49. DU taught me that this was the Nazi salute

I consider myself informed but I did not know until today that what .musk did was that salute. Not to defend CNN but those analysts are young and may not know it either.

I’m disgusted by Musk. It looked intentional to me.

Naivete. News is news but the way it's presented can and quite often does lean one way of the other. brush Jan 20 #17

No, it's called commentary, not reporting. ificandream Jan 20 #21

Ok. Like I said, news is news, but rarely are just the facts reported. Very rarely. brush Jan 20 #23
