@mekkaokereke nah, it's a false dichotomy.
new us administration is fascist, and the first day was already dire for everyone who paid attention.
that musk made a nazi salute during an official government function and was getting applause is one thing; and something that surprises no-one.
that the american press minimised the impact is another thing, and – again, for anyone paying attention recently – not a surprise.
that one of the largest organisations nominally existing to fight antisemitism defends him is still significant, no matter what one thinks of that particular organisation.
also, the symbolism of the gesture is still powerful, and you don't need to belittle people who have visceral reaction to seeing it done brazenly in public by a person involved in governance of the united states.
