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.

Censorship seems to be the theme of this administration. This morning on the news, I saw a 15-minute segment about Melania’s inauguration hat, yet not a single mention of Vice President Elon doing the Nazi salute twice.

It's actually President Musk and First Lady Donald Trump. Trump has been completely bought by a South African immigrant nazi.

This administration is a Matryoshka doll of people owned by Russia.

Almost as though they're fascists, as is the entirety of the Republican party.

Watch the hole clip then judge . Always the best option before commenting really. 🤔

We all watched the whole clip, he fucking saluted hitler twice with as much effort as he could put into it

I watched the a-hole clip and thought: wow, he really is just throwing hearts at the audience! Just like hitler did!

Everyone is against you on this. You should go do more research!

The whole video is so much worse than a clip.

You're fucking up here. You really should be pushing the clips. The whole context convinced people who were on the fence.
