Well, I mean why would people apologize for what their grandparents did? Perhaps any Nazis still alive during WW II should apologize. Otherwise, It's like asking all white people to apologize for slavery.
At any rate, I think if Elon is truly a Nazi, it should become pretty obvious in relatively short order. If the only evidence we get that he is a nazi is an awkward gesture then it's pretty safe to say he isn't. It's not something you have to interpret with great nuance. Either your rounding up minorities and shipping them to be gassed, starved, and cremated alive in concentration camps (or something comparable)...or you are not. I'll keep an eye out for disappearing neighbors.
You're right. And that is the exact argument Japan always makes when China makes its yearly demand for Japan to apologize for WWII. There certainly is room for a debate here—I'm not saying otherwise. I think the timing wasn't the best though for that comment. I mean whether what he did was or wasn't the nazi salute doesn't really matter, then turning around and making that comment does not give a good image when connected to his action.
