Tech billionaire Elon Musk slammed the "legacy media" over the weekend, alleging hypocrisy in how news outlets covered Sen. Cory Booker's (D-N.J.) recent arm gesture after he faced criticism for a similar gesture earlier this year.

Booker, while speaking at the California Democratic Convention on Saturday, placed his hand on his heart before extending his arm toward the crowd.

Videos of the moment quickly spread on social media, with some users placing it alongside a video of Musk making a similar arm gesture on Inauguration Day. Musk's gesture was widely reported last January as scrutiny grew over whether the Tesla CEO made a Nazi salute.

In a repost of screenshots comparing the news headlines that covered Musk's and Booker's gestures, Musk wrote Sunday on the social platform X, which he owns, "Legacy media lies."
