It appears to be his gesture for “my heart goes out to you!”

What do you guys think?
He banned Kanye from Twitter for posting a swastika. Would have been really easy to say "I support free speech, so I'll allow this guy on my platform even if he's edgy." Why would he care about the optics of that if he intends to go and do a Nazi salute on national TV? I mean, Elon is definitely weird. But he's also weird enough to say "my heart goes out to you" after doing something similar to a Nazi salute without realizing the implication.

Swastika is a symbol of peace in india. Not sure why Twitter hates indian culture.

Do you mean this?

Maybe accidental impromptu gesture that happened to resemble Nazi salute,
He 'does say "My heart goes out to you."
So he was grabbing his heart and then throwing it.

To do a proper Nazi salute, one first places his hand (not closed hand) on heart while keeping hand straight, then he extends the arm forward and this time makes sure the entire arm is straight and that hand isnt closed, and then he declares "Hail Hitler". 

His Nazi salute wasnt good because he forgot to say "Hail Hitler".

It looked very much like a Nazi salute from the heart.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but the ADL disagrees with your conclusion.

Yes, but people live in denial. These guys literally do nazi salute after Trump's victory and people think its an accident. 

They are greeting the new Fuhrer.

It was an awkward gesture. He was throwing his heart out the crowd. That was the whole point- he wasn’t even thinking about a Nazi salute.

Do you guys honestly think one of the richest men in the world would throw away his reputation like that?

Oh but lemme guess: He did it to secretly signal to Nazis while relying on the benefit of the doubt from others. Please ignore other less obvious ways one could do such a thing. Lol.

Even the ALCU (according to one of their recent tweets) knows this narrative is bullshit. Anyone who actually thinks Elon Musk is a neo-Nazi and this was a salute to Hitler is arguing in bad faith (confirmation bias) and should not be taken seriously. 

This whole case says way more about our media than it does about Elon Musk or Donald Trump.

These sorts of misunderstandings occur every so often. Yet some people will simply insist on getting the wrong idea:

Well, I mean he 'could have done the Hitler salute intentionally, but how can I tell?

Exactly lol, this doesn't make sense. The people who will criticize him for this way outnumber the Nazis. And what would the secret message even be beyond vague support?

The typical Elon Musk salute would be hand in pocket before saluting. Suggesting a handout.
