This whole thing is ridiculous. Elon isn’t a Nazi and doesn’t support Nazis. If it was a Nazi salute it would completely out of context with the rest of his speech. His salute might slightly resemble a salute that you can find Hitler performing once and never again. You can also only see it at an indirect angle and even then it’s not that similar.

Elon looks like he’s doing a football celebration. He salute is super fast, and he shifts his entire body and head into it. He is excited and celebrating. The Nazi salute is slow, formal and serious, they barely move another muscle.

Elon isn’t a Nazi and doesn’t support Nazis.

Everyone here agrees with this. I (and Yehuda57) are open to the possibility that he intentionally did a Nazi salute as a joke/troll.

The flip side of this is that it is a product of Reductio Ad Hitlerum. This desensitized the holocaust as @Yehuda57 has written so well.

The biggest indicator that this is a nothingburger, as CV would say, is that all the people pushing the theory that this is a Nazi salute are pretty much full blown Nazis themselves.
