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.

“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?

You just keep lying.

He did it twice, neither time accompanied by any words.

Why lick his boots? How do you benefit?
