It was a Nazi salute, and every journalist and non-Nazi citizen should post it. He has a right to free speech and so do we.

Well if he was a martial arts enthusiast we certainly would have had /that/ shoved in our face by now, so gotta say this looks like a good old fashioned Nazi salute. Hey, he grew up in apartheid, what do you expect? Other than an asshole?

Wonder how long it will take for Trump to cut Musk loose after the stupid public Nazi salute? Musk already bought the election for Trump. He might be less useful now.

That assumes that Trump cares, and that they don’t already have some back room deal that keeps Elon in power regardless of Trump’s feelings.

"...a hand gesture that many observers have said appeared to be a Nazi salute." Is the article's writer, Chris Walker, one of those observers? Because if he is, he's doing a really bad job of showing it.

They don't actually use Bsky, it seems, they probably only use Twitter to make sure to felch Elon to his satisfaction

"...Elon Musk for making a hand gesture that many observers have said appeared to be a Nazi salute." Many observers have said?This is weak sauce for an organization calling itself Truthout. I know just saying 'making a Nazi salute' is tough for journalists. But you need to work on the wording here.

It is the Nazi's salute, he is not hiding it and they are complicit. What are people going to do about it? Start to create non-Nazi forums so you know who to buy from and who to not work with. Call them out on social media and stop giving them $$ to fuel hate and death.

That doesn't change that the gesture is a world renowned N_zi salute! Hurry up those recounts we will lose a lot of lives and freedoms if this group of losers isn't shown for who they are!

Almost overnight, America has turned into a Nazi regime. Henchmen are out in full force rounding up human beings to ship them off to detention camps, and now there are people in the WH making Nazi salutes. Elon would change his tune if his children were being dragged off to a gas chamber!

That’s wrong. Journalistic objectivity does not preclude professionals from the other foundation of journalism, which is the social responsibility to speak truth to power.

Musk is already suing a bunch of news outlets, and TruthOut doesn't have deep pockets like the NYT & co. Some equivocation here is probably wise even if deeply unsatisfying.

Yeah, but the thing is, he's got so much money that he can bankrupt people even if his case is bullshit. And it's a strategy that, again, he is ALREADY USING on other organizations. The NYT and its ilk? They should be unequivocal. But I'm willing to cut shoestring outlets some slack.
