This was a nazi salute, or at least a reference to it, you can obviously see it. However, and this is where it becomes slightly problematic...
Is it enough of a nazi salute to not work in their favor? We can easily compare Elons salute with a nazi one, just show it side by side with an actual one. But this one is obviously (you can see it on his face) meant to reference it, but it is not as explicit. The problem is that when it is called out, it is just another case of "the woke left screaming that everyone that disagrees with them is a nazi".
I have no idea how we should handle shit like this.
It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France's far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.
