The Nazi salute made infamous by Adolf Hitler is illegal in several countries, including Germany.
A Berlin judge, Kai-Uwe Herbst, told the Berliner Zeitung that a deliberate right arm thrust in the air is sufficient evidence for bringing charges against someone under German law. However, he added it would also be necessary to prove that the individual concerned knew this was a Hitler salute and that there was malicious intent.
For their part, the Anti-Defamation League won’t call Musk’s gesture a Nazi salute. They referred to it as an “awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm” on X. They added: “All sides should give one another a bit of grace.”
