The gestures of the democratic leaders that weren't criticized by the left

Elon Musk was accused of making a Nazi salute by raising his right arm while figures on the left have made similar gestures without receiving comparable criticism.

The recent controversy surrounding Elon Musk's gesture during Donald Trump's inauguration has sparked intense debate. The magnate was accused of making a Nazi salute by raising his right arm at an angle that some interpreted as such. However, political figures on the left have made similar gestures without receiving comparable criticism.

During the event, Musk brought his right hand to his heart and then extended his arm forward with an open palm, a gesture some associated with the fascist salute.

This interpretation provoked adverse reactions on social media and among left-wing politicians. For example, Gabriel Rufián: "Don't call Elon Musk a Nazi just for saying Nazi things, supporting Nazi groups, and doing the Nazi salute."

During the Democratic National Convention,
Barack Obama and Kamala Harris were photographed with their arms raised in a salute. Without this generating any controversy.

This disparity in reactions raises questions about consistency in political criticism.
While Musk's gesture was quickly condemned, similar actions by figures on the left didn't elicit the same level of scrutiny. This difference suggests a possible double standard in how symbolic gestures are judged based on the individual's political affiliation.

Elon Musk, meanwhile, has replied to the accusations forcefully. In statements reported by various media, he claimed that his critics "need better dirty tricks" and dismissed the accusations, noting that "the attack of 'everyone is Hitler' is worn out."
