Elon Musk's Nazi salute is ironic when "we've been told for the past five, six years that the thing we need to be most frightened of is what pronouns people are using," one BBC contributor says.
Summary
Elon Musk faced backlash for performing a Nazi salute twice during Donald Trump's inauguration, with some media outlets downplaying the act as an "awkward gesture" or a "controversial hand gesture."
Journalists are calling out these outlets for their hypocrisy, highlighting the double standard in prioritizing pronoun usage over such a blatant display of Nazi symbolism.
Critics argue that media outlets should have the courage to call out the salute for what it is, emphasizing the importance of truthful reporting in the face of such actions.
The still doesn't do the act justice. He did that repeatedly and enthusiastically. Anyone calling it anything less than a Nazi salute has an agenda that overlaps with the Nazis.
This one shows it even more specifically, for those who are defending it because he went off to the side instead of straight on. Let there be no doubt.
Sure, sure, sure. It's true that donvict is terrible and will be an agent of chaos, and Elon is out there throwing sieg heils, but seriously, it will all be worth it because donvict and Elon are going to outlaw pronouns, ya'll!
Oh and price of eggs and something something, genocide, yadda yadda, Gaza, bOtHsIdEs!
