From Reuters:
The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks antisemitism, disagreed. "It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge," it posted on Monday. In Germany, the president of the Jewish community in Munich and Upper Bavaria, Charlotte Knobloch, described the gesture as "highly irritating". "Far more worrying are Elon Musk's political positions, his offensive interference in the German parliamentary election campaign and his support for a party whose anti-democratic aims should be under no illusions," she said in a statement.
Look if the extremely jumpy ADL doesn't call it anti-Semitic it's a real reach to call at a Nazi salute. And don't tell me they are in on the conspiracy. Most politicians know better than to hold out their arms like that, Musk clearly does not.
The ADL serves Israel and only Israel and Trump is Shahanshah in Israel. Its a thoroughly discredited organization especially over the last year.
Watch the video. Look with your own eyes. It’s a Nazi salute.
The ADL exists to peddle Zionism and conflate it with Antisemitism, and to defend Israel's interests. Do not take them serious. Listen to other Jewish voices, like the Holocaust survivors who are actively warning about the US sliding into fascism for years now. This was absolutely meant as a Hitler salute, and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous
Perhaps if it was in a vacuum but musk has openly shared Nazi propaganda on his social media site that he bought. The ADL is an organization I don't trust
In his defense I have done the Nazi salute a few times as a child. However, I never did it on national TV.
