Elon Musk’s Daughter Defends Her Father Amid Claims of ‘N**i gesture’ During Trump’s Inauguration

Vivian Wilson speaks out against Elon Musk’s ‘N**i’ accusations, defending her father after false accusations. Elon Musk stirred up controversy after his talk

During Donald Trump’s inauguration, Musk discussed the possibility of putting an American flag on Mars during his remarks at the inauguration on the stage of Capitol One Arena.Odd things happened, and Musk’s gesture was one of them.

By the end of his talk, he said: “My heart goes out to you,” he said after thanking the audience for helping to ensure Trump’s victory. Adding, “It is thanks to you that the future of civilisation is assured.”

Musk then pounded his chest before raising his right arm sharply toward the sky. Awkward gesture? Or a ‘N**i’ salute?

The Tesla tycoon then repeated the gesture once again, facing the US flag.

Musk faced backlash on social media for what he did

There was widespread disagreement and social media outrage about the billionaire’s intent.

Someone on X said: “THERE’S NO WAY ELON MUSK DID A SIEG HEIL AT TRUMP’S INAUGURATION. A ——- N**I SALUTE AS CLEAR AS DAY. WHAT IS HAPPENING.”

But he didn’t let the accusations slide

In a tweet on X describing the encounter, Musk claimed that his critics needed “better dirty tricks”.

He ended off his tweet with a pun, saying: “Bet you did n**i that coming”.

However, not everyone criticized Musk’s salute

This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on…

The Jewish Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denied Musk’s intent of a ‘fascist’ salute and regarded it as an ‘awkward gesture’.

Musk’s transgender daughter shared her thoughts on Instagram Threads

Vivian Jenna Wilson shared her insights on the incident that happened at the January 20th incident.

Then she claimed that people misunderstood her

She posted another thread, saying: “I don’t know why y’all are reacting with such vigor, I’m clearly only talking about card suits,” then added jokingly, “I mean, I have ADHD and this was CLEARLY just an accident that people happened to interpret to mean something other than just card suits.”

Vivian had history with her father since her parents’ divorce in 2008

The 20-year-old legally changed her name at 18, so she didn’t get associated with her father. She previously criticized him in public
