When I watched a very short clip juxtaposed next to a clip of a nazi salute, then it looked like one to me.

But when I watched it in context, it looked like a man putting a hand on his heart and then proffering his thanks to the audience.

My belief is that it was most likely not a nazi salute and is not relevant evidence in the important task of assessing Musk's political stances.

Looked like a man putting a hand on his heart and then saluting the fuhrer.

Yes, when he said the Jews were intentionally importing substandard humans into western nations to undermine the US, I didn't need hand gestures to think he's a Nazi either.

Yes this is much stronger and relevant evidence

I don't follow Musk's utterances. Is this a joke or something Musk has actually said?

I watched the whole thing live, that was a Sieg Heil snap and all, and it fits with his edgelord persona.

Your belief is incorrect

If it wasn't, though, why wouldn't he apologize and unequivocally denounce nazi-ism after it happened instead of trolling, playing gotcha games to pwn the libs and doubling down? His jokes about the Holocaust and mocking critics made it worse. He loves reckless, performative provocation and to stir the pot.

Terrible branding for Tesla of him to singlehandedly permanently alienate the majority of his customer base.

Did he joke about the holocaust? I googled and there were some jokes about nazis but I didn't see a holocaust one.
