My Heart Goes Out to You
Since President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, when Elon Musk acknowledged the audience by twice extending his arm upward from his chest and stating, “My heart goes out to you.” Antisemites and neo-Nazis interpreted the gesture as a Hitler salute, and embraced the phrase as a coded way to signal their shared bigoted beliefs, often using it alongside overt antisemitic content. However, the phrase remains a common and earnest expression, meaning that context must be considered before its use is labeled hateful in nature.
