As Elon Musk draws criticism for a gesture that has been branded a 'Nazi salute' by social media users, Ben Kentish questions: How dangerous is Elon Musk?
Musk's gesture was aimed at a crowd of Trump supporters at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. as part of celebrations following Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th President of the United States earlier today.
Musk thanked the crowd for making Trump's election win happen, and proceeded to place his right hand on his chest and raise it in the air.
Social media users immediately shared their shock at the gesture, accusing the tech billionaire of performing a 'Hitler salute'.
Elon Musk has since defended himself, stating that his opponents need 'better dirty tricks' and that the 'everyone is Hitler attack is sooo tired'.
