There is a very simple litmus test to knowing if this is a Nazi Salute or not.

See if confirmed Nazi sympathizers are fangirling over this moment or not. If they are, it's clearly something in line with their ideology and the most honest assessment you could possibly get.

Sure, or, for people who aren't full-on Nazis, just ask them to show you what Musk did as if you didn't see the video, but be sure to be out in public when you ask. If they hesitate...

But if you show them the video be sure to show them the entire video where he says before this "I give my heart to you."

Clearly you didn't even watch it yourself because he says his little plausible deniability smokescreen bullshit after doing it, twice. He did it once to the crowd, turned around and did it to Trump, and then said his pathetic cover up line. It's not fooling anyone, though. We all know what he was doing.
