“Remember when I got in trouble for calling out Mr. Nazi Salute?” the comedian shared in a Tuesday (January 21) Instagram Story. “Ya no regrets.”. “I was so excited, I came in, I asked if you had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like, ‘It’s not funny.’ I waited for you to be like, ‘Ha ha, joke.’ No. Then you started pawing through my script, like flipping each page, being, like, ‘I didn’t laugh once, not one time,’” she shared in a since-deleted TikTok video.
“Seriously [straight face emoji],” Musk replied. Fineman’s recollection of their unpleasant interaction comes a day after Musk was accused of giving a “Nazi salute” during his speech at the Capitol One Arena to celebrate President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
While speaking to the crowd on Monday, the SpaceX CEO got extremely excited about the prospect of landing a man on Mars and planting an American flag. Pounding his chest, he shot his right arm in an angular motion toward the sky, saying he felt it in his “heart.” He then turned his back to the audience and repeated the gesture towards the American flag hanging over the stage.
