Elon Musk has posted a message with a series of Nazi-related puns on X after backlash over a hand gesture he made during President Trump's inauguration celebration. NBC News' Yamiche Alcindor has more on the controversial message.

And, Elon Musk’s controversial arm gesture continues to divide opinions as to its meaning. Some have insisted it was a Nazi salute, while Musk has said the comparisons to Hitler were “tired” and “dirty tricks”.

In an apparent attempt to balance his threat with a compliment, Trump spoke of the need to never forget that Russia had helped the United States win World War Two and incorrectly stated that the then Soviet Union had lost 60 million people in that conflict as opposed to the 26.6 million people estimated by the Russian authorities.
