Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a close ally of President Donald Trump, has faced widespread accusations of making a Nazi gesture twice during a speech to a crowd of Trump supporters gathered at Washington's Capital One Arena for an indoor "Presidential Parade" on Monday, shortly after Trump's second inauguration.

Calling Elon Musk a great friend of Israel, Netanyahu, in a post on X, said that the Tesla CEO is being “falsely smeared”.

Errol Musk laughed and defended his son against allegations of making a Nazi salute, calling the accusation “absolute nonsense” and “rubbish.”
