The latest attempts to smear tech tycoon Elon Musk as a Nazi sympathizer are backfiring bigly, and now Musk’s dad has gotten in on the action to defend his son.
Errol Musk joined NewsNation’s “CUOMO” to address his son’s prominent stance in the Trump administration and laughed off recent attacks from Democrats and their media allies.
As BizPac Review reported, Dems like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez quickly glommed on to footage of Elon Musk signaling to Trump-supporting audience members a gesture of heartfelt gratitude, then desperately tried to twist it, calling his arm movement a Nazi salute.
How original.
Errol Musk openly scoffed at the accusations calling it “absolute” and “complete nonsense” and slammed the “rubbish” in an interview with host Chris Cuomo.
Continuing to defend his son’s “universal” gesture Errol correctly pointed out that he’s seen plenty of photos and footage of other high-profile politicians doing the same thing.
He means like this:
The legacy media is pure propaganda.
You are the media now. https://t.co/lgkIbzcAZP

Errol Musk told Cuomo that he had twice been a candidate for parliament for the party fighting against apartheid in South Africa and also dished on his son’s split with Joe Biden.
“He started changing when Biden invited all the electric car manufacturers to the White House in 2021 but didn’t invite Tesla. Tesla built a million cars, and the other five manufacturers built about 26 and hadn’t even sold one,” Errol Musk said. “Elon couldn’t understand that. He started calling Biden a lunatic and the government ‘loony.’”
Errol added that he was “very happy” with Elon and that all his kids have “done well.”
Meanwhile, AOC is still taking it on the chin for her shameless and hypocritical gaslighting:
Performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.
Any comment @AOC? https://t.co/gsgUGt8c4g pic.twitter.com/Vs6npp8euj

Wow! AOC is clearly supporting Hitler with this gesture. No one should ever trust AOC as a reputable source of information again.

I don’t expect a sassy reply to this from AOC today. Her team will tell her to ignore it. That means you win!

So much winning!

@AOC needs to be expelled from congress today and deported. Nazi’s are not welcomed in the United States Government.

Just to be clear, @AOC is doing a HEIL HITLER salute, not once but twice, in a 4 second period. Clearly @AOC is a NAZI. There’s no doubt here.
