Addressing Trump supporters hours after the Republican was inaugurated as the 47th US president on Monday, Musk hailed the outcome of the US presidential election on November 4 as “no ordinary victory.”
“This was a fork in the road of human civilization,” Musk said at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC.
“This one really mattered. Thank you for making it happen! Thank you.”
Musk then thumped his right hand into his chest before extending his arm in an upward angle with his palm down and fingers together.
Wait, did Musk just do a Nazi salute? pic.twitter.com/VZChlQXSYv
