I’ve seen several people try to defend it by saying that the Nazi salute doesn’t start with your hand over your heart… Well this gif really clears things up.
I have a Jewish friend that is defending it saying that his arms were sideways and the Nazi salute is in front. I sent him this and he said… Welp, I guess it’s time to move.
Also, while I"m no physiotherapist, it looks like musk’s shoulder mobility is hindered a bit. Maybe its the suit/shoulderpads, maybe he’s just really out of shape. Which is to say that he knew that he had to get his hand up over his head to get the gesture right. It’s significantly more effort than you’d do by accident.
Playing devil’s advocate, it appears Hitler doesn’t usually start with an open palm on his heart, but one perpendicular to his chest.
But sometimes he just goes straight from arms down to the salute. There’s some variability.
Anyway, this is splitting hairs to an obscene degree. You have to contort your brain to not see this as a Nazi salute, ignoring the context or not, and in any other time a public figure would have at least apologized for doing this if they weren’t impeached/dismissed/fired.

It’s probably just the suit jacket, those things do restrict your arm’s vertical range of movement.
To the person that made this gif: thank you for your service. You had to pour over far more footage of this nonsense than anybody should ever have to.

Thank you.

Why do these behind Hitler do something very different in response?
And really, I doubt Elon has studied the “proper” way to seig heil.
