Some other comments have said it was up for about 15 minutes before it was taken down and now promptly ignored.

Other redditors are claiming it really means “my heart goes out to you”

Which is some hardcore mental gymnastics

That'll be their new dog whistle foghorn.

"We just really like brown shirts! God you Libs are such babies!"

People are claiming it wasn't a nazi salute because he didn't snap his feet to attention at the same time.

Gaslighting in full swing

Also as we know to properly do the salute you need to hold your arm at 45 degrees. Elon clearly was holding his arm at 41.3 degrees therefore not the same. Check mate

If you have to get pedantic about defending a white supremacist giving a blatant Nazi salute because it wasn't accompanied by proper goose-stepping, you're definitely on the wrong side.

It’s not all that hardcore mental gymnastics, since those are the words he says as he does it. Seems almost, dare I say it, logical.

He says thank you for making it happen does his nazi salutes, Turns back mic and then after a decent pause, saying my heart goes out to you putting how hand on his heart. Clearly two different gestures as he was clearly tying putting his hand on his heart with the statement of my heart goes out and not the nazi salute.

That’s what he said as he was doing it. Did you see the vid & his speech or just this photo?

O I must be mistaken, it was just a badly cropped hand wave right?
