Perhaps it was an awkward turn of body movement done thrice on camera in the heat of the moment, but I—along with a lot of the general American public and even several European leaders—am not buying it. We all watched Musk perform what looked like a “Sieg Heil” salute, during an era of historic spikes in antisemitism, in front of a whole Capital One stadium full of people in Washington D.C.
