Musk’s gesture has received mixed reactions from politicians and academics, with some likening it to a Nazi salute and others saying it was an accidental action made in the heat of his victory speech.

Another potential rebellion is brewing at Reddit after Trump’s tech bro in chief’s antics at Monday’s inauguration.

"No, Elon Musk did not do those salutes," New York Rep. Elise Stefanik told Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy when pressed before lawmakers at her confirmation hearing.

The Nazi-like salute from Musk during a Trump inauguration event sparks multiple subreddits on Reddit to consider blocking links to X/Twitter.

Grimes has said she’s “happy to denounce Nazi -ism” after her former partner Elon Musk was accused of giving a “Nazi salute” during an inauguration celebration for Donald Trump.

Elon Musk appeared to make a fascist gesture during Donald Trump's inauguration, performing what looked almost exactly like a Nazi salute.

Taking aim at Wikipedia co-founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, Musk argued that the site had become an extension of left-wing media or the “legacy media”, a term that has been adopted as a derogatory way to refer to traditional media sources by the MAGA movement.

“It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,” the Anti-Defamation League wrote Monday in a statement on Musk’s own social media platform X, referring to Musk’s outstretched-arm movement that came as he was thanking his supporters.

Dozens of popular subreddits are banning links to X after Elon Musk made a gesture that historians and human rights groups have described as a Nazi salute. Communities that have instituted a ban on links to X include r/formula1, r/military, r/nursing, r/TwoXChromosomes, and r/nintendo.
