Many symbols can have different meanings to different people. They can also have no meaning at all. Perhaps Mr Musk wanted to flip the proverbial “bird” as he was expressing his anger at those trying to coerce him and made that gesture with his hands so that he could keep himself from doing so.

For scuba divers, that’s the sign between dive buddies that you’re not in distress. For those involved with satanism it’s the number of the beast. For woke joke SJWs it’s another opportunity to wail about victimhood and bloviate about their own contrived “virtuousness” when they see someone flashing that gesture. For the average Joe it’s likely just a sign that all is good (like when a waitress asks you if the food is good while you have a mouthful).
