Details: The US President Donald Trump’s inauguration party was held at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., on 20 January. During the event, Elon Musk, while giving a speech to supporters, said that this “victory changes the course of human civilisation”.
Quote Musk: “‘And this was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilisation. You know, there are elections that come and go. Some elections are, you know, important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered. And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you.’”

Musk himself has yet to comment on his actions.
Background:
- US President Donald Trump announced on 12 November that billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which, despite its name, is not a federal agency.
- Musk publicly expressed support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the parliamentary elections approach and stated that only they “can save Germany”.
- Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain, sharply criticised Musk and his supporters for “openly attacking our institutions, inciting hatred and openly calling for people to support the heirs of nazism”.
