Journalist calls out people for being 'fine' with Elon Musk's Nazi salute but not pronouns
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.

Yikes
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.
Agreed.
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.
At least Hitler did it without a goofy look on his face...
And, now I want to be clear....I'm not saying that he was a great guy, Hitler was an absolute monster....he was also willing to personally wade into the shit to start with. He fought Communists in the streets with a pistol and a whip. You think Melon or the human shaped Cheeto have the testicle to do that? Risk being killed for what they believe in, grotesque as it may be? Not a fucking chance. They're worse than Hitler, because they're fucking cowards. At the very least Hitler had the moral fortitude to assassinate a fascist dictator!
