"What's that move?" ...Why people watching the speech were embarrassed. [This is the news]

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is considered the heavyweight of Donald Trump's second administration, has been embroiled in controversy for making moves reminiscent of Nazi-style personnel at his inauguration celebrations, the Guardian reported on the 20th (local time).

Musk made a fascist-style salute during his speech ahead of Trump's appearance at a presidential inauguration celebration at Capital One Arena in Washington.

Musk made a series of moves reminiscent of a Nazi-style greeting in which he hit his chest with his right hand and then raised his hands diagonally with his fingers together as he thanked cheering Trump supporters.

In response, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which campaigns against anti-Semitism in the United States, said in a statement that Musk seemed to have made an awkward move at a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute.

However, social media users responded that Musk's Nazi-style behavior was shocking.

Musk also sparked controversy last week when he spoke with Alis Weidel, co-chair of the German far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), urging voters to vote for AfD.
