One was a gesture made by the anti-immigrant, antisemitic Musk, who pushes false stories of white genocide and is responsible for the deaths of thousands of non-white children (by dismantling most of USAID), who supports far-right political parties and leaders, who urged Germans not to be ashamed of their country's history, who created an AI bot that is not just antisemitic but calls itself MechaHitler.

The other, different gesture was made by a relatively liberal, progressive Democrat.
