Throwing up a Nazi salute and then trying to make light of it is like joking about bombs in an airport queue: You just don't do it. There is no choice but to take the meaning and intent exactly literally. There is no latitude for humor or interpretation or equivocation; the very act shows what is in the actor's heart and mind.
Musk is a full-on Nazi-loving fascist. He is an extremely grave danger to this country. The new presidential administration, while it has a dangerous, malicious, but bumbling idiot as its figurehead, is being led around by its nose by a full-on Nazi-loving fascist.
The only “smart” response would be to kick him outta DC and place all his contracts up for review. Won’t happen, and this is the demise of the GOP. QED. FFS.
The thing about our dear Elise is that like 99.99% of MAGA Republicans she is anti-semitic to her core. She projected her anti-semitism on students and others who wanted to end the senseless genocide in Gaza because it helped her politically. But the other diplomats at the UN will see right thru her just as they saw thru the emptiness of Nikki Haley and the offensiveness of John Bolton. She will be totally ineffective and find that becoming a Trump toadie outside the warm confines of a MAGA House of Representatives will spell the end of her career in politics. Just ask Nikki.
Speaking of infiltrating our democracy with Nazi hate blather, check out their new whitehouse.gov website. After the propaganda, notice what's NOT there: no links for the people. Or banks
To your point about elevated politics: going high when they go low didn’t work for Hillary or Kamala. You can’t fight by Marquess of Queensberry rules when the other guy keeps punching below the belt.
We are seeing a final, full union between office park Dads/Angry White Males, who back in 1993, while grumpy and frustrated with social change took pains to separate themselves from Nazis.....now they are giving the Nazis bearhugs. It's been a long, sad degradation in the standards of conservatives and reactionaries over the last 32 years, with Charlottesville being a steep inflection point. See clip from 1993 film, Falling Down, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jSVwZ8w3C4, This was but a few years after right-wing TV shock jock Morton Downey Jr. would bring Neo-Nazis and skinheads on his show as targets of ridicule as his occasional display of faux 'fair and balanced' and break from going after typical targets of right-wingers. Apparently that performance of separation isn't needed anymore.
The acronym og the original Nazi Party was NSDAP. It fits today's Republicans too : National Sycophant Donald Adoration Party. The S part has several alternatives, like Saluting, Scary, Salivating...

Brilliant take on the sewer that is Musk
