Elon Musk's gesture during a speech sparked controversy as it appeared similar to a Nazi salute, leading to mixed interpretations among audiences. Critics, including the Anti-Defamation League, urged caution in interpreting the act. While some right-wing extremists claimed Musk's gesture affirmed their beliefs, experts suggested it was likely a misread. Musk has not clarified his intentions, further igniting speculation. Observers emphasize the need to understand the broader context of his actions rather than jumping to conclusions about intent.
