Billionaire Elon Musk went viral after making a gesture that many claimed resembled a nazi salute during a rally for President Donald Trump after his inauguration Monday (January 20) afternoon.

Musk, 53, gave a speech at the Capitol One Arena to celebrate Trump taking office and got extremely excited while discussing the prospect of landing a man on Mars and planting an American flag, at which point he pounded his chest and threw his right arm in an angular motion toward the sky and claimed he felt it in his "heart" before turning his back to the audience and repeating the gesture towards the American flag hanging over the stage behind him.

“Standing ovation for Elon Musk. By far the biggest reception of the day,” said CNN anchor Erin Burnett during a live broadcast. “You saw him come out with that odd-looking salute.”

“It was odd-looking,” Burnett reiterated before the broadcast showed viewers a screenshot of the incident.
