Summary
Trump supporters are calling to defund PBS after it reported that Elon Musk’s post-inauguration gesture resembled a Nazi salute.
PBS described it as “similar to the ‘Sieg Heil’ used by Nazis,” sparking conservative backlash, with figures like Tomi Lahren and Rep. Andy Biggs accusing PBS of propaganda.
Musk denied the claim and criticized “legacy media” and Wikipedia for bias.
Calls to defund PBS align with longstanding conservative goals and plans like Project 2025, which includes eliminating public media funding under a new Trump administration.
As an autistic person, I have no sympathy for Elon. Nor do I have sympathy for anyone so blatantly refusing to call a spade a spade.
Ah. So this is actually a great point.
Do you honestly believe Elon acts or has views similar to a nazi? If so, in what way?
I’ll raise you one. If what he did isn’t a Nazi salute, try doing it at work and see how it goes.
