It’s still a matter of debate whether the salute performed by Elon Musk at an Inauguration Day speech in Washington — a chest thump followed by a straight-armed gesture — was intended to evoke a Nazi salute.

Musk has denied that it was a fascist gesture. In response on his social media platform, X/ Twitter, Musk reshared a post from 2022 where he proclaimed that he would no longer vote Democrat and was waiting for the party’s “dirty tricks”.

The Anglican Catholic Church defrocked British priest Calvin Robinson after he made a gesture at the National Pro-Life Summit that critics likened to a Nazi salute.
