Calvin Robinson, a right-wing priest, was defrocked by the Anglican Catholic Church after mimicking Elon Musk's one-armed salute at a pro-life convention, which many compared to the Nazi salute. Musk, who faced criticism for his gesture, claimed it was misinterpreted and defended himself against accusations of fascism. Robinson asserted his gesture was intended as a light-hearted joke, misinterpreted by what he called "hysterical liberals," and insisted he did not support any offensive ideologies. His revocation of ministerial license underscores the tension surrounding political gestures in religious contexts.
