Original Note:
The Nazi salute represented loyalty and obedience to Adolf Hitler and to Nazi ideology. Usually in addition with shouting Hail Hitler! in your native tongue. The Anti Defamation League denies that Elon made a Nazi salute, calling it an awkward gesture instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_salute https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/book/the-hitler-salute-on-the-meaning-of-a-gesture https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/hitler-salute-hand-sign https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/awkward-gesture-roman-salute-in-germany-its-meaning-is-clear/ https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5097676-elon-musk-defended-salute-criticism/ https://www.jta.org/2025/01/21/politics/how-did-the-adl-conclude-that-elon-musk-didnt-give-a-nazi-salute-it-isnt-saying
