At the rally after President Donald Trump's inauguration, billionaire Elon Musk repeatedly made what was considered to be gestures reminiscent of the Nazi salute. The act of raising a slanted arm to greet with the palm of the hand facing the ground by billionaire Elon Musk on 20/1 has sparked strong reactions from the public. Many people accuse this gesture of being symbolic of Nazism and fascism, according to the Guardian. After thanking the crowd for their support at the rally at Capitol One Stadium (Washington) for helping Donald Trump return to the most powerful position in the White House, billionaire Musk lightly patted his left shoulder with his right hand and then straightened his arm diagonally across his face with an open palm. The CEO of Tesla repeated this gesture several times. Historian Claire Aubin, who specializes in studying fascism in America, believes that Mr. Musk has performed a Nazi salute. Mr. Musk then posted on X that his rivals need to use "dirtier tactics" if they want to destroy his reputation. "The 'everyone is Hitler' game is really boring," Musk wrote on X. A person present at Mr. Trump's rally told AFP that he thought billionaire Musk performed that action in a mocking way. Minister of Labour and Deputy Prime Minister of Spain Yolanda Díaz announced that she has stopped using social media X after actions considered to be a fascist salute by Mr. Musk.
