Oh funny an entire video made to make his gesture seem like a nazi one. Oh wait they also have a time machine and somehow travelled back almost a year to post the video. Whack! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyPSKLy5E4&t=2735s

Love the Cody showdy
it's funny how he made that video explode in the algorithm. they were smart to quickly change the thumbnail too. I'm glad; it's an awesome showdy.
I wonder if a bunch of pro palestianian protestors started "giving their hearts" to the people of Israel, if suddenly it would have a different meaning.
To the person that made this gif: thank you for your service. You had to pour over far more footage of this nonsense than anybody should ever have to.
Pore*
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.
Playing devil's advocate, it appears Hitler doesn't usually start with an open palm on his heart, but one perpendicular to his chest.
But sometimes he just goes straight from arms down to the salute. There's some variability.
Anyway, this is splitting hairs to an obscene degree. You have to contort your brain to not see this as a Nazi salute, ignoring the context or not, and in any other time a public figure would have at least apologized for doing this if they weren't impeached/dismissed/fired.
The average MAGAt is going to really confused when they find out who runs Israel.
What if you do it outside of the Israeli embassy as your heart goes out to the hostages?
The ADL thinks that's fine.
Only if you're musk, or another right wing power player. No one else is allowed.
And only because they're marginally more likely to send as much weaponry as Israel wants, and waggle a finger less than the Dems.
If it honks like a goose and it steps like a goose, there's not too many things it could be.
But what if he's just imitating a goose with an outstretched neck?
You might be onto something. The capricious assholery of geese is well-known, and he's also got that bit spot on.
I'm afraid a lot of people will
This is perfect advice for the numerous idiots downplaying the Nazi salute

He could tattoo "NAZI" on his forehead and some people will tell you that's actually "IZVN" upside down

"Well what about that tattoo on your chest? Doesn't it say 'Die Bart, die'?"
"No! That's German for 'The Bart. The."

don't worry, he did it at work and he was fine! 
Well, at least wait until it's part of the law requiring all businesses to use it as formal greetings.
Ah, yes, the Trump salute. You raise your outstretched right arm and say "hail Trump". This is based on the ancient roman salute and nothing else.
Salve arancium, placere dimitte nobis! ...?
Haha, exactly.
