Elon Musk seems to make two fascist salutes at the inauguration rally

 While speaking to Trump's supporters at a crowded sports arena, Elon Musk seemed to make a gesture resembling a Nazi salute.

During his speech, Musk told the crowd, "Some elections matter more than others, and this one really mattered. I want to thank you for making it happen. Because of you, the future of civilization is secure."

If you look at the position of Musk’s palm, it looks like he might be trying to do a Nazi salute. Musk might have been joking to get attention, but he definitely seems confident, or as people might say today, Musk seems to be "high on his own supply."

What did Musk mean by saving our civilization? The owner of X has made it clear that he is not against all immigration. He wants to increase the number of H1-B visas, which let him replace highly paid American workers with immigrants on visas. Critics say these visas are like indentured servitude.

It is true that racists and far-right groups are celebrating what they see as a return to power in the U.S. now that Trump is back in office.

Trump’s inaugural speech made it clear that his administration might be the most far-right in U.S. history.

Donald Trump is being sued over Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Unions and citizen groups are calling it illegal.

Given Elon Musk’s history and some of the things he posts on social media, it would not be surprising if he embraced Nazi salutes. Musk can do all the salutes he wants, but it’s important for Americans to understand that this man will have an office in the White House, close to the President of the United States.
