CNN and PBS Help Spread New Hoax Against Elon Musk - It's As Ridiculous As You Would Think

It's been an action-packed day so far, with everyone celebrating the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

They finally got to the Capital One Arena, where the regular folks have been waiting for the arrival of Trump and Vance, and now they get to have a little parade fun.

In the meantime, the crowd has been hearing from a panoply of Trump nominees and officials. Among the people who spoke was Elon Musk, who was very enthused about the win and effusively praised Trump supporters for making it happen, saying how important it was for civilization that Trump had won.

At one point, he was so enthusiastic he pounded his chest over his heart and then shot his hand out as to throw his heart to the audience. He then said with his hand over his heart, "My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured."

But then immediately, the leftists went into overdrive, accusing him of doing a "Nazi salute."

Watch as CNN suggests the "salute" in their coverage, and then the reality is spliced in at the end of the clip.

🚨 WTF? CNN is seriously insinuating that Elon Musk made a Nazı salute at Trump’s rally?

PBS went all the way there, calling it a "fascist salute," although they didn't clip out the "my heart goes out to you" part.

Yes, the left has learned nothing and is off to yet another hoax. This is now being spread by leftists as "proof" of the new "Nazi oligarchy." It's insane. Forget any context. This is why they can't be trusted.

The "Stop Anti-Semitism" account called out the hoax and said to stop it: "Plese [sic] do not spread falsities."

Some on X pointed out that if you wanted to start contorting arm gestures, Kamala Harris made a similar arm gesture in 2019.

Kamala Harris saluted the crowd at the South Carolina Democratic Party in 2019—no outrage there.

Yet, when @elonmusk says, "My heart goes out to you," and symbolically throws his heart to the crowd, corporate media spins it as a "fascist salute."

How are they going to argue that Trump and his team are Nazi sympathizers while having the hostage families there with them? My guess is they'll skip that one altogether.

In addition to the fact that anyone who has followed Musk's thought process knows this is just ridiculous.

But they don't have a lot left anymore when they've been so completely crushed. Trump has triumphed so hard over them this is all they have left, and it's pretty desperate.
