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.
