Debate continues to swirl around whether Elon Musk intentionally appeared to make a Nazi salute during Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, and Seth Meyers has officially decided to give the billionaire the benefit of the doubt, joking that it happens to everyone.

In case you missed it, Musk saluted the crowd at the end of his speech on Monday by putting his right hand to his chest and then forcefully — to the point of grunting with exertion — extending his arm straight out, palm down, fingers straight.

The moment immediately went viral, given how closely it resembles the salute that Nazis would use with Adolf Hitler at rallies.
