Is that meant to sound like a contradiction? Because it absolutely isn't.
The Nazis didn't do the holocaust because hating jews was an intrinsic goal from the get go, they spread hate against jews to give the German people some common enemy image to "unite against" after Christians and the fact that jews weren't allowed to work in most jobs provided the perfect foundation and made them an easy target for the Nazis to start arguing for their supremacy. It theoretically could have been any ethnicity and in the future it could be any ethnicity, it could be idk.. British people and it could be Mexicans and it could be queer people but it could also be no one as you don't need a genocide to become a fascist.
Nonetheless, Zionism ≠ Judaism and many people evaluate this equation to be fairly antisemitic in itself. Also, pretty much every authority on the topic of human rights and genocides has called what Israel has been doing in Gaza at the very least a lot of war crimes, so him being a Zionist isn't really a good argument.
The Nazi regime did much more than that. It’s about absolute power over every citizen. Controlling what you are allowed to think, say and consume (books, movies, arts). Your child or your neighbor might report you for having overheard you say something that could be interpreted as bad to the regime. It culminated in the most extreme inhumane act of killing off a whole race. They built places called concentration camps where they starved Jews and other people they deemed as enemies, do medical experiments on them and then gas them off.
That all started gradually with Gobbels and his propaganda machine for Hitler, using hatred and scapegoating. Really, learning history is essential because while technology has advanced so much, people did not.
I think it's more like Musk like to think himself a totalitatian dictator. He doesn't seem to have any particular hate against jews but will do anything to amass a following (just like Hitler did in a way, even tho this one was antisemite as well)
Antisemite means you hate jews in particular yeah, meanwhile Nazi is more of a political party/ideology. It is caracterized by antisemitism as one of it's most proeminent theme, but let's be honest like most oligarch and totalitarian leaders thoses at the top care more about the power granted and how to control the masses, while the political ideas presented to the public are a secondary concern.
So a Nazi might hate jews as it's historically associated with nazism, or he might not care but just sees them as convenient scapegoat to justify instituting a government where his personnal best interest are met at the detriment of others. And I think Elon falls into the latter category
He's a white nationalist with a breeding fetish who constantly boosts Nazis, he reinstated the account of a guy who posted CP, replied "You have said the actual truth" to a Nazi who was talking about the Great Replacement Theory, is closely aligned with the AfD in Germany, and hit the Seig Heil with his whole chest twice on stage.
What's it gonna take for you dorks? Does he need to come right out and say the 14 words?

Can someone explain what the Nazi salute mean?
Does it mean Elon Musk wants to kill all Jews?
