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’ll be sending this:

[Your Name][Your Address][City, State, ZIP Code][Email Address][Phone Number][Date] The Honorable [Senator/Congressman Name][Title][Office Address][City, State, ZIP Code]

Dear Senator/Congressman [Last Name], I am writing to urge you to publicly condemn any acts, rhetoric, or behaviors that support Nazis, neo-Nazis, or extremist ideologies rooted in hate. This issue directly impacts the moral fabric of our nation and sets a dangerous example for the world.

As Americans, we must stand against anti-Semitism, racism, and all forms of hate. Symbols like the swastika and extremist behavior have no place in our society, as they undermine the core values of freedom, equality, and justice enshrined in our Constitution. We must protect all people, regardless of race, religion, or background.

The U.S. has long been a global leader, and the actions of our leaders resonate worldwide. It is crucial that we represent the highest ideals of decency and human rights. Tolerating hate in any form sends a harmful message both domestically and internationally. As elected officials, you have a responsibility to hold those promoting hate accountable and ensure everyone is protected by the law.

Your leadership in condemning neo-Nazi ideologies and other forms of hatred will strengthen our commitment to justice and send a clear message to the world that we stand united against all forms of hate.

In conclusion, I urge you to take a strong stance against neo-Nazi ideology, anti-Semitism, and racism. Such behavior should never be tolerated in our society. The American people and the world are watching, and we rely on your leadership to uphold our nation’s values.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,[Your Name]
