Musk clapped his right hand onto his heart and then thrusted his arm straight outward at an angle with his palm facing down.

Summary

Elon Musk is considering suing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after Walz accused him of performing a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration.

Musk’s gesture, where he placed his hand on his heart before extending his arm outward, sparked controversy due to its resemblance to historical fascist salutes.

The Anti-Defamation League deemed it an “awkward gesture” rather than a Nazi salute but acknowledged public concern.

Musk, who owns X (formerly Twitter), responded to calls for legal action by saying, “I think I will.”

    considering suing

    “I think I will.”

    Dude absolutely will not. 0% chance he wants a legal judgement based off what people think of an obvious Nazi salute.

    Just a rich baby piss boy talking and nothing more.

        This is in no way a new plan. The right wing has been weaponizing the legal system for decades.
