After telling the audience "thank you" for reelecting Trump, Musk forcefully extended his right arm fully into the air with an outstretched straight hand while making a grunting noise. He then turned around and repeated the gesture before touching his chest and telling the crowd, "My heart goes out to you."

Right-wing extremists are celebrating Elon Musk’s straight-arm gesture during a speech Monday, although his intention wasn't totally clear and some hate watchdogs are saying not to read too much into it.

Musk told supporters, "And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you," before making the gesture dissected around the world.
