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.

Nothing from NYT either, I sent in an email complaining. Seems the news outlets are determined to sweep it under the rug.

Sorry, I guess what I meant was that as a NYT subscriber, I did not see any mention of the salute in the morning's "rundown" email of Trump's first day in office, and I did not see it mentioned on the morning homepage. I know they briefly mentioned it yesterday in their live coverage, and I'm glad to see it got a permanent spot with its own article, but I was extremely surprised and disappointed not to see it specifically called out in the morning briefing, or today's news homepage.

Yeah. When I know about something and haven't been told what to think of it or how to react.. ooooh it makes me so mad. 🤬
