I'll have to look at the full broadcast later. I don't hold Elon to a high regard but I doubt that was the intended message
Thought the same, from the screenshot it looks like he could've been waving and people take it out of context. After watching the 38sec clip I'm not so sure anymore. He does it on purpose and as an isolated move. He even repeats it.
At the very least it's very strange gesturing. I don't think you do a move like this by accident though.
It was a prepared and rehearsed speech. I don't know if he just flunked what he was trying to do due to nervousness, or is trying to gain attention. But it was pretty bad either way.
