Many Reddit users are boycotting the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, after Elon Musk twice made a gesture during US President Donald Trump’s inaugural celebration that drew comparisons to the Nazi salute.

Musk, the billionaire owner of the social media platform, was speaking at a celebratory rally after Trump’s installment as the 47th president Monday when he grunted, placed his hand over his heart and lifted his arm with the palm facing down in a hail to the audience.
