Elon Musk Weighs Legal Action Against Gov. Tim Walz Over Nazi Salute Allegation

The Minnesota governor claimed Musk performed a Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration, prompting the billionaire to threaten a lawsuit.

Elon Musk is considering suing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after Walz alleged that Musk performed a Nazi salute during President Trump's inauguration celebration.
The accusation stems from Musk's gesture of placing his hand on his chest and extending his arm outward, which some critics likened to a Nazi salute.
The Anti-Defamation League and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Musk, calling the gesture awkward but not hateful, while right-wing extremists reportedly celebrated it.
Musk called Walz 'creepy' on his platform X and suggested that he might also sue media outlets like CNN and PBS for similar accusations.
Walz, who ran as Kamala Harris's running mate in the 2024 election, described the post-election period as 'pure hell' and has previously made Nazi-related comparisons about political opponents.
