Elon Musk sparks backlash by dragging Taylor Swift into alleged Nazi salute controversy; Swifties demand legal action

Elon Musk has ignited a firestorm on social media after dragging singer Taylor Swift into the ongoing controversy surrounding his gesture at former President Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony.

The billionaire faced intense criticism after reposting tweets that seemingly compared Swift to Adolf Hitler, sparking outrage among her fans, aka Swifties.
