Original Note:
Not misleading. Following the 4chan op many white supremacists began using the sigm, particularly in sly, awkward ways as Santos does here, because the hoax gave them plausible deniability. The ADL says 'care should be taken' but does not say that it is never a hate symbol. https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/okay-hand-gesture
