We may joke about it, but the fact is that it's releasing dumb ideas like this that you sometimes get masterpieces. Maybe this one is really just one of the bad ones, but eventually Elon will have some good ones just like he already has.

And a lot of us would be better off releasing our dumb ideas too. The world has a lot of issues and if all you do is talk down and don't try to fix anything yourself. Maybe it's time to get off the web a little and do something else.

The ADL, the left-wing Jewish human rights group not aligned with Musk in the slightest, called out that Musk's gesture was merely an awkward salutation, not a Nazi seig heil[0].

The left wing Jewish human rights group isn't the arbiter of what a nazi salute is. Actual Nazis around the world took it as a nod towards their ideology, and he's desperately trying to start a civil war in the UK, so I would say it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck.
