Musk raises controversy with gesture resembing Nazi salute - BBC Africa
Elon Musk's appearance at a Donald Trump rally after the inauguration has generated online attention due to an one-armed gesture by the tech billionaire that several social media users said resembled the traditional Nazi salute. Musk made the gesture while thanking supporters for ''making it happen'', refering to Trump's victory. Then, he placed his right hand over his heart and thrusted the same arm out into air straight ahead of him with his palm down. Musk has since responded, posting on his social media site X: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."
