Veteran actor Jon Voight has come forward to defend tech mogul Elon Musk, who has been facing criticism over a hand gesture made during President Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025.
Musk has been under the scanner after critics likened the gesture to a Nazi salute, sparking widespread debate. In a video statement, Voight praised Musk's character, stating, "I'm here to tell you about Elon Musk, a man of dignity, truth, and honour, who has done a lot for this country and the people of the USA. He is a kind soul, a gentle giant, and he loves America."
