Sat Mar 22 08:04:03 UTC 2025: ## Elon Musk’s Daughter Calls His Inauguration Gesture a “Nazi Salute,” Condemns Crowd Response
**NEW YORK** — Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has publicly labeled her father’s controversial gesture at Donald Trump’s inauguration a “Nazi salute,” escalating the ongoing controversy surrounding the Tesla CEO. In a candid interview with Teen Vogue, Wilson, 20, described the moment as “insane” and condemned both her father’s actions and the crowd’s response. “That crowd should be denounced,” she stated.
Wilson, who legally changed her name and disavowed her father in 2022, remains unconcerned about Musk personally but expresses frustration over the continued association with him. She recently addressed her father’s comments about her in a Jordan Peterson interview, where he claimed she had been “killed by the woke mind virus,” calling the interview a “cathartic moment.” She added that she felt compelled to speak out after facing online harassment and defamation.
Musk himself addressed the alleged Nazi salute on Joe Rogan’s podcast, denying the accusations and claiming the gesture was made with positive intent. However, his explanation has done little to quell criticism. Wilson’s statement adds another layer to the ongoing debate surrounding Musk’s political leanings and public behavior.
