For quite some time, talk about Elon Musk has been on the rise, especially ever since the 2024 election. A lot of celebrities at the time of the election made their sides clear, whether they wanted Kamala or Trump. But no one was or is as open and loud about their opinion as Elon Musk is.
Musk, owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formally known as twitter) is a multi-billionaire, someone with a net-worth worth more money than the average person can ever even dream of. And of course, with such money comes power, and connections. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when we see Musk and Trump as buddies…right?
Well, for some it might come as a surprise, sometimes the most normal of friendships can look suspicious if looked at in the wrong time. And right now, might be one of those wrong times. For one in just the few weeks that Trump has been in office, musk has caused quite the commotion.
One of the biggest commotions to be Musk’s speech after Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday January 20, 2025. After the process of getting Trump into office and having him sworn in, Musk was introduced to make a speech. And as Trump’s number one fan, how could he refuse?
Musk starts off the speech, running and cheering through the stage, hyping up the already loud crowd. His first words to the public were, “This! This is what Victory feels like!” Sounds a lot like someone who is just so over the moon about winning the election…except for the fact that Musk wasn’t the one who won, it was Trump.
Now, it is totally normal to be excited when the person you voted for was the one to win, but to get so excited that you, a 53-year-old man, are ready to start leaping on the stage. Well it seems, just a little too suspicious.
People get excited over a lot of things, sports being one of the biggest. And a person who wished for the eagles to win the Superbowl would be ecstatic to see their team actually win, but someone else, someone who bet money on the Superbowl outcomes, and won the bet would seem much happier wouldn’t they?
Which brings the question, what is that Musk has bet during this year’s election? It could be money, it could be investments, it could even be one of his many companies. But even with money, or even a whole company on the line, Musk still has more than enough funds to last him a good while.
So again, the question rises, what is that Musk could have put on the line for the election of 2024?
Barely within the first minute of Elon Musk’s speech at the inauguration, he goes on to say these words, “There are elections that come and go, some that are important, some that are not. But this one, this one REALLY mattered”.
Those are some very perspective words, to say the least, coming from a person like Elon Musk, a man who has been and is a very media trained celebrity. And again, for someone so highly trained in media, Musk only goes on to make all of the wrong choices.
He goes on to thank the crowd, and then with a very aggressive look on his face puts his right hand on his heart with quite the force and then extends that same hand up and towards the crowd. Quite the gesture to say the least.
To say it plain and simple, Elon Musk did the Nazi salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. And to make it worse, Elon Musk proceeded to repeat this same shameful gesture a second time with his back to the crowd.
Now this gesture can and has been interpreted differently than how it was stated just before, but does that make this or the other statements wrong? No. Although it does give you a very complex thing to think about and a lot to consider when it comes to looking for signs. Signs that have been seen before and that have been known to lead to nothing but disaster in our history.
