Elon Musk’s recent speech at Trump’s inauguration has fans divided, with some accusing him of making a Hitler salute during the event
Washington D.C.: So, Elon Musk just gave a speech at Donald Trump’s inauguration, and boy, did it stir up some drama. People are saying he made a gesture that looked a lot like the infamous Hitler salute. Yikes!
When he hit the podium at the Capitol One arena, he raised his hand flat into the air, and that’s when folks started to react. Some were quick to jump on social media, claiming he was throwing up a Nazi salute.
But here’s the thing: many who were there felt it was just a moment of excitement, not some intentional nod to Hitler. The whole “Hitler salute” thing is pretty loaded, and it’s tough to see that in a festive atmosphere.
For a bit of context, the “Hitler salute” is tied to the Nazi Party and was often accompanied by a straight-armed gesture. It’s a serious symbol, and people are understandably sensitive about it.
On social media, reactions were all over the place. One person said, “Elon Musk casually doing a Hitler salute in front of millions. alright.” Others were more outraged, calling it disgusting and saying the crowd cheering was disgraceful.
But not everyone was on the attack. Some defended Musk, saying the gesture had nothing to do with Hitler. One user even slammed the media for making it seem like he was giving a salute to the dictator.
