Hitler Confirms Elon Musk Did Not Do The ‘Hitler Salute’, He Was Waving Biden Goodbye

BERLIN, GERMANY — Adolf Hitler has come forward to clear up the fresh controversy surrounding Elon Musk at Trump’s Inauguration. The Führer declared that Musk was not performing a Nazi salute in a widely circulated video but was instead giving a friendly wave to President Joe Biden in a way to express good riddance.

"Nein, nein, nein!” shouted Hitler. “That is not how you do ze salute," shaking his head in disbelief. "You must stand straighter, like so! Elon's posture was all wrong; he looked like he was waving Biden goodbye, not saluting the Führer!"

Mainstream media outlets were quick to jump on the bandwagon, accusing Musk of making a Nazi salute. However, Hitler was quick to mock this interpretation. "Ah, the media! They see a raised hand and think immediately of me! What about all those times Obama or Hillary did something that could be seen as a salute? But no, they get a pass, ja? If they are so keen on finding Nazis, why not look at how many times a Democrat accidentally raises their arm during a speech? It is almost as if they are all practicing for the next Führer!"

Hitler didn't spare his critique of Musk either. "Elon, if you are going to wave, make it clear! No one should confuse your goodbye with my salute. And for the record, I would never approve of such sloppy arm movements."

At publishing time, CNN has confirmed through their fact-checkers that Elon has indeed officially joined the Nazi party.
