Elon Musk has tried to drag Taylor Swift into his controversy after he was accused of giving a ‘Nazi salute’ during the President’s inauguration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been quite the week for the\u00a0Tesla<\/a>\u00a0CEO and\u00a0SpaceX<\/a>\u00a0founder who has found himself in the center of the spotlight in the aftermath of\u00a0Donald Trump’s<\/a>\u00a0inauguration ceremony on Monday (January 20).<\/p>\n

As Trump took his oath to office as the 47th\u00a0president<\/a>\u00a0of the United States, allegations about Musk’s behavior during the ceremony went\u00a0viral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The billionaire was slammed on social media after people said\u00a0he appeared to make a ‘Nazi salute<\/a>‘ in the Capitol One Arena, Washington, before the Inauguration Day parade.<\/p>\n

In the moment, the 53-year-old was apparently excited by the idea of sending a man to Mars with the American flag, during which the\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0owner thumped his chest and shot his arm out – not once but twice.<\/p>\n

While the Anti-Defamation League jumped to Musk’s defense, writing that it was an ‘awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm’, the tech mogul himself said critics need ‘better dirty tricks’ and that ‘the ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.’<\/p>\n

The father-of-12 also\u00a0took shots at Wikipedia co-founders<\/a>, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, after the page on Musk included an update on the incident.<\/p>\n

He also snapped back to US Congresswoman,\u00a0Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, who said his arm movement was a ‘Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity’. Musk said she had ‘lost her marbles.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some Tesla\u00a0owners have vowed to separate themselves from the company<\/a>\u00a0out of ’embarrassment’.<\/p>\n

Now, however, Musk doesn’t seem to be letting up on the matter and is now allegedly attempting to drag\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/a>\u00a0down with him.<\/p>\n

He retweeted two doctored images of the pop superstar with her right arm raised in an apparent comparison or joke that Swift has done a similar gesture that could be interpreted as a ‘Nazi salute’.<\/p>\n

One Tweet with the image had the caption: “My god. Not her too,” while the second read: “Does this mean Swifties = Hitler youth?” with an image of the Swift next to an image of Hitler.<\/p>\n

But users on\u00a0Reddit<\/a>\u00a0have slammed Musk again, claiming the picture is a screenshot of Swift blowing a kiss to crowds after a performance in\u00a0New York\u00a0<\/a>in 2014 – and that the image has been flipped to ‘the correct arm’ used by the Nazis.<\/p>\n

Fans have raced to the discussion with dozens calling on the ‘Love Story’ hitmaker to sue him.<\/p>\n

“This is the one time I’m gonna actually say this, but Swifties… This is your f****** moment to shine. Rise up on this fool! I’m sat,” another joked, “UNLEASH THEM! I want them in their most rabid form on this.”<\/p>\n

Others said Musk has an ‘obsession’ with the 35-year-old and continue to criticize him for failing to issue a full explanation beyond retweets ‘with emojis’.<\/p>\n

“Elon Musk is such a weirdo,” another wrote, “If he has no haters I’m dead.”<\/p>\n

Since the debacle, the only Tweet Musk has posted on the matter reads: “The radical leftists are really upset that they had to take time out of their busy day praising Hamas to call me a Nazi.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
