Yes it's the correct take. The added context is that there's a bunch of semi-ironic, edgy Neo-Nazis / White Nationalists online to whom Elon is definitely trying to appeal, having lost a lot of their trust with the H1B visa kerfuffle a few weeks ago. That crowd trades in these quiet-but-loud, dog whistle symbols & gestures all the time, because they don't want to fully publicise their views. Elon was imitating and pandering to them. He probably thinks he's funny but he's so lame. The hardcore White Nationalists hate him anyway and just see him as a useful idiot.

The whole point is that they express themselves at the moment no matter what, so the "He's autistic" defense is actually worst cause that mean that Elon really REALLY wanted to do a nazi salute twice, so it wasn't an accident nor he didn't know what he was doing. He KNEW EXACTLY what he was doing and the reaction he would generate, just didn't care.

German journalist on Elon Musk: ‘A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute’ “The gesture speaks for itself; it’s documented on video. Those who want to see something else in it, who don’t want to see a Hitler salute, do so at their own risk,” Jacobsen wrote. “At its very core, this is about attention - society’s most contested currency, at a time where every image, video, and soundbite vies to be noticed every second of the day. Trump and Musk excel at this game, especially in turning even bad publicity to their advantage. Case in point.”

Hi, Austrian here... yes it was definitely a Nazi Salute. and I dont get why anybody could fall for the "my heart goes out to you" excuse. first of all, as Emma put it correctly, he said these words after the 2 salutes. and I think very intentionally to make it more ambigious. second of all, imgagine someone hits his chest hard beofre showing you the middle finger and then saying "you are the only one in my heart"... so I would argue that the gesture means still "fuck off" and not "I love you.
