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.
