Here is the video. People can decide for themselves but I suspect those who like him will say it's a normal salute and those who will say it's a Nazi one. I think the 1st one he does you can say it's not quite obvious enough to say, a Nazi salute tends to be straight in front of you. The 2nd one looks a lot worse though.
I haven’t been watching everything, I’m probably not as obsessed with it as you are.
I have now seen it, via a 3 second clip on X.
Difficult to make an assessment of that.
I suppose the question is, do you think Musk is a Nazi? And how have you come to that opinion?

Is he a Nazi?
Would love to see what he has done, throughout his life that would evidence that v a 3sec video.
I’ll wait…….
(Not aiming that at you Damien, I know you didn’t make such a claim)

I don't know if he is a Nazi or not and I don't care because we don't know what his thinking is.
I suspect he either did it by accident or to wind people up. He seems to like stirring things up and doing a 'sort of/maybe' Nazi salute for everyone to argue about on inauguration day seems like the kind of thing he would do.

Yes. And if it goose steps like a Nazi, yells like a Nazi and salutes like a Nazi, it’s a Nazi. Musk on the other hand does none of those things, and tbh his hand/arm gesture in that photo looks more like a Superman reference than an Aryan one. A Nazi salute is straight back, eyes front, arm sharply up and back down. I believe the heel click is optional.
In a separate interview, Errol explained how right-wing poltics were at the core of his family's history. Elon's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.
"They used to support Hitler and all that sort of stuff. But they didn't know, I don't think they knew what the Nazis were doing. But they [the grandparents] were in the German Nazi party but in Canada. And they sympathise with the Germans. "
I guess having Nazi grand parents and growing up on Apartheid South Africa has its effect ...

Re: President Trump 2.0
… having watched the video rather than just look at the still, it looks more like an ancient Roman salute than anything else. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a feature of some nerdy online game he likes playing.
One thing’s for certain, the Nazis never went in for the chest beating. Far too sensual and inefficient.

Wasn't the nazi salute based on the Roman salute, in fact iirc fascism is based on Rome and it's emperors
