Billionaire Elon Musk had a good time at the inauguration of the new-old American president, and one of his moves raised a lot of dust.
He was smiling the whole time, he liked what Trump was saying. He beat his chest, looked around the hall with satisfaction, he especially liked it when Donald Trump announced that he would send astronauts to Mars to plant the American flag there.
Billionaire Elon Musk had a good time at the inauguration of the new-old American president, and one of his moves raised a lot of dust. At one point, Musk performed hand gestures that reminded many of the infamous Nazi salute…
“Did you see this, this is pure Nazism”, “What’s going on, are we in Germany in 1939?!”, “I can’t believe Musk just performed a Nazi salute in front of the whole world”… The comments started immediately. on social networks. There were also those who defended Musk and accused other users of ‘imagining things’…
The profession also joined the discussion…
A clumsy gesture or a deliberate greeting?
– It was a Nazi salute, and a very aggressive one at that – says Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor of history at New York University, Time reported.
– That was a stupid hand gesture. Any person who tries to portray him as a Nazi is deliberately misinforming the public – says Eyal Yakoby from the University of Pennsylvania.
“Thank you, thank you. My heart is with you,” Musk said while repeating the hand gesture in the direction of the American flag…
And while some are calling Musk a “Sieg Heil,” the Anti-Defamation League came to his defense.
– This is a delicate moment. Many are on the edge. Elon Musk seems to have made a clumsy gesture in a moment of enthusiasm rather than a Nazi salute. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work for unity in the months and years to come – said the ADL.
But their explanation was not overly liked by the American representative in Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She immediately hit back at the ADL.
– Just to be clear, you are defending the ‘Heil Hitler’ salute that was performed and then repeated – Ocasio Cortez wrote.
‘She killed herself…’
She added that this organization had lost credibility and accused them of working “for them”. This applies to Trump and Musk…
And Musk immediately reacted to her announcement…
– She killed herself one hundred percent. Honestly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is so worn out – Musk said in two posts on Twitter, sorry Xu.
