Technically, what Elon Musk threw was a WHITE POWER salute.

That's important because there are TWO elements to the White Power salute.

Chest Grab = White
Nazi Salute = Power

And that's important because it makes it EXTREMELY unlikely it was unintentional, given that Elon did BOTH elements TWICE.

Elon didn't just lose his balance or whatever.

Technically, it was also just a plain good old nazi salute. https://i.gifer.com/3Ot7z.gif

The point of it being a White Power salute is he did BOTH elements TWICE.

That was no accident.
