An old image of U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reaching out to hug Senator Ed Markey has been taken out of context in posts saying it shows her giving a Nazi salute.

The Tesla founder has been condemned in Germany for the gesture he made on stage at the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

While speaking to a crowd of MAGA faithful on Monday, Elon Musk made a grunting noise, placed a hand on his heart and extended it outwards in a quick, snapping motion, palm facing down. He then repeated the motion for the people behind him.

In an Instagram story later posted to X by conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell, Kuffel captioned an image of Musk, “Dude Nazi saluted twice. TWICE. During the inauguration. You f--k with this and this man, I don’t f--k with you. Full stop.”

Elon Musk, billionaire adviser to President Donald Trump, leaned into the accusations that his Monday salute was a “Sieg heil” gesture with a series of trollish Nazi puns on X. “Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations!” Musk wrote Thursday, referring to German Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess.

Multiple "subreddits" have banned links from Elon Musk's X platform after the tech mogul flashed a gesture that critics have said resembled a Nazi salute.

There’s an easy way to say “I wasn't Sieg heiling all my pals” on the world stage. Musk isn’t saying it. Silly libs!

"No, Elon Musk did not do those salutes," New York Rep. Elise Stefanik told Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy when pressed before lawmakers at her confirmation hearing.

Musk told supporters, "And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you," before making the gesture dissected around the world.

Gov. JB Pritzker and President Trump had a fractious relationship during the president's first term, and things look to remain the same the second time around.

Once again, Democrats are falsely accusing their Republican political rivals of being Nazis and supporting Adolf Hitler.
