Calvin Robinson, priest-in-charge at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church, was defrocked Thursday, Jan. 29, after church leadership learned he’d made the controversial salute to a crowd at the National Pro-Life Summit on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.

A British priest who delivered an Elon Musk-inspired, straight-armed salute during his address to a pro-life gathering last week has been kicked out of his church. The Anglican Catholic Church announced Wednesday that Father Calvin Robinson is “no longer serving as a priest” in the denomination.

Musk's response to the accusations has included the complaint that the "legacy media" is trying to cancel him.

Elon Musk has vehemently pushed back against claims that he gave the salute at a rally celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,” the Anti-Defamation League wrote Monday in a statement on Musk’s own social media platform X, referring to Musk’s outstretched-arm movement that came as he was thanking his supporters.

Elon Musk has responded to allegations that he performed a Nazi salute at President Donald Trump 's inauguration, calling it a "dirty trick" by his critics. Musk addressed the controversy on his platform X (formerly Twitter) Monday night, replying to a user: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."

CNN contributor Scott Jennings condemned critics who said Elon Musk ’s straight arm salute was intended to be a Sieg Heil – but then refused to perform the gesture himself on live television.

Ingrid Jacques loudly claims the intolerant left was being mean to poor Elon Musk, whose “very enthusiastic speech” at an inauguration party included an “awkward gesture” that looked like a Nazi salute.
