"When someone on a political stage, during a political speech, in front of a crowd including no shortage of far-right followers extends his right arm at an angle, repeatedly, they're giving the Hitler salute."
It's easy to find a still photograph of somebody waving that makes it look like a Nazi salute. When a Nazi, to a Nazi crowd, makes that gesture live on video, twice?
Well, if the Party has told you 2 + 2 = 5, you know what your answer must be.
I would agree with the people trying to find an innocent explanation for Musk's gesture except that the man making it has a track record of espousing Nazi ideas (racism, eugenicism) and also a track record of racist behavior.

1. You did not see what you thought you saw.
2. He did it by accident.
3. He did it because he's autistic.
4. He was overly excited.
5. Look at all these still images of other people in politics doing the same.
And the same people think that Trump is a Mob Boss.
For Christ sake Give Gangsters A Chance.
