Seth Abramson’s comment came after the wife of a Holocaust survivor has criticized Musk’s visit to the death camp, saying “he was unmoved by the experience.”

David Moscovic, a 95-year-old Holocaust survivor, says it's scary to see things he never thought he would see again — such as a powerful man like Elon Musk using a "German salute."

The wife of a man who survived the holocaust revealed details about accompanying Musk on a visit to Auschwitz last year.

Musk isn’t introducing a novel idea. For years, people have advocated eliminating the penny, as pennies are rarely spent as change. And since the Covid-19 pandemic, more consumers are shopping online or avoiding physical currency altogether .

A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.
