Elon Musk’s use of an arm gesture that distinctly resembled a Roman salute, a greeting arguably best known for its use among members of the Nazi Party, generated confusion and concern as the billionaire tech entrepreneur delivered remarks at an inaugural celebration at Capital One Arena in Washington.

CNN contributor Scott Jennings condemned critics who said Elon Musk ’s straight arm salute was intended to be a Sieg Heil – but then refused to perform the gesture himself on live television.

Even though Elon Musk's Nazi salute last week is on video for all to see, CNN's Scott Jennings tried to defend his gesture - associated with Adolf Hitler and white supremacy - as a normal greeting. "This salute trutherism is outrageous.

“It’d like to report a homicide,” Congressman Eric Swalwell wrote on X. “ (Catherine Rampell) completely destroys (Scott Jennings). “On Holocaust Remembrance Day, Scott defends the Hitler salute. Doesn’t end well for him.”

Scott Jennings and journalist Catherine Rampell were at each other's throats on Monday, with both disagreeing over Elon Musk's controversial gesture.

Catherine Rampell tried to goad the GOP pundit into mimicking Musk's Nazi-like gesture to prove it was harmless.

Elon Musk is mulling legal action against “creepy” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for suggesting he performed the Nazi salute during his speech after Trump’s inauguration.
