Elon Musk called Olaf Scholz a fool. It's a controversial gesture

— In Europe and Germany we have freedom of speech. Everyone, even a billionaire, has the right to express their opinions," said Scholz erstwhile asked about Musk's motion and added that "there is no acceptance to support far-right positions."

In response, Elon Musk called him a fool again. Billiard wrote on the X site shortly after the media quoted the Chancellor's statement: "ashamed, stupid Schitz!".

Elona Muska's motion caused a stir

Elon Musk, billionaire and close associate of U.S. president Donald Trump was 1 of the speakers on phase before the president arrived at Washington Capital 1 Arena on Monday. He thanked the supporters of the fresh president and then put his right hand to his heart — and pulled her up with 1 fast move. He then repeated this motion in a different direction. “My heart is with you,” he said.

Gest Muska was spotted by the media around the world, which interpreted him as “fascist” or “Nazi”.

Musk himself commented on platform X the confusion around his gesture. "To be honest, they request better dirty tricks," he wrote. The comparison to Adolf Hitler, according to Musk, was a “hardened catch”.

Experts disagree on whether Musk's controversial motion was indeed a Roman salute. An American historian specialising in fascism investigation estimated on platform X that it was “enough aggressive Nazi salute”. In turn historian Aaron Astor of Maryville College has a different opinion. "I frequently criticized Elon Musk for allowing his platform to be poisoned by neo-Nazis. But this motion is not a Nazi greeting. This is simply a clumsy motion of an autistic man telling the crowd that his heart beats for them," Astor stated on platform X.
