Elon Musk calls Tim Walz ‘creepy’, hints at lawsuit over ‘Nazi salute’ remark

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has threatened legal action against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz following the governor’s claim that Musk performed a “Nazi salute.” The controversy arose from a video in which Walz stated, “Of course he did,” referring to Musk’s gesture at former U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration event. The remark quickly went viral, prompting widespread discussion on social media.

Musk responded to the video on X (formerly Twitter), calling Walz “creepy” and indicating that he intends to sue.
