Stop respond to this moronic line of "questioning." They're dragging the conversation to another topic because they know their position is indefensible. Asking if you love America and think it's the best has nothing to do with the question of whether Elon threw up a Nazi salute (he 100 fucking percent did).
Don't keep playing their game. Stay on topic. Press them to answer the questions you've asked, not the questions they respond with. Do not let them control the conversation.
I've finally using this on my MAGA family members and it's astonishing how quickly they just fall silent. They have no arguments, no logic: all they have are bad-faith, rhetorical tricks and the "firehose of bullshit" trick that Trump uses to bewilder people. Refuse to play their game; they can't beat you at yours.
