Jon Stewart also questioned why Elon Musk gave that “awkward” salute during Donald Trump’s inauguration.

During the post-inauguration event for President Donald Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a hand gesture that many observers, including Jon Stewart, found awkwardly reminiscent of a Nazi salute.

On “The Daily Show,” Stewart humorously speculated that Musk’s gesture was an attempt to convey “my heart goes out to you,” suggesting it was an innocent mistake.

However, Stewart’s amusement turned to exasperation when Musk repeated the gesture, leading Stewart to quip, “Son of a b—h! I guess you really want the people in the back to see it.”

The Anti-Defamation League defended Musk, labeling the gesture as merely awkward.

Stewart also critiqued the presence of prominent tech executives, including Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Cook, at the event, humorously commenting on their influential control over modern communication platforms.
