Just saw the headline "Elon Musk accused of making what appeared to be fascist salute" from CBC. Is mainstream journalism too cowardly to call a straight up, broad daylight nazi salute for what it is now? How can you still be in denial about it?

@Slamchez @Gargron Same here in Germany, where we should be *very* aware of what that means...

@ditsch42 @Gargron If anyone in Europe has paid any attention to what’s happened in our elections with Twitter take notes and call it out. Fine him if you have to. I would argue the same with Facebook

@Slamchez @Gargron
The only newspaper I read here given the news as

"Did Elon Musk made a Nazi salute in inauguration speech? - The images sparked controversy."

And the image is spot on with his arm extended completely.

News body discusses the salute is understood as Nazi salute, and cites a tweet from PatriotTakes.

So, they didn't tell it straight out, but they said that he did a Nazi salute.

I'm OK with this.

@Slamchez @Gargron Exactly the same in Brazil.
