Elon Musk has fired back against the far-left radicals who are accusing him of giving a “Nazi salute” during a speech at the Capitol One Arena following President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.
During his speech, Musk appeared to be overcome with emotion at one point, and extended his hand out to the crowd of Trump supporters. Leftist CNN hosts then tried to imply on national television that Musk was making a Nazi salute.
“This was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization,” Musk said in the emotional, celebratory moment, adding, “There are elections that come and go… some are important, some are not… but this one really mattered. And I just want to say ‘thank you’ for making it happen. Thank you!”
He held his hand over his heart, then extended his hand outward to the crowd.
“My heart goes out to you!” he said, adding, “It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.
But liberal media and many Democrats claimed he was performing a Nazi salute and went on a bitter rampage.
Responding to all the hoopla, Musk wrote in a post on X, “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The “everyone is Hitler” attack is sooo tired 😴.”

Libs of TikTok posted photos of four Democrats all making the exact same gesture: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris.
Musk responded, “The legacy media is pure propaganda. You are the media now.”

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a nonprofit organization focused on fighting antisemitism, defended Musk, and noted in a statement that Musk was NOT making a Nazi salute. The group wrote:
“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
“In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.”
Musk responded, “Thanks guys 😂.”
Thanks guys 😂

Democrat socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sneered at the ADL: “Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity. People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.”

Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler (NY) also went on a wild rant, accusing Musk of making a Nazi salute. He wrote:
Republicans cannot claim to be the party of law and order while pardoning and commuting the sentences of individuals who brutally assaulted law enforcement officers in service of a violent insurrection.
President Trump’s decision to issue 1,500 pardons to individuals convicted for their roles in the January 6 Capitol attack is an affront to our democracy and the rule of law.
These defendants were convicted by a jury of their peers for participating in an attack that included direct assaults on law enforcement, vandalism, trespassing, and an attempt to overturn a free and fair election through the use of force.
Make no mistake: despite Trump’s efforts to whitewash the events of January 6, the crimes these individuals committed will not be forgotten or erased from the reality of his actions that day.
Instead of focusing on solutions to help everyday Americans, Trump’s first action in office is to reward his most loyal supporters with pardons for their disgraceful, unlawful attack on our democracy.
I never imagined we would see the day when what appears to be a Heil Hitler salute would be made behind the Presidential seal. This abhorrent gesture has no place in our society and belongs in the darkest chapters of human history. I urge all of my colleagues to unite in… https://t.co/WDgReK1gey
