His post was emulating the excuse people use when they are trying to deflect away from something obviously bad. The state of Israel will refuse to say that what Elon did was antisemitic or an actual Nazi salute. They will talk around the subject and say it wasn’t ACTUALLY the Nazi salute, just him being exuberant in the moment. Or they will point out that the salute was around in Roman times and isn’t actually an antisemitic salute even though Hitler used it, just like people will point out that the swastika is an ancient symbol from Hinduism so it also isn’t antisemitic.
I’m pretty sure they understood your point… not sure you got theirs.
you want to just spell it out for me so I dont have to guess at what’s being insenuated and cause more pointless back and forth argument comments?

He was agreeing with you, basically.
