     Content of the Zeit article, summarized:
     - Yes this was a Hitler salute. No "apparent" necessary. We've all seen it.
     - Newspapers now have two choices, both of them bad: they can ignore it ever happened, as to not feed the attention the action clearly craved, which normalizes open Nazi symbolism further, or they can explicitly address it, knowing that Musk wants attention, even negative attention. Clearly the Zeit has chosen the latter, and redacted the salute itself to somewhat lessen the impact.
