Look, I'm not a Musk apologist. He's fucking scum, and the nazi salute is absolutely clear-cut. Fuck him.
But let's compare here. He said
It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured
The 14 words are
We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children
Sort of kinda similar. A future being secured/assured. Eh, it's maybe intentional, I'm not outright denying it, but I just don't feel it's nearly as clear-cut. Using a phrase about the future in this context is pretty natural.
