Jesus man, your brain is so cooked! I didn't, at any point, talk about race. And I agree that race is a meaningless social construct. The only reason you're raising it is that you looked at my profile picture and saw a black guy. So maybe you're the one with a race problem?

As for the whole, "my heart goes out to you" thing, this is the dumbest cope I can imagine. If I stick my middle finger in your face, and then say! "My fingers work for you," would you accept that I was trying to be nice? Are there some gestures that carry obvious social significance? Would you expect, at the very least, that I clarified what I mean after the fact and apologised for the confusion?

Musk did two Nazi salutes before adding this plausible deniability for the gullible. Just two years ago, he miraculously managed to do a "my heart goes out to you" gesture that didn't look identical to a Nazi salute (https://x.com/nafo_hungary/status/1882777463530422434?s=46&t=7lwufDtctGAZKmHgPuw7Vw). As I say in the article, maybe ask yourself why you're so desperate to defend this. And what you'd have to see before even you weren't tempted to deny the evidence of your own eyes.
