During a confirmation hearing for Rep. Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador, she clashed with Senator Chris Murphy over accusations that Elon Musk made Nazi salutes at a Trump rally. Murphy cited various reactions from political commentators and extremist groups who interpreted Musk's actions negatively. Stefanik staunchly defended Musk, asserting he did not make such gestures and emphasizing his entrepreneurial spirit as a national strength. This exchange highlights ongoing political tensions and differing perceptions of public figures in controversial contexts.
STEFANIK: 'No, Elon Musk did not do those salutes. I was not at the rally, but I can tell you I've been at many rallies with Elon Musk... They support Elon Musk.'
MURPHY: 'Let me share with you what a few Americans have said about it. Evan Kilgore, a right-wing political commentator, wrote on X... This is incredible.'
