Matisyahu says Elon Musk I definitely didn't do a Hitler salute Donald Trump's inauguration…he says it's just an example of Elon being a fish out of water.
The Jewish singer-songwriter, who voted for Trump in the last election, tells TMZ… Elon's controversial gesture certainly had all the elements of a Nazi salute, but the powerful arm gesture had more to do with Elon not knowing how to get under should behave in the bright lights – although he acknowledges that it seems taken out of context.
Matisyahu says musicians and artists are used to the attention and mass energy that such a large platform brings… and Elon, being a “nerd,” just didn't know how to channel that energy because he didn't is used to being on stage.
He also has a strong opinion about all the criticism Elon is getting here… telling us: “All these people who are offended by this have nothing about the teenage girls raped in Gaza and those still in Gaza hostages said. Now they are defenders of the Jews? My ass.”
Elon says the Nazi narrative is part of an “everyone is Hitler” attack by the media… and Matisyahu agrees, telling us it's time for critics to stop calling people Nazis.
For Matisyahu, Elon is the furthest thing from a Nazi…he believes Musk and Trump will defend the Jewish people from rising anti-Semitism.
Matisyahu is pretty passionate here… and he has a message for any Jews who have a problem with this Elon's gesture.
