Controversy for Elon Musk's gesture, fascist greeting, in Trump's investiture

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Spacex, has been one of the special guests to take Trump’s possession. Again, he has unleashed the controversy, this time by a gesture that has been compared to the fascist greeting associated with the Nazi regime. The moment, captured by television cameras, has unleashed a wave of comments on social networks.

The incident occurred while Musk was in the goal of honor with other prominent figures of the business and political world. During his speech, the businessman has raised his arm in a movement that many interpret as Nazi greeting. Although the gesture was brief, social networks were quickly flooded with comments and captures of the moment.

Musk has maintained a close relationship with Trump, especially during the months prior to the investiture. His recent appointment as leader of the presidential panel for government efficiency, together with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, is proof of the confidence that Trump deposits in him. In addition, Musk donated almost 300 million dollars to the re -election campaign of the now president, consolidating his position as a key ally of the administration.
