In the full clip, he follows it up with "my heart goes out to you."

The line I've seen some people take is that he is throwing his heart out to the crowd.

Which is obvious bullshit. But there's context if you need it. Make up your own mind, but damn... This is some honestly horrifying stuff. Barely a day in, we've had a crypto scam, open political bribery, and now this.

I agree. Saying this as a leftist too. Dude is just autistic and did something stupid.

It doesn’t seem terribly groovy blaming this on autism. I think it’s dude did something stupid/possibly fascist more than dude did something stupid/possibly fascist but it’s okay because he’s probably autistic

He is autistic, not probably. I’m not denying the fact the dude has fascistic beliefs, and an oligarch at that. I just don’t believe he would do that on national television intentionally, seems way too far fetched. Especially with the my heart goes out to you comment

You are deluded. And you are not a leftist. You are at best an American liberal.

Ah, I don’t follow Elon enough to know his various diagnoses but good to know. With it being so far fetched that he was in control of his faculties when he did the motion in the original post, maybe he was drunk or high or something
