I earnestly do not believe that Trump is. He's very good at manipulating people, which puts him in the category of dangerous, but not a Nazi.

As for Musk, as I said, there have been other signs. 

Modern Nazis usually (🧐) don't out themselves deliberately, but there are always hints. I had strong suspicions before Monday's theatrics.

And when you're carrying a hammer, evertything looks like a nail.

The ADL has defended his guesture as "Not a Nazi salute."  And it appears that anti-semites are not happy about it.

(People in the know call them the "25-letterers")

As I ponder the creator of this symbol, I receive in my mind's eye a sword and pointy-head.  It is the epitome of "the sword is mightier than the sword."

I've really tried to learn about the AfD.  But all I've been able to find are ad hominems.  I can't find any details.

Can you provide some?

I'd be intereseted in learning your opinion on how one can tell the difference between "hints"/"dog whistles" vs. observation bias (a hammer looking for nails).
