Whatever you hear as an explanation for this, Musk knew how this would be seen/received and made a show of doing it.

If I suspend all possible disbelief, the best scenario is a rich white kid raised in Apartheid South Africa giving "Roman Salutes" to troll people for his own personal LOLs?

I tried, watching the video a few times. I can't believe that he didn't know what he was doing.

At best, he wants to demonstrate that he can make one of the worst gestures anyone can do in this position and suffer no consequences. Some kind of demonstration of power.

He is rich because of Tesla. Stop buying Tesla's. Then his debt collateral is gone and his loans get called in.

Not at all. Tesla, all included, is just 39% of his wealth. 175 of his 449 billions USD.

And he isn't leverage. In the end, he sold Tesla share and bought Twitter with cash, contrary to what most newspaper wrote (and never corrected).
