1/21/25, 9:00 AM PT -- Elon Musk has responded on his platform, X, to accusations he performed a Nazi salute, twice, in a speech after Donald Trump's inauguration yesterday.

He re-tweets a Libs of TikTok post featuring Democratic politicians with their arms up at similar angles ... Musk comments, "The legacy media is pure propaganda. You are the media now."

Elon Musk gave a speech to enthusiastic Donald Trump fans Monday, hours after the presidential inauguration ... and he made a gesture that harkened back to a dark time.

At Capital One Arena, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO strode to the podium, laughing maniacally, and thanked the cheering crowd ... and then slapped his right hand hard to his chest, and extended it out in front of him, palm down -- in what looks very suspiciously like a Nazi salute. He then repeated the same action to those seated behind him.

The provocative signal has many people online and on-air comparing the expression to the WWII-era "Sieg Heil" salute to Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler. That salute reportedly derives from an Ancient Roman Empire salute, more commonly performed with the slapped chest. Both salutes are generally associated with fascist history in Europe.

7:12 AM PT -- Justin Bieber is hopping on his Instagram to clear up the marriage concerns saying his Instagram got hacked.

Hold onto your hats, Bieber fans! Justin just unfollowed Hailey on IG, sparking major drama and leaving everyone wondering what’s going on.

JB's hit "unfollow" on Hailey, but she's still keeping her hubby on her account -- and their fans are now trying to figure out what's going on behind the scenes because only 4 days earlier the pair were on an Aspen getaway.

The couple was spotted in a great mood as they hit the ski slopes together, with their pals Kendall and Kylie Jenner joining JB on the ski lifts. So what the heck happened between the slopes and the 'gram?

Four Chilean nationals who authorities believe had a role in the December burglary of Joe Burrow's Ohio mansion were arrested earlier this month, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Court documents we obtained show the suspects were taken into custody on Jan. 10 ... after officials say they saw signs during a traffic stop in Ohio that the quartet was involved in ransacking Burrow's property back on Dec. 9.

Authorities wrote in the docs that the men -- who were "illegally in the country or overstayed their permissions" -- were in possession of an LSU shirt and Bengals ballcap that they think were taken from Burrow's place.

Billy Ray Cyrus was hit with brutal tech issues during his performance at the Liberty Ball to celebrate Trump’s inauguration -- and yeah, it was a total cringe-fest.

It all went down Monday night, and Billy was already on the struggle bus -- rocking a hoarse voice, no band, and attempting an a cappella version of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" ... yeah, the one he featured on.

It was already heading toward an epic fail, and Billy seemed to know it -- trying to hype up the crowd to sing along. But then ... dun, dun, dun -- his guitar cut out.

President Donald Trump offered his fans a unique way to experience his trials and tribulations at an inauguration party last night ... providing photo opportunities next to his mug shot and at a McDonald's drive-thru window.

At the Liberty Ball, attendees could walk up and have their mugs shot next to Trump's Georgia booking photo ... and move on to stand next to a cutout of Trump waving from a McDonald's drive-thru.

At one of several inauguration festivities held last night, many party people enthusiastically lined up, including MAGA luminary Laura Loomer, who captioned an X post, "Today was awesome."

Donald Trump celebrated becoming the 47th president deep into the night Monday — and that meant dancing to "YMCA" — only this time he put a different spin on his routine.

The newly crowned commander in chief stood onstage — brandishing a sword — along with wife Melania and VP J.D. Vance and his better half Usha at the inaugural ball in D.C.

Trump's favorite tune "YMCA" by the Village People was blaring throughout the Walter E. Washington Convention Center as he shimmied to the music — and swung the sword, which was handed to him to cut a large cake.

Jake Paul was head and shoulders above Mike Tyson in November, but their roles were reversed in their first run-in since their fight ... with El Gallo giving Iron Mike a lift during Donald Trump's wild inauguration party!!

The two boxers came face-to-face at No. 47's big bash in D.C. on Monday ... and if there was any speculation over how they felt toward each other after Paul's big victory a few months prior, their encounter was proof they were back to being buddy-buddy.

Paul and Tyson -- decked out in snazzy tuxedos -- had the whole congregation watching on as the internet superstar bent down and put the former heavyweight champ on his shoulders ... and everyone erupted in cheers when they executed the move.

Jimmy Fallon tackled one of the most talked about topics at Donald Trump's inauguration Monday — Melania's hat!

The 'Tonight Show' host stepped out onstage for his opening monologue last evening sporting a wide-brim black hat with a white stripe around it.

Funny thing was it mirrored the hat Melania was wearing at DT's swearing-in ceremony as the 47th president, which looked similar to the one donned by the McDonald's Hamburglar character.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner nailed winter chic again as their vacation in the mountains continues ... pulling off hot and fuzzy looks while stepping out in Colorado.

The sister's were photographed wrapped in fur arriving to a lunch together at Little Nell Hotel in Aspen on Monday.

Kendall wore a long fur coat with leather pants paired with boots while Kylie went with a fur coat paired with jeans and loafers.

The fur coats make total sense ... there's currently an extreme cold warning in Colorado right now with some areas experiencing wind chills as cold as -20 degrees.

There was at least one hiccup on an otherwise perfect night for Ohio State on Monday ... a golf cart carrying Ryan Day and a few star players crashed into a wall -- and the collision was so rough, a bystander had to ask if everyone was all right.

It happened just after the Buckeyes beat Notre Dame, 34-23, in the College Football Playoff National Championship ... when Day, Will Howard and Cody Simon were all getting a lift to their locker room.

Video shot by someone in the bowels of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta shows a woman tried to make a three-point turn in the cart ... but couldn't complete it -- and smashed the front end of the vehicle into a concrete wall.

We're in the depths of January, and TBH, all we wanna do is hibernate -- while still looking fabulous, of course. Luckily, the stars are showing us how to master that cozy life balance.

Peep our gallery, 'cause Stassie Karanikolaou, Saweetie, and Avani are all getting their sweat on -- and we’ve got a whole crew of other hotties rocking sweats and looking fab doing it.

Go ahead and try to guess who these babes in sweatpants are before you dive into the gallery. Go on, take a wild guess -- who’s the comfy queen kicking it with her dog?

Before this lil' kid hangin' at the beach turned into a famous performer, he was just heading to church with his two brothers, singing in the choir and admiring artists on the radio like Daddy Yankee and Héctor Lavoe ...

Deemed as the "King of Latin Trap" this swaggy dude is often seen on social media flashing a risqué selfie or two ... He also shares his love of Puerto Rico, where he was born and raised.

Need one more clue? He's set to appear in "Happy Gilmore 2" with Adam Sandler.

Forget heaping the blame on Mark Andrews, Jamal Lewis says the responsible party for the Ravens' doomed two-point conversion attempt on Sunday is whoever first called the play!!

The Baltimore legend chopped it up with TMZ Sports on Monday, some 24 hours after the Ravens lost a heartbreaking Divisional Round playoff matchup to the Bills, and he made it clear, he despised the play call that decided the game.

Lewis doesn't understand why the team opted for a sprint-out pass to Andrews -- when they could have simply turned around and gave the ball to Derrick Henry.

Travis Scott is giving back to Los Angeles communities impacted by the wildfires, pledging to donate proceeds he makes from merch sales from his new song to relief efforts ... TMZ has learned.

With thousands of families displaced, 27 lives lost, and thousands of animals affected, Travis is one of many celebs stepping up to support relief efforts.

Donald Trump is transforming everyday White House business into a spectacle worthy of an audience ... including the signing of several executive orders.

Check it out ... hours after he was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, Trump hit the stage at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., where he put pen to paper and signed off on a number of his previously announced executive orders.

While the signing of an executive order is often done in the Oval Office in front of members of the press, DT chose to shake things up on inauguration day and essentially give the POTUS paperwork the WWE treatment ... signing the documents in front of a cheering crowd of his supporters.

Paris Hilton's son has a new idol inspiring his career goals ... the little one wants to be a firefighter when he grows up following the destructive L.A. wildfires.

We caught up with the heiress and her young son, Phoenix Reum, at the Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles Monday, where she revealed her youngster is idolizing firemen these days ... so much so, he now wants to be one.

This isn't necessarily surprising, given Paris and her family were directly impacted by the recent infernos in SoCal ... with their Malibu home getting scorched to the ground earlier this month.
