They are very demonstrably not making the same movement and I strongly feel like it would take someone trying to reason backwards from a predetermined conclusion to see this

They are not "exactly" the same. There's a symbolic reason you keep your hand flat, rigid, and parallel to the arm, in a salute.

I find it hard it hard to believe anyone apart from you would see this as remotely the same thing.

Only one of the individuals in this comparison has a Wikipedia page dedicated to the event and coverage of it.

When has that happened?

When have they done that?

Also, when have they joked about it being a Nazi salute after the fact like Elon Musk did? https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1882406209187409976

>What about when Zohran Mamdani or AOC or Kamala makes the EXACT SAME MOTION?

If they did, they'd make international news for the same reason.

They did not. A freeze frame of someone waving their hand ain't remotely close to the specific "from my heart to the stars" gesture that Elon Musk did twice in a row.

Which doesn't even matter as much as his long, established history of pushing white-supremacist views, supporting white supremacist movements, and using neo-nazi dog whistles (like posting 14 flag emojis at 14:14PM EST).
