Only salutes on or after January 21st 2025 count. I will resolve according to my judgment, based on credible video or photo/eyewitness evidence. Think of a "clear and convincing" but not necessarily "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard of evidence. For reference, Elon Musk's Nazi salute on January 20th would have counted and not been close.

Salutes before inauguration day 2029 will count even if Donald Trump is no longer acting as president.

• Update 2025-21-01 (PST): - The scope is global; salutes from any country are considered. (AI summary of creator comment)

• Update 2025-22-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarifications on Resolution Criteria:

  • Affirmative intent not required: Confirmation of affirmative intent to praise Hitler is not necessary.

  • Trolling counts: Performing the gesture as an effort to troll will count.

  • Repeated gestures at rallies: Performing the gesture repeatedly at political rallies will count despite denials.

  • Media controversy with evidence: If there is widespread controversy in the media about whether somebody was doing a Nazi salute along with video or other substantial evidence, it will count.

  • Non-genuine gestures do not count: Raising the right arm at a medical exam or hailing a taxi does not count.

• Update 2025-03-06 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Any apparent Nazi salute counts regardless of intent:

  • A salute performed to mock or oppose other Nazi saluters will count.

  • This clarification applies even if the gesture is made for trolling purposes or as a form of satire.
