people under pressure express things with their hands. Most especially when on camera. I think this was categorized as a dominance display if I'm not mistaken

I noticed it for the first time 4 years ago, and now these elites always do it when they're making a big speech about global politics.
Every single video of Elon with Trump he's doing it, intentionally.
Are you telling me these people have normal body language? 
These are normal people?

>Hand steepling is a body language gesture where a person brings their fingertips together, forming a shape similar to a church steeple. This gesture often indicates confidence and authority, commonly used by individuals in leadership positions during conversations.

When you're talking in a high stress moment you'll start automatically doing things with your hands. When this is in a public setting as someone with media training you'll want to control your fidget to look better on camera. So you lock your fingers together and press them into each other. The more assertive way to do this is to have it raised rather than lowered. It's like I've become too worldly for the chans anymore or something. If they wanted to signal something they'd wear clothing, a ring, or a pin.

He’s just trying to keep his hands occupied so he doesn’t do something embarrassing, weird, or overtly masonic. Because he knows he’s an embarrassing sperg.

They're all versions of this one if I had to guess.  
>I'm going to make this fool do my bidding is the steeple
>This fools is doing my bidding is rubbing them together
