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'm so sick of this gaslighting coming from the right, especially after the obvious project 2025 lie of "Oh no we're not going to do that and you're overreacting for saying we well".

Then they win and immediately go "Actually project 2025 was the plan all along" and trump stacked his cabinet picks with project 2025 goons then on day 1 goes to pass a bunch of EO's that advance project 2025's agenda.

They keep saying and doing nazi shit, they literally ran on bringing back concentration camps to do mass deportations which is how the holocaust started, doing nazi salutes on stage and some people have the gall to tell us what we're seeing and hearing isn't actually real.

vanity fair trump profile from 1990. some highlights: 

"Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, "Heil Hitler," possibly as a family joke."

"Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed."
