Original Note:
This video shows Tim Walz tapping his chest near his heart and then waving to the crowd. This is being misrepresented as equivalent to Elon Musk’s recent gesture which has been widely recognized as a “Sieg Heil”. Musk’s gesture matched the salute infamously by the Nazis. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/elon-musk-salute-reaction-right-wing-extremists-1235241866/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_salute
