Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.

“Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the “Sieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies.

“It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said.

Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out to us with concern and support. If you’d like to contribute, this fund will be used by @Caltech & JPL to support our colleagues and their families greatly impacted by the devastating fires. https://t.co/PI0nP0dk8J

[Gregory Dubos @astroptere]

So many of my colleagues lost their house in the fires. Please consider joining us in supporting the relief effort.
The Caltech/JPL disaster fund link is listed by our director below. And please keep JPLers in your thoughts for the weeks to come.
Thank you.

JPL will remain closed next week. We’re hearing that more than 150 of our colleagues have lost their house in the fire. I’m so heartbroken for everyone. 😭

JPL restera fermé la semaine prochaine. On vient d’apprendre que plus de 150 de nos collègues ont perdu leur maison. 😭

Altadena 😭

I don’t know who took this shocking picture, but it shows how close the fire got to JPL. 😱

Update on the water in Pasadena: not drinkable in the gray zone, drinkable outside the gray zone https://t.co/Yp8hW4uFR6

[Gregory Dubos @astroptere]

If you get your water from PWP like I do, it may be contaminated as a result of the fires. Follow the official info:

Mount Wilson Observatory seems ok for now.

11 months ago the Los Angeles area got a year's worth of rain and faced life-threatening flooding and mudslides now it's on fire after its driest start to a water year on record. These are the increasing extremes of a warming world.

[Gregory Dubos @astroptere]

Hoping JPL continues to be spared from the flames. 🥺

80,000 people told to evacuate.

Blazes 0% contained.

Eight months since the area has seen rain.

The scale of damage and loss is unimaginable.

Climate change is real, not “a hoax.”

Donald Trump must treat this like the existential crisis it is.

[Gregory Dubos @astroptere]

Heartbroken by the devastation from the LA fires and high winds. Grateful I haven’t had to evacuate (I’m a few blocks south of the evacuation zone for Eaton Fire), but some of my friends/ JPL coworkers had to. Hoping everyone is safe, and that their houses and JPL make it.🤞🏼

@anotherbigmike @jinksy11gm @EuropaClipper It will be in orbit around Jupiter and do multiple flybys of Europa

[Gregory Dubos @astroptere]

Elated that everything went smoothly, from lift-off to separation from Falcon Heavy, initial signal acquisition and solar array deployment!

Ravi du très bon déroulement du lancement, du décollage au déploiement des panneaux solaires !

In case you missed it: Today, NASA's largest planetary spacecraft launched on a 5.5-year, 1.8-billion mile voyage to Jupiter's moon Europa.

Next up... Mars gravity assist in March 2025!

Here are some highlights from today's @EuropaClipper launch 🚀

@AstroVicnet Super! Je filerai ça à mes parents puisqu’ils parlent pas anglais 🙂

[Gregory Dubos @astroptere]

With hurricane Milton behind us, our team is now ready for the launch of the Europa Clipper spacecraft this Monday Oct 14! 🚀
