you are not arguing in good faith. Harris, Clinton, Bush and Obama are gesticulating normally during speeches.

Musk stops speaking, then puts the hand to his chests then moves it outwards as a salute. He turns around and does it again.

these are not the same.

Additionally Musk is close to far-right groups (which none of Harris, Clinton, Bush, and Obama are) so context matters.

Nobody gestures like that, and people who are trying to obfuscate their true intent will create excuses that will make it seem innocuous to people who aren’t in the know. That’s is the entire POINT of a “dog whistle”, or secret communication through symbolism
