Elon Musk’s controversial gesture, which some interpreted as a Nazi-style salute, drew criticism from Trump’s political opponents and energized fans on the far-right.

After telling the audience "thank you" for reelecting Trump, Musk forcefully extended his right arm fully into the air with an outstretched straight hand while making a grunting noise. He then turned around and repeated the gesture before touching his chest and telling the crowd, "My heart goes out to you."
