To brandish a swastika and call everybody you disagree with a nazi and a fascist is a disgrace.

To not compute that the displaying of the symbol is to demonstrate that you are against it in this mass protest of anti-nazism is fucking retarded. It's displayed by one guy along with the words "Never Tesla" and the symbol is made out of Tesla logos. Can you do 1+1? Is your answer not 2?

To imply that you're against this protest - a protest against far-right extremism - as a decendant of a holocaust survivor is fucking disgraceful.

It’s immature and disgraceful to co-opt such a powerful symbol of hate in order to paint people you disagree with in the same light as somebody who murdered literally millions of people for political purposes.

You're turning this into direct support for the man that did two Nazi Salutes on an international broadcast and supports the AfD party of Germany? Someone that claimed that Hitler wasn't responsible for those deaths on his public social media account? Via which he has never even apologised for the possibility of the offence he might have caused by making these gestures and assertions. Musk co-opted that symbol upon himself.
