Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy, and his latest feud with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is proving to be no exception. The drama began at Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, where Musk made a hand gesture that has since sparked heated debate. While some saw it as an enthusiastic show of support, others, including Walz, interpreted it as a Nazi salute.
During an interview on MSNBC, Walz didn’t mince words, stating, “We spent three days debating whether Musk gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.” This bold accusation quickly went viral, dividing the internet into two camps: those who believed Musk’s gesture was innocent and those who saw it as something far more troubling.
Musk, never one to back down from a fight, responded on X (formerly Twitter) with a promise to sue Walz for defamation. “I think I will. Tim Walz is creepy,” Musk tweeted, setting the stage for a potential legal battle.
Experts have weighed in on the gesture, with some, like historian Claire Aubin, siding with Walz, while organizations like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) argue it was merely an awkward movement. Regardless of the interpretation, the controversy highlights the polarized nature of modern discourse, where even a simple gesture can ignite a firestorm.
As the world waits to see if Musk will follow through with his lawsuit, one thing is certain: this feud is far from over. Whether it’s a genuine legal battle or just another chapter in Musk’s unpredictable saga, it’s sure to keep us all entertained.
