I don't understand. He literally does this twice on tv, but he wants it removed from social media?

On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.
That and he definetely wasn't expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

  Nope. I saw it live on TV and there was absolutely zero confusion of what it was.
  Anyone who thinks differently is dumb as hell.
  It was a nazi salute.

  FUCKING HOW?
  
  Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life's real problems.
  
  Money, private security, and little human shields can too.
  
  FUCKING HOW?
  He's a fucking idiot that's convinced he's smarter than everyone else.
  
  And is on Ketamine and probably cocaine.
  
  Honestly? I think he was on cocaine or something at that moment, sure looked like it.
  
  It's rumored to be ketamine. As in, he loves the stuff.
  
  Asperger's likely plays a big part here.
  
  My friend has been on his meds for years and doesn't act like this at all. He acted like this pre meds but he was 10, so, maybe, unmedicated?
  
  He is of the special kind of dumb that comes from obscenely rich backgrounds
  
  He was testing the waters And to know his "limit". Now that we know there are people denying what it was and defending him, he can push it further, rally his/trumps base, create distractions and continue the grift while planting seeds of racism and violence among the communities. distraction mostly, but he's a piece of shit human.
  
  He thinks he's a god. Only thing I can think
  
  Most likely Musk was testing the waters, but there's also a high probability that he's just plain stupid, after all, this is the same guy who pretended to be the best PoE2 player by paying others to play the game for him, only to then accidentally expose his own lie on a live stream.
  Regardless of his reasons for making the gesture at that moment, taking into account his family history and the parties and people he supports, that gesture was without a shadow of a doubt a Nazi salute whose ideology he admires.
  
  It's pretty well-known (as he admitted on SNL in 2021) that Elon Musk has Asperger's Syndrome. This is evident in his inability to understand social cues and appropriate communication, his hardwired complete lack of empathy, and his strange and overpowering obsession with the letter X. He probably thinks he's being edgy or hilarious without understanding that there are social consequences for those things that he does not have the ability to comprehend in the moment. Even scarier, actually, if you look into the history of the man the condition was named for (Hans Asperger) and some of the things he was into... you know, like generic purity and being a Nazi.
  
  I also have Asperger's syndrome, it's just the old name given to the condition of those who presented autism with the mildest symptoms of the spectrum, it doesn't take away my ability to know the meaning of a Nazi salute and what doing it represents, so I see no reason to excuse him because of that.
