United States - January 21, 2025 Tech tycoon Elon Musk sparked controversy on Monday on stage at a rally for President Donald Trump as he made gestures many observers likened to "Nazi salutes." Musk, in charge of cutting public spending in the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) created by Trump, was one of the guest stars at the rally held at the Capital One Arena after the inauguration. Fist-pumping his way on to the stage, the world’s richest man and SpaceX CEO called Trump’s victory a “fork in the road of human civilization.” “Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” he said before slapping his hand to his chest and raising it palm-down towards the sky.
