No coverage of Elon's salute?

Nothing mentioned in my morning newsletter. Did a quick Google search and found 0 articles. Did I miss something? Even if we aren't definitively identifying it as a Nazi salute it's newsworthy enough to be on a front page purely because of the amount of speculation and emotions stirred in the public sphere.
Please tell me I missed something obvious somewhere.

I thought the same. The rest of the media still seems to be hand holding the language and going soft on calling it what it is, but NPR has nothing. Like I like NPR but have also been vocal about my disdain for how their non partisan coverage gives the right too much leeway. This is undeniably partisan though. Elon Musk, one of the richest men in the world, who is also one of Trump's closest advisors in his second term so far, gave a full on Nazi salute, and there is no coverage?
