among people with Musk's condition ( Nazis)
Obviously Hitler was just sending his heart out to the Jews.

Even if you want to play Musk's little "technically correct" game (and you probably don't) it wasn't public sector workers that ran the death camps and slaughtered villagers, it was the military. The military that was, you know, under Hitler's direct command.
And it was AFTER they purged the civil service of the Weimar Republic, which is exactly what this terrorist is doing right now.
"Death is the most reliable form of sterilization". An except from Conspiracy, a movie showing how the top level bureaucrats and SS officers arrived at the "Final Solution" based on the secret notes from the actual conference on the shore of a picturesque lake near Berlin.
also this excerpt in which they discuss the mechanics of mass euthanasia. This shit should be the hardest stuff you watch all week. THIS is the kind of shit we're fighting to prevent from ever happening again. THIS shit HAPPENED and it CAN happen again. To you. Your spouse. Your parents. Your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren. The ONLY thing keeping it from boiling back up is our collective societal prohibition against it, whereby we surgically excise the malignant tumors and dissolve the cultural cancer cells clamoring for another genocide.
"An assembly line". If this excerpt doesn't chill your marrow, please DM me because I want to study your mind. Imagine these cold, unfeeling men talking about the demographic housing your mother or daughter or spouse or you. Imagine the collective life experience, number of childhood smiles, acts of kindness, and raw tears disappearing at a rate of 2,500 per hour, with lungs and throats afire in a remote gray building under a dark sky.
I would love to see him watch and then tell us again how Hitler didn't "murder" anyone. He may not have personally pulled a trigger, thrown a switch, or pushed a button, but he's still drenched in the victims' blood. Musk will be, too, if he keeps strolling this path.
Edit: I'm using the royal 'you' here and not explicitly referring to the commenter to which I'm attaching my comment.
Congrats to the ADL on being Nazi accomplices.
Dear 2016: DON'T SHOOT THE GORILLA!!!
Dear early 2014,
Next year, David Bowie will be diagnosed with liver cancer. A year and a half later, it will kill him. It is absolutely imperative that it be found and treated earlier than that, when it hasn't metastasized yet. Get him diagnosed and treated now. The future of the planet depends on it.
Also, apropos of nothing in particular, here is a bunch of evidence that Donald Trump, the reality show guy who posted all that racist "birther" crap about President Obama, is a tax cheat and a scam artist, and works for Vladimir Putin. Get the IRS on his ass.
Good luck, and may your timeline work out better than ours has.
Nah, the world ended in 2012 like the Mayans predicted.
We're currently in hell.
Musk is a Canadian citizen so maybe Canadian laws should be enforced
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/is-canadas-law-against-holocaust-denial-actually-working
TIL... I thought he was South African (not that I ever cared enough to research). So once Trump annexes Canada he'll become a US national and be eligible to run for President? Pinky and the Brain level of planning there!
He is South African. But he is also a Canadian citizen. They are not mutually exclusive.
There it is, that's why he wants Canada so badly
That'd be great, but I'm not sure how Canada is going to enforce Canadian law inside the US, and I imagine that he's at least smart enough to stay out of Canada.
Ah, but now at least there’s something to keep him from returning.
Musk Retweets lies Saying Hitler Didn’t Murder Millions
FTFY.
If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and heils like a Nazi, it's a Nazi.
Hey, i also think that Elon is a fascist but did anyone read the tweet? It also implied that Stalin and Mao didnt kill Millions.
It said: "Hitler, Stalin and Mao did not kill millions. Their Public Service Agents did."
this is on point for his demographic, "rich white dudes with power that refuse to take responsibility for their actions"
Only the good actions. It's how they justify keeping all the profits. The bad actions are never their fault though.
Stalin and Mao were also fascist dictators.
Debateable, the Red Fascism theory is kinda wonky.
I am against the idea that people who adhere to my preferred mode of production (socialism) can't be genocidal or bad.
I actually looked up the definition of "fascism" in order to check before I posted. Regardless of any politics, they were fascists.
If people have been telling you he wants to be a fascist dictator, but you aren't quite sure you believe it, how does this not set off alarm bells?
Because the racist listeners are focused on the racism, not on the "leaders aren't responsible for anything" part.
It's about responsibility. According to Musk the ruling class cannot be made responsible for anything. Not even Mao, Stalin and Hitler for murdering millions. Also the workers are the bad guys, not the leaders.
Man, I can't wait for somebody to
Provide a public service?
Fix some leaky pipes, the water pressure has been getting low seems like
Fix those streets before motorcycle season starts.
Right?
Sure, Hitler only gave the orders to exterminate millions. That's totally different...
"I didn't shoot that guy, I 'only' pulled the trigger! The hammer, firing pin, primer, gunpowder, and bullet all acted on their own."
I've heard of just following orders before, but just issuing orders is a new one.
