After outrage over gesture
Musk makes fun of criticism with Nazi puns
Tech billionaire has already dismissed outrage at a Nazi salute-like gesture as a cheap ploy by his critics. Now he’s doing it again.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has laughed off criticism of him over a Nazi salute-like gesture. On his platform Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Göring. An example of a sentence in which he presumably replaced “yes” with the name Hess: “Don’t say Hess about Nazi accusations.” At the end he added an emoji laughing in tears. It is not the first malicious reaction to the outrage following his gesture.
The head of the human rights organization Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, wrote on Elon Musk, the Holocaust is no joke.”
Following the excitement surrounding Musk’s appearance after Trump’s inauguration, the Anti-Defamation League called for prudence in these troubled times and wrote about the entrepreneur’s gesture: “It appears that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not one Nazi salute.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Musk was being unfairly slandered and was a friend of Israel. The entrepreneur is a close advisor to the new US President Donald Trump.
