I've seen several people try to defend it by saying that the Nazi salute doesn't start with your hand over your heart... Well this gif really clears things up.
I have a Jewish friend that is defending it saying that his arms were sideways and the Nazi salute is in front. I sent him this and he said.... Welp, I guess it's time to move.
Also, while I"m no physiotherapist, it looks like musk's shoulder mobility is hindered a bit. Maybe its the suit/shoulderpads, maybe he's just really out of shape. Which is to say that he knew that he had to get his hand up over his head to get the gesture right. It's significantly more effort than you'd do by accident.
It's probably just the suit jacket, those things do restrict your arm's vertical range of movement.
