Elon Musk’s gesture at Trump rally draws scrutiny

Elon Musk’s appearance at a Trump rally this afternoon is drawing a lot of attention online for a one-armed gesture.

He made the gesture while thanking his supporters for contributing to Trump’s victory. Musk thanked the crowd for “making it happen,” before placing his right hand over his heart and then raising the same arm in the air in front of him.

“My heart goes out to you. Thanks to you the future of civilization is assured,” he said.

Several users of X, the social platform he owns, have compared the gesture to a Nazi salute.

Musk has not commented since appearing earlier at the Capital One Arena rally.
