If it wasn't a nazi salute, then why won't any other right-wing politicians, commentators, or pundits do it?
They have been challenged to, and they all skirt around it.
They claim it was a different gesture, along the lines of "giving my heart to you," but then won't do the actual gesture.

It's not even close... not even close....
They won't do it because they all know what it was. They know its wrong. They know only elon would get away with it (and possibly trump) because they are the leaders of the cult.
The only other person who did it (weakly, as far as i know, and almost didn't do it) is this guy:

It was so awkward. He even had to give a little nod to himself afterwards when it didn't go down badly, as if he was sighing in relief.
It's pathetic that people try to defend it. It is obvious what it was.
