Musk is a troll.

Don't feed the troll.

Every bit of energy and attention expended on the sieg heil is a bit of energy and attention that's NOT being expended on any of the actions being taken and policies being enacted by Trump and the oligarchs right this moment for the direct and explicit purpose of destroying liberty and democracy in the US.

The sieg heil is performative. It's a symbol. In and of itself, it causes no direct harm.

However, a terrifying number of the actions that Trump is actually taking - directives he's issuing and policies he's implementing -are causing and will cause direct and measurable harm.

They need to be the focus, and the sieg heil is a distraction from them.

And that's not an accident. Musk is a troll.

Musk is running the U.S. government. Dismissing someone that dangerous as just a troll is a mistake.

He definitely shouldn't be dismissed and people are right to be absolutely pissed at the open nazism, but also the sieg heil is an extremely obvious distraction.
