Did Elon Musk Just Do A Hitler Salute?!?

Did Elon Musk Just Do A Hitler Salute?!?

Ummm, WTF did we just watch?!

It comes as a surprise to none that Donald Trump’s close pal Elon Musk was at his inauguration on Monday. We all know this dude can be… Eccentric… But this is just downright confusing. And potentially terrifying!

During his speech congratulating the 47th president, the Tesla founder thanked United States citizens who supported Trump with a vote. He told the crowd:

“This one really mattered, and I just wanted to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you.”

He then touched his hand to his chest before extending it out in a style reminiscent of one we’re all too familiar with… The infamous “Sieg heil” salute the Nazis did to Adolph Hitler. See (below):

WTF…

 

Elon has been accused of endorsing white supremacist ideas multiple times in the past, including by his own daughter. But a straight up Nazi salute? We mean… he wouldn’t! …right??

On X (Twitter), users came together in agreement over the eyebrow-raising salute. See (below):

 

Even HISTORIANS agree! Claire Aubin, who specializes on Nazism, wrote:

“My professional opinion is that you’re all right, you should believe your eyes”

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian who specializes on fascism, agreed it “was a Nazi salute — and a very belligerent one too.”

And if that wasn’t enough, a clip has resurfaced of Elon’s father Errol Musk speaking about how the tech founder’s maternal grandparents were part of the German Nazi party in Canada before moving to South Africa because of their support for the Apartheid regime:

WTF is happening?!
