Elon Musk sparked confusion after a gesture during the presidential inauguration parade, which some interpreted as a Nazi salute. However, others believe it was an awkward attempt to mimic his own words. The entrepreneur clasped his right hand to his chest and threw it out to the crowd in what appeared to be a salute. The move came as he said, “My heart goes out to you.” Musk has not publicly commented on the incident.
