For context, it's a very clear Nazi Salute — and Musk did it more than once. The NYT is implying doubt because they're afraid of losing access if they speak the truth and because some people who are financially dependent on Musk are denying what it was in public.

There's so speculation needed, unless you are a fucking retard; he did a Nazi salute. Twice. Fuck him.

Confirmed. You have to be a literal retard to think it was anything else other than a blatant sieg heil.

He did it exactly like Nazis did it too.

Start at chest and then fully extend. Once to the crowd. Then turn around and once to the Fuhrer/flag.
