Tesla boss Elon Musk caused a stir on Monday with a gesture during his speech after Donald Trump’s inauguration at the Capital One Arena in Washington DC. The photos showing the American billionaire with his right arm outstretched spread across social media.
Some elections are important, like this one, said the 53-year-old, who has a key advisory position in Trump’s Cabinet. “Thanks to you, the future of civilization is secured. We will have safe cities, finally safe cities, safe borders, sensible spending, basic things,” Musk showered Trump supporters with lots of roses.
He then repeated the gesture again in a different direction. “My heart goes out to you,” he said. Many users on Musk’s online platform X noted that the gesture was reminiscent of a Hitler salute. The news channel CNN repeated the scene several times in its program. The viewers are smart enough to form their own opinions, according to a presenter.
Musk: “Return of the King”
Musk previously raved about the “return of the king” on the day of Trump’s swearing-in. Musk illustrated the post on his online platform X with two screenshots: the once blocked Trump account on Twitter and the new official presidential profile. Trump was blocked from X’s predecessor, Twitter, in January 2021 after his supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington. Musk reactivated the Trump account after purchasing Twitter in October 2022 for about $44 billion.
