I didn’t ask Scott to "do a Nazi salute." I asked Scott to do whatever Elon Musk’s gesture was, since Scott said it was a mere greeting of enthusiasm for the crowd.
If that's the case, he should have had no problem enthusiastically greeting our live TV audience that way too

Challenging Scott Jennings to do a Nazi salute on air when his whole point is that Elon didn't do a Nazi salute is not the killer rejoinder she thinks it is

Let me help with context. Musk has also:
*declared Jews are pushing "hatred of white people"
*promoted the Great Replacement conspiracy theory (that globalist Jews are conspiring to fill America with brown people to replace the white majority)
*told Germany's Nazi-sympathizing & Holocaust-diminishing AfD party, two days before Holocaust Remembrance Day, that Germany has "frankly too much of a focus on past guilt and we need to move beyond that." (This was actually the main subject of our panel.)
To my knowledge Scott has done none of those things. So it should be even less problematic for someone like him to replicate this enthusiastic gesture, if on its own it is truly innocuous.

This is an insult to people with autism, some of whom I'm related to. The nation's largest autism organization was literally founded in my grandparents' living room.
Don't scapegoat autism for clear antisemitic dog whistles.

He was throwing his heart out to people. You’re a clown. He is autistic. They communicate differently.
