Since Musk made his two salutes all I've seen in response have been highly selective still photos taken at low angles that make it appear Obama, Harris, etc. have been making Nazi salutes. I've yet to see a dynamic unfaked video lengthy video clip of, say, Joe Biden, throwing a Nazi salute. Do you have such a clip with details of the time and place, hosted by a major media outlet?

Of course they don't - they're referring to those still photos you've seen already which look nothing like a fascist salute in their original videos

Have you tried looking up videos from Germany in the 1930s? There r plenty of politicians and even normal citizens giving the same salute.
