He thinks this is all a game with few stakes for himself.

Exactly. None of what you said paints him as a Nazi, he wanted to get closer to powerful people, and Trump seemed like his ticket in. He won't be able to run for President himself, but he can get close to a sitting President. If the tables were turned and he saw an opportunity on the left, he would've courted Harris or Biden or whatever (but neither were the right fit).

I honestly don't know what Elon's political views are, he mostly seems to be interested in being part of technical progression (hence Tesla, Hyperloop, and SpaceX). He seems similar to Trump in wanting to leave a legacy, and latching on to Trump seems like his attempt to do that. Buying Twitter also became part of that as well.

Maybe he's a Nazi, idk. My point is that this event doesn't prove anything other than that he's a childish attention whore.
