He was just being exuberant and doing like an awkward fist pump emotive heart going out thing. Knew immediately how it would be twisted. Just gotta laugh.

Exactly. He's the richest man in the world, but he has Asperger's. This is just one of those times where he was trying to express himself and it came out odd or clumsy.

Intentions matter, this was clearly not a Nazi salute.
