https://lemm.ee/post/54155328/17905549 is the first example, where Call Me Leni/Lenny/Shinigamiookamiryuu posted a link to Twitter, and someone responded with “ew, Xitter Link”.
Call Me Leni/Lenny/Shinigamiookamiryuu replied with “Who is Xitter Link”? and it was explained that the owner of Twitter is a Nazi, to which Call Me Leni/Lenny/Shinigamiookamiryuu responded with “The whole salute thing has been debunked though.” Call Me Leni/Lenny/Shinigamiookamiryuu locked the thread after members replied to the statement of the salute being debunked.
29 days ago, someone made a thread on a Support community on Lemmy.world https://lemm.ee/post/55188600 and this prompted Call Me Leni/Lenny/Shinigamiookamiryuu to do what other users perceived as doubling down:
Elon Musk performed a Nazi salute…twice, standing in front of a presidential seal, at a nationally televised presidential inauguration. Then, instead of apologizing and/or clearing things up, he doubled down.
That’s the problem. People think of this too simply. He doubled down on people speaking for his intentions behind the gesture, and even encyclopedias echoes the same caution I do. Are those encyclopedias pro-Nazi?
In a world where it is considered “radical centrism” to be deconstructive of Elon Musk but also considered being a public menace to call Luigi Mangione and his supporters out for similar extremist alignments (the latter which I have not cracked down on since the other controversy), I guess I’ll say it this way: Unless he actually shows himself in the future to have had ideas that follow the lethality or level of discrimination displayed by Nazis (de facto) or identifies with them by name (de jure), I am anchoring onto the position which is well-held enough to be the position of said encyclopedias and which cements the fact there are two sides to every story, despite what many people in this far more extreme crowd would like me to think.

Rules
Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
Let me make this simple for you.
Elon Musk performed a Nazi salute…twice, standing in front of a presidential seal, at a nationally televised presidential inauguration. Then, instead of apologizing and/or clearing things up, he doubled down.
Elon Musk is a Nazi.
Thank you for your time.
