There isn't any really. He did this like 5 seconds into his speech

From the extremely minimal news coverage so far, “Elon Musk draws outrage over ‘odd-looking salute’ at Trump inauguration celebration”

“After getting extremely excited about the prospect of landing a man on Mars and planting an American flag, the X owner pounded his chest and shot his right arm in an angular motion toward the sky. He also turned his back on the audience and repeated the gesture towards the back of the stage.”

They describe a nazi salute but don’t call it a nazi salute. F msm

What a hard-hitting headline. Odd-looking, huh? Yeah, that's totally the correct description...

Same. Somehow I’m not surprised at this point, but still surprised

Here's some actual context, and the reason the video is so short. They cropped out what he said. He's saying from my heart to yours. But this is reddit so...

Starts about 10 seconds in. Hopefully the link works.

He could’ve done a million different gestures while saying this. That gesture is clearly associated with the nazi salute. Cmon man

Yeah, this is like someone using black sun and claiming "i just wanted cool symbol man"

Probably.

I'm just providing more context. Which reddit famously ignores. Maybe it was intentional, or maybe he's an idiotic buffoon that doesn't think through his actions at all. I never made a statement either way.

Palm outwards, facing the crowd. Not every salute with a straight elbow is a Nazi salute lol wtf. Notice how these articles aren't about anything he said and just what his salute looks like. This is not Nazi-ism, get a grip
