Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has once again come into controversy. This time the reason is an old photo of him, in which his haircut looks a bit different. This photo was taken in Miami in 2021, when Musk went to attend the Art Basel International Art Fair. In this photo, many people are drawing comparisons between Musk’s haircut and Adolf Hitler’s notorious style.
In this picture, Musk’s hair on the sides and back of his head is completely cut, while the hair on top is long and tilted to one side. Some people on social media compared it to Adolf Hitler’s look, while some compared it to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s. Some users also compared it to the style of Nazi officer Himmler.
Social media users jokingly called the style the “2016 OG MAGA Hitler Youth haircut” in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Others compared Musk’s look to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, while some described it as a “Himmler” hairstyle.
Musk’s hand gestures at Trump’s rally were also criticised
This photo has brought Musk’s recent controversies back into the limelight. A few weeks ago, Musk faced criticism for his hand gesture at a Donald Trump rally. Some people said that his gesture looked like a Nazi salute, which sparked a debate online. However, Musk rejected these allegations and said that he does not support the Nazi ideology and all this is unnecessary controversy. In an interview, he jokingly said that being a Nazi is associated with atrocities, not fashion and mannerisms.
Even after Musk’s clarification, his photo and rally video are going viral on social media. Some people are saying that this matter is being blown out of proportion, while some believe that a big person like Musk should be careful about his looks and gestures.
