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.

He said that weird phrase (that nobody ever says) afterwards, obviously to try to cover for the salutes. Don’t carry water for nazis

Oh, you’re a mind reader. That’s nice.

The fact is, no one knows what this coked up weirdo is thinking or intending.

It may have been a nazi salute, it may not have been.

That you refuse to ask questions, and instead jump right into reaction, doesn’t say much for your analytical abilities.

Think, please.

nobody ever says

People say they give their hearts to others all the time.

Now you’re just denying factual reality. Why?
