Here's the difference.
Musk's entire gesture matches a Nazi salute close enough that if you were making an animated documentary about WWII and needed some footage to rotoscope when animating Hitler and used the musk footage without credit no one would suspect you hand't used authentic Hitler footage.
Here's a post that shows side by side videos of Musk's gesture and several authentic Nazi salutes [1].
Nearly all of the "but Democrats did it too" or "but celebrities did it too" claims are stills showing an outstretched arm. When you find the video of the movements surrounding the arm being in that position that are nothing like Nazi salutes.
