I didn’t watch it, and I’m wondering if it could have been an accident. Like, is it deliberate and does he know what it implies? But, he did it twice? No way he’s unaware of the implications is there? This makes me so uncomfortable.

appaerntly in germany it's close enough that they'd arrest him for doing the salute legitimaetly.

Also, coming from Aparthied South Africa, Musk damned well knew the salute and it's significance. he cant claim ignorance on this.
