Elon Musk apparently makes a Nazi gesture at Trump event

On By Littum

American billionaire Elon Musk appeared to do a Heil Hitler salute at the Trump parade in Washington DC on Monday after Trump’s inauguration.

Musk was seen making the gesture a total of three times on live television.

He then appeared on stage at the Capital One Area in front of 20,000 Trump supporters, thanking supporters before making the gesture.

Social media users reacted with horror, with one writing: “Remember when Democrats called MAGA meetings “Nazi meetings?” President-elect Elon Musk just did the Nazi Sieg Heil salute.”

Mars space travel

The Tesla and Space X owner seemed excited by Trump’s mention of Mars in his inaugural address, as he has reportedly urged NASA to drop its plans to return to the moon and go straight to Mars, according to Politico.

President Donald Trump said the United States would send astronauts to plant the “stars and stripes” on Mars.

“We’re taking DOGE to Mars!” said Musk in his speech, “Can you imagine how amazing it will be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time! How inspiring would that be?!”
