PBS embarrasses itself with bogus allegations against Musk
The media is really turning up the dramatics up to eleven as Trump assumes office, and that means attacking anything and everything that so much as twitches in a way they don't like.
This includes Elon Musk, who, during a speech, proclaimed "My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured."
After some more words, Musk slapped his chest where his heart was and sent it out to the crowd. It should've been a nice moment, but the press immediately seized the moment to proclaim that Musk was doing a Nazi salute.
PBS released a post on X that said Musk "gave what appeared to be a fascist salute."
...
As Nick Arama wrote, the claim was immediately destroyed by X users, who called PBS out for tilting at windmills and demonstrating just how corrupt and ridiculous the media is. Moreover, as Arama pointed out, it's hard to depict this as a pro-Nazi rally when you had the families of Israeli hostages sitting at the rally as celebrated guests.
If the embarrassment of having been dogpiled on by the people for such a ludicrous claim wasn't enough, the media was effecively told by the Anti-Defamation League to calm down....
...
It is hard to see why anyone in the media would come to this conclusion about Musk and his exuberance over the election outcome. PBS owes Musk an apology. Millions of Americans were celebrating Trump's election and I doubt any of them thought they were celebrating Nazi Germany. They were also celebrating the departure of Biden who they saw as one of the worst presidents in history. That some in the media thought Biden was a great president is just another example of out of touch that some in the media were.
