I'll make it a little easier on you.

I'll even give you a headstart, the difference I can spot is that Elon had more enthusiasm about it than Hitler did.

I know you aren't actually asking in ernest, but I'm burning time until I'm off work so I'll play your game.

Open hand with fingers spread across heart vs closed fingers all touching held almost vertically at sternum.

Palm slight tilted back at the end (as the intent is to be giving out his heart) vs palm level with the ground (and sometimes angled slightly down even) at full extension.

A gap between his thumb and the rest of his fingers vs thumb against index finger with tip bent inward and under Palm slightly.

Nazi salute is done with a straight back and no torso motion. Musk leaned back as if to really throw that heart out to the people at the very back.

Then of course there is the context of the words being said by the speaker. Musk was thanking people and saying "my heart goes out to you" as he does the motion. A phrase he's used in the past, but also a phrase (and motion) used by others in the past: https://youtu.be/f6lsWl9o0-g?si=A8Bv0l0SMkQUJhEq

And before you even say anything yes walz is doing a MUCH better job of it. Very clearly keeping the elbow slightly bent and the palm facing clearly outward with fingers spread. Elon has always been an awkward guy. Hes got a strange gait and posture. He jumped around like a child behind Trump a few months back.

Did this argument work or did you get bored? Asking for a friend

So you're willing to excuse the action as a whole with that tiktok video you posted as being awkward, but that same argument cant be applied to degree in which his palm is facing?

With logic, it has to work both ways, you can't just pick the one you like most and call it a day.

Also what he said after was sloppy/obvious cleanup. Someone else said it better than I, but he didn't do this in a vacuum, his spiral into far right politics has been front and center and we've been staring at it everyday in the news.

Also I did come at you like an asshole, I shouldn't have done that.
