Can someone, who believes this is a Nazi salute, explain to me what his motivation would be? I see what I see but I can't see it as a nazi thing unless he was intentionally sabotaging or trolling but it doesn't make sense contextually, unless I need to watch the whole damn thing to get it.
Musk has been Nazi friendly for years now. Including some pretty antisemitic shit he's boosted.
Then there were the swastikas in the SpaceX and Tesla breakrooms.
Add to that, the fact the Musk is a dumbass who only thinks he's smart... And yeah. He thought he could get away with it.

I had not heard of this.

The purpose of doing a Nazi salute so publicly, in the context of "saving civilization," does the purpose of a dog whistle but with the subtlety of an air horn. It's to send out acknowledgment to Nazis, a gesture of solidarity, that he's on their side and wants their support/approval. You would think this would be sabotaging the system if Naziism was in fact against their ideals and was bad optics. Nowadays the only excuse they need to be a Nazi is to "trigger the libs" so you'd be safe to say that nothing will come of this, people will shake their heads and wag their fingers but will still do business with him because money. So he's cashing in, he knows probably better than anyone that the Nazis have, in fact, successfully taken over the American government. Well done, Americans.
The whole damn thing is like a 4 minute speech. Might be quicker to just watch the whole damn thing here: https://youtu.be/cjr0tAafxxE
