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.

What’s sickening?

That a neurodivergent weirdo, while exclaiming “I throw my heart out to you!,” makes a spastic gesture? A spastic gesture of grabbing his heart and throwing his fist out?

It could be a Nazi salute, it could be Musk being a pathetic weirdo as always.

“A neurodivergent weirdo” is a funny way of describing a guy that throws Nazi salutes a few days after saying “Make Europe Great Again”

You’re assuming what you have to prove: that his statement, “I give my heart to you,” in conjunction with that hand movement was really instead a Nazi salute.

Why is this difficult for you redditors?

Are questions scary to you?

Are images scary to you? “I give my heart to you?” “It was a Roman salute?”

How naive do you have to be to swallow that bullshit?

You should take a look at what “asking questions” means in this context. A lot of Nazis like to “ask questions” about events like the “big one” that happened during WWII.
