On January 20, 2025, while speaking at a rally celebrating U.S. president Donald Trump's second inauguration, businessman and political figure Elon Musk twice made a salute interpreted by many as a Nazi or a fascist Roman salute.[a]

It was widely condemned as an intentional Nazi salute in Germany,[3][4][5] where making such gestures is illegal.[6] The Anti-Defamation League said it was not a Nazi salute,[7] but other Jewish organizations disagreed and condemned the salute.[8][9][10][11] American public opinion was divided on partisan lines as to whether it was a fascist salute.[12] Musk dismissed the accusations of Nazi sympathies, deriding them as "dirty tricks" and a "tired" attack.[13][14] Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups celebrated it as a Nazi salute.[15][16] Multiple European political parties demanded that Musk be banned from entering their countries.
