Elon Musk’s recent gesture at Trump’s inauguration has drawn criticism, with some viewers labeling it a Nazi salute, igniting a heated online debate.
Washington DC: So, Elon Musk made a bit of a splash during Trump’s inauguration. He was giving a speech, and some folks thought his gesture looked like a Nazi salute. Yikes!
He was there supporting Trump, talking about his vision for America. Musk even got excited about sending astronauts to Mars. But then, he raised his hand above his heart and quickly lifted it toward the crowd. That’s when things got weird.
People on social media jumped on it. A clip of the moment went viral, racking up over 756,000 views. Some users were like, “Did he just do a Hitler salute?” Others were shocked, saying, “Holy s**t, he did that on TV!”
It’s wild how quickly things can blow up online. Many clips shared didn’t show the full context of his speech, which didn’t mention anything hateful. Some defended him, saying he’s just socially awkward.
But Musk has had his share of controversies lately. Since he bought Twitter, some pro-Nazi accounts have gained traction, which has raised eyebrows. It’s a tough spot for him.
Despite the backlash, Musk was all smiles talking about Mars. He’s been dreaming of colonizing the Red Planet for ages. He even predicted we’d have people on Mars by 2026. Let’s see if that happens!
