That doesn't seem like a denial from Musk, but instead he's just accusing others, but the article doesn't include specific quotes. From what I remember of the incident, he specifically didn't deny that they were Nazi salutes, but merely hinted that they may have been a Roman salute, though that's pretty much the same thing. I can't recall any time that he's tried to distance himself from Nazis or their ideology. Although the ADL didn't think that it was a Nazi salute, most other Jewish organisations thought that it was and Germany very much condemned it, so on balance reasonable people should conclude that it's generally thought of as a Nazi salute. Also, former ADL national director Abraham Foxman described the gesture as a "Heil Hitler Nazi salute". Reasonable people can simply watch the video and see for themselves - it very much looked exactly like a Nazi salute to me.
