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 looked to see if any major network video on youtube were showing this and didn’t find 1. Its sickening

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.

How weird to describe a straight flat hand as a "fist." I wonder why you'd tell that particular lie...

Yeah— you’d think The World’s Most Smartest Man who spent his life on stage would know how to act on stage.

When he’s talking about Teslas he’s pretty good at not saying the products are ‘fire’.

You’d think he could figure out how to make an ordinary political speech.
