Laura Ingraham defended Elon Musk after a hand gesture he made, perceived by some as a Nazi salute, drew condemnation from various Democrats and pundits. At a rally, Musk thanked supporters with a gesture that was likened to a Roman salute. Critics, including CNN's Jim Acosta and Senator Chris Murphy, condemned the gesture as emblematic of white supremacy. Ingraham, however, argued that such criticisms were exaggerated and reflective of broader frustrations among critics of Trump. Musk's previous social media interactions related to antisemitism added to the controversy surrounding his actions.
Ingraham dismissed the criticism of Musk's gesture, arguing that it was blown out of proportion and that Musk is known for his excited and spontaneous hand movements.
Musk's supporters defended his actions, claiming it was simply a lack of awareness about how his gesture could be misinterpreted as a Nazi salute.
