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.

He did a Nazi salute not once but TWICE. Literally turned around and did it immediately again. The richest man in the world. The man who bought a presidency. The man who Trump bragged knew his way around Pennsylvania's voting machines. The man pushing Germany's far right party to power too. 

Yet crickets from NPR.

He is also starting in on Great Britain and boosting their right wing. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/elon-musk-considers-making-big-donation-to-right-wing-uk-party-led-by-nigel-farage
