On January 20th, billionaire Elon Musk sparked a heated controversy when he made a Nazi salute during Donald Trump’s inauguration as President of the United States. Now, more than a month later, he has offered an explanation.
The entrepreneur told the host that his gesture was “intended in the most positive spirit possible.” However, comedian and actor Joe Rogan responded to the billionaire, saying, “You did it with a bit of enthusiasm that probably wouldn’t be advisable in retrospect.”
Musk stated that at no point did he think the gesture would generate such a negative reaction. To address the situation, he made a wordplay with “no” and “see,” which together sound like “Nazi” in English.
In any case, the billionaire head of companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter) did not apologize for his actions.
Rogan and Musk also discussed the impact of his acquisition of Twitter, with the billionaire claiming that if he hadn’t bought the platform, his own account would have long been suspended under the previous administration.
When asked by Joe Rogan about cryptocurrencies, Elon Musk also issued a warning, urging investors not to “bet everything on a meme coin.”
