This is in no way a defense of Elon. He is a horrible Nazi and he hates Jews and I'm a Jew.
That said, I'm not seeing where he brought up the Holocaust. He made a bunch of very offensive puns regarding Nazi leadership, but unless I missed it, nothing about the Holocaust. All the critical responses seem to mention it so maybe I'm missing it?
I guess I feel like "makes Holocaust jokes" is just unnecessary hyperbole when what he said was awful enough.

I think it's probably fair to call punning on the name "Himmler" to be a "Holocaust joke", but I can also understand if someone doesn't think it is.
I guess. It feels like a bit of a stretch to me. If they said "Nazi Jokes" instead of "Holocaust Jokes," it's not like that's still not terrible.
You can't really separate the Holocaust from the Nazis.
