SUMMARY: Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) criticized Elon Musk for making what appeared to be a Heil Hitler salute during a January 20, 2025, event celebrating President Trump’s inauguration. Nadler called the gesture “abhorrent” and urged condemnation, labeling it antisemitic.

Marjorie Taylor Greene threatened PBS for its coverage.
