Truths about Elon Musk

He's really smart.

He's said amtisemitic things.

He's a little socially awkward (not to the extreme level of doing a nazi salute and not knowing the social consequences)

He did a very intentional Nazi style salute

He is part of what is arguably one of the most pro Israel, and pro Israeli influence in Washington precidencys.

He does not advocate Nazi polices

All that simply leaves me with questions. Previous Nazis accusations implied he's as bad as a Nazis. That salute would imply card carrying Hitler loving nazi. He's not that. I also just don't buy the hand waiving of it was an accident or is just like other stills of people doing that.

Possible non exhaustive answers.

He really is THAT socially awkward

He is seeing where the line is if he shows his true colors (doesn't make sense given this administration and policy proposals)

He is signaling to Trumps base that likes that kind of stuff

He is an edgelord to the point of crass untastefulness beyond what I comprehend.

I lean onto one of the latter two explanations but am not satisfied with either.
