Elon Musk as Hitler 😁

On January 20, 2025, during a rally celebrating President Donald Trump's inauguration, Elon Musk delivered a speech that included gestures resembling a Nazi salute. Musk first placed his right hand on his chest with fingers splayed, then extended his right arm upward at an angle with fingers together and palm facing down. He repeated this gesture shortly afterward.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) defines the Nazi salute as "raising an outstretched right arm with the palm down." Musk's actions have sparked controversy and debate. Some critics, including Democratic lawmaker Rep. Jerry Nadler, condemned the gesture as inappropriate and reminiscent of dark historical chapters. However, others, like the ADL and certain commentators, defended Musk, suggesting the gesture was an innocent mistake made in enthusiasm.

As of now, Elon Musk has not directly addressed the incident. The debate continues amidst differing interpretations and reactions.
