The joke is exactly that the "argument" you're using has been abused to such a point by American "centrists" and the even more far right types that per their definition the only possible way to be a Nazi is to have been a member of the National Socialist Party Of The German Worker during the period when it was committing the Holocaust.

You saw a lot of this shit from, for example, supporters of Zionism, and now you're seeing an even more ridiculous version of it from far-right muppets trying to excuse Elon's looks-like-Hitler's repeated salute as not Nazi.

Normal people who are not arguing in bad faith will have a definition for the threshold of when a person, party or nation's actions might be considered as Nazism which is far less restricted than "only those who were the murderers in the Holocaust qualify".
