Multiple communities on Reddit have banned links from Elon Musk’s X platform after the tech mogul flashed a gesture that resembled a Nazi salute during an inauguration event.

Musk has vehemently denied that his gesture of placing his hand on his heart and quickly extending his arm was a Nazi salute, later mocking those who criticized him. Many defended the tech mogul, pointing to how he was celebrating President Donald Trump’s supporters in the crowd or arguing he just had an awkward moment. The criticism has persisted, however, carrying over to Reddit.
