French far-right leader Jordan Bardella canceled his planned speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) after Steve Bannon, a popular conservative podcast host and former adviser to President Donald Trump, made a hand gesture that some interpreted as a Nazi salute. This incident follows accusations against Elon Musk for a similar gesture at a Trump inauguration event. Bannon denied that his gesture was a salute, stating it was a wave to his crowd. Despite the controversy, attendees at CPAC had mixed reactions, with some dismissing it as leftist trolling. Bardella, the president of the far-right National Rally in France, has expressed support for Trump in the past but has also emphasized his independence. He has a strong following among young voters and advocates for stricter immigration policies. Musk, a tech billionaire and influential figure among conservative Trump supporters, has also faced accusations of making Nazi gestures. CPAC has been a platform for prominent conservative figures, with Musk receiving a warm reception at the event as he discussed reducing government waste. The event has become a battleground for conservative ideologies, with incidents like the gestures by Bannon and Musk sparking debates and controversy.
