Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, shared the following statement in response to Elon Musk’s outrageous behavior at a public inauguration rally today for President Trump: 

Elon Musk knows precisely what he was doing with his fascist Roman salute at today’s Trump rally – which follows his explicit embrace of far-right parties and policies. If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention. 

We know precisely where this extremist behavior leads, normalizing and emboldening avowed neo-Nazis and white supremacists who take this as a stamp of approval for their targeting of Jews, immigrants, people of color, and so many others.”
