It’s a little more ambiguous than Elon’s salute, but still pretty obvious.

At this point the number of people who've been caught doing this is vastly more important than picking apart each one frame-by-frame.
If a nazi is doing a salute that looks like a nazi salute, it's probably a nazi salute.
It would have been plausibly deniable (unlike Elon's) before Elon did it. This one, like Elon's, is a test and/or troll to see if/prove that he can do this in public and be defended for it.
Absolutely. I just meant it would be more ambiguous on its own, which is how his supporters would look at it. Half-assed snapping to attention before doing it makes it pretty clear, regardless.
You're right, it was more ambiguous, but only in context. Hard to do a more fervent nazi salute than Musk without being Hitler himself. I have a fear that conservatives are just going to start doing half-assed salutes everywhere and going "Musk isn't a nazi, you'll just call anything a nazi salute"
Rot in hell, asshole
He's being accused of it because he did it.
