Musk, who used his platform X (formerly Twitter) to support Trump\u2019s campaign, attended the event in Washington, D.C., where he stirred controversy with a gesture involving a chest thump and a raised arm. The gesture followed his speech about sending humans to Mars and planting an American flag on the Red Planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CNN\u2019s Kasie Hunt described the gesture as \u201cevocative of troubling historical imagery,\u201d sparking online outrage. Critics on X accused Musk of delivering a \u201cSieg Heil,\u201d while the Anti-Defamation League defended him, stating it was \u201can awkward gesture made in enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the ADL, calling Musk\u2019s actions deliberate, while Musk dismissed her remarks, claiming she had \u201clost her marbles.\u201d Social media users debated the controversy, with some defending Musk and criticizing overuse of Nazi comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk responded to the uproar with sarcasm, calling such attacks tired and ineffective. \u201cThe \u2018everyone is Hitler\u2019 narrative is overplayed,\u201d he wrote, urging for more thoughtful discourse moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=42501\">also read&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s a condensed 180-word version: Elon Musk faced backlash after accusations of performing a &#8220;Nazi salute&#8221; during Donald Trump\u2019s second-term inauguration on January 20.
