Donald Trump has become the new President of America. He took the oath of President on Monday in a grand ceremony. Many leaders, businessmen and tech giants from around the world attended Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. The person on whom everyone’s eyes were during this time was Elon Musk. Elon Musk was seen in full enthusiasm during Trump’s oath. When Elon Musk was on the stage, he raised his hand on his chest and waved it in the air with full enthusiasm. Seeing his style, the people present there also got excited and were seen clapping. There is now an uproar over Musk’s style shown at Trump’s rally.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA
The media is misleading you. Elon Musk never did a Nazi salute. Watch the full video: He simply gestured and said, “Thank you, my heart goes out to you.” pic.twitter.com/e3vBaLoVqx

Musk’s hand waving compared to Nazi salute
This video of Elon Musk has now gone viral in the world of social media. However, social media users are comparing his style with Nazi salute. After his speech, he also posted a video clip of parts of his speech on his social media platform X and wrote, “The future is very exciting.” One user on X wrote, “Musk did two Nazi salutes in a row at Trump’s inauguration parade.”
This is what victory feels like, and it was no ordinary victory. You know, elections keep coming and going. Some elections are special. This election really matters and I just want to say thank you for it.
Elon Musk just last year traveled with Ben Shapiro to Auschwitz and then Israel to learn about the Holocaust and Jewish history.
Anyone trying to portray him as a Nazi is intentionally misleading the public. It was a stupid hand gesture, not an intentional Nazi salute. pic.twitter.com/rUOZ0HWHNR

What did social media users say?
Only last year, Elon Musk went to Auschwitz and then to Israel to learn about the Holocaust and Jewish history. Anyone trying to call him a Nazi is actually deliberately misleading the public. This was foolish. More than one million people were killed in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, built by Nazi Germany after occupying Poland in World War II. A user also posted pictures of former US President Obama and Hillary Clinton, who ran unsuccessfully against Trump in 2016, and making similar gestures.
I can’t take some of you people seriously anymore. I swear, some of you are just looking for negativity in everything. 🤣 Elon Musk, who has Asperger’s and is on the autism spectrum, was simply excited and being goofy—yet some are claiming he did a Nazi salute. If that’s the… pic.twitter.com/S3z0svALgN
