This morning, one of the world's most popular musicians publicly praised Adolf Hitler. Just days ago, he dined with Trump. Just hours after his Hitler comments, the world's richest man & owner of Twitter embraced him.

There is nothing on NYT/WaPo/CNN website front pages about this.

@sfierbaugh unless that link establishes that the article was on the Post’s front page at the time I wrote my post, it is not a fact-check of my post, snarky hashtag or no.

@sfierbaugh also that article makes no mention of Musk’s embrace of Kanye. So, again, a pretty unsuccessful fact-check.
