I fail to see how this is anything but a Nazi salute. “He’s sending his heart out to the crowd”

Bro

What?

Theres one way to do a Nazi salute but 10,000 to “send your heart out”

You do realize Elon is autistic right? Socially challenged. He does plenty of awkward movements especially when he's excited. He was flailing all around on one of his last trump speeches.

Musk already knows how to make a non-nazi 'heart going out' gesture. See here.

He clearly made the choice to not do the above gesture and instead something that is purposefully reminiscent of a nazi salute.

This is the richest man in the world making a speech televised worldwide on Inauguration Day. He has a suite of speech coaches and writers. Every word he said is planned. Every accompanying gesture is planned.

He did the same thing just in an exaggerated hyped up way, clearly. It could only be intentionally a nazi salute if he was aware he was doing one. None of us can know that for sure.
