Elon Musk’s gesture at Trump’s inauguration has drawn criticism, with some viewers labeling it a Nazi salute, igniting a social media frenzy.
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 a lot like a Nazi salute. Yikes!
He was there supporting Trump, talking about his vision for America and all that jazz. But when he raised his hand above his heart and waved it at the crowd, people started to react. It was a bit awkward, to say the least.
He said something like, “Elections come and go, but this one really mattered.” Then, boom, the gesture happened. A clip of it went viral, and people were quick to jump on it, calling it a salute reminiscent of Hitler. Not exactly the best look!
Some users on social media were pretty harsh, with one saying, “Did Elon Musk just do a Hitler salute?” Others were just as shocked, saying things like, “Holy s**t, he just 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 people even defended him, saying he’s just socially awkward.
But it’s not the first time Musk has faced backlash. Since he took over Twitter, some pro-Nazi accounts have gained traction, which has raised eyebrows. It’s a tricky situation for sure.
Despite the drama, Musk was pretty excited about Trump’s plans to send astronauts to Mars. He’s been dreaming about colonizing Mars for ages, and he’s convinced it’s going to happen sooner rather than later.
He’s made some bold predictions about humans landing on Mars, saying it could happen as early as 2026. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll all be living on the Red Planet!
