Why was there a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad on X?

Because they know their target audience, presumably.

It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to "play the game" as they've always known it.
Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.
But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can't make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:

Because they're scared. Print that, get buried in lawsuits by the richest edge lord in history.
You have to be smarter than this and actually defund his backers. Make it incredibly hard for them to be associated with him. Show him as a losing proposition.
As long as he's winning, people are buying Tesla's, the US is financing public money into space X, and multinationals are active and paying for Twitter then nothing is going to change.

Cuz its X, that's why. I really don't know why we tolerate this shit, or why people still use that site.

Just change it to 'controversial salute' and keep the rest. People will fill in the blanks

This can't be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk's obvious Hitler salute, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven't seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.

Sure it's an ad and not just the owner's tweets?

No they won't.

Sounds like free speech here in the United States. I understand Musk might now be consistent but I do welcome free speech on social media. If you don't like it then block it & move on. It's almost like Democrats search for things to get upset about. Really annoying cause free speech used to be something Democrats cared about & now they are pro-censorship & fascist just like Republicans. They thirst for violence against people that say something that offends them.
Here's some free speech for you:
Fuck you, Nazi-enabler.
-
The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.
Next question.
It hurts when i do this. What should i do.

There are limits to free speech just like there are limits to other freedoms. For example: "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins." IOW where harm is done. So the question becomes do messages like this cause harm? IANAL, but I believe that it would qualify as hate speech, which is widely considered to cause harm.

Stop doing it. NEXT!

It's also important to distinguish freedom of speech (protected by the first amendment) from free speech (a made up concept meant to bastardize on the former and to allow social media post whatever they want anonymously, like this ad).

Holy shit. Thank you so much!

I don't think the question is if there was one.
The question is, would anyone be surprised if there was?

That sounds nice. I wish it was like that here.
A law to prevent spreading false history may sound good but I fear it's not a good solution. In bad hands the law can instead can attack history to promote a false one. If an inconvenient truth happens to looks like the dribble that comes out of a Holocaust denier when took at face value then good hands may punish an otherwise good person, thus promoting a different pseudo history.
I'm convinced I cannot trust anyone to judge - for me - what I should be able to read/hear. There must be better ways to defeat Nazism ideology.

I'm genuinely shocked it was taken down at this stage in our self-destruction
