The Governor of Illinois fired back after Elon Musk personally insulted him on social media Wednesday.

“Nothing is more dangerous than getting between JB Pritzker and the buffet table!” Elon Musk wrote from his personal account on the X platform that he owns. X is formerly known as Twitter.

Gov. JB Pritzker responded to the message by posting an image of himself purchasing a hot dog at a famous Chicago hot dog stand – the Wieners Circle. “I salute @The WienerCircle, not Nazis.”, he wrote.

Musk’s message containing the insult also included a video clip of Pritzker at a news conference reacting to a temporary freeze on federal funding that the White House announced Tuesday. Pritzker in the clip reiterated his promise to Illinois residents that he would defend their freedom, health, and security from the Trump administration.

Musk has been criticized for gestures he made during President Donald Trump’s inaugural parade that resembled Nazi salutes.
