Elon Musk is under fire for allegedly mimicking a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration, sparking outrage and confusion among viewers on social media.
It all started when eagle-eyed viewers spotted him during a speech. In a nine-second clip, he puts a hand to his heart and then raises his arm. Some people thought it looked a bit off.
The inauguration was a star-studded event, with big names like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg in attendance. But it was Musk’s actions that caught everyone’s attention.
In the video, he seemed to do this salute twice. First, he faced the crowd, then turned his back. He was thanking the audience and the voters who supported Trump.
Afterward, he smiled and held his hand to his heart again. One user even posted, “Elon Musk gave two back to back Nazi salutes at the Trump inauguration parade.”
Commenters had a field day with it. Some were shocked, saying things like, “This needs to stop!” Others joked about how it might affect Tesla sales.
Musk is also involved in Trump’s new government initiative, aiming to cut down on bureaucracy. But with all this drama, it’s hard to see how that’ll play out.
He’s got big dreams, like colonizing Mars, and wants to make government more efficient. But with all this controversy, who knows what’s next for him?
