    The headline currently seems to be:

    Elon Musk accused of giving ‘Nazi salute’ at Trump inauguration celebration

    Which, I mean, isn’t really much better, as you can clearly see he is indeed giving a nazi salute.

      ‘People with functioning vision have reported seeing Musk give a Nazi salute. As the news, we’ve decided to not investigate this any further.’

        Just out of curiosity, what do you expect them to investigate? We have the video of what happened. We know (more or less) what his response is going to be. And any deeper story of his previous Nazi-like actions have already been published.

          Not them, but I expect them to do the most cursory of investigation: looking with their eyes and saying what happened unambiguously, and without weaseling about it:

          “Elon musk gives Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration.”

          is what the headline should be, because that’s what happened.

          Instead they’re playing this “we’re not saying he gave a Nazi salute, but others have said he did” bullshit games.

          I was mocking the company that published the article for not titling the headline to reflect what it is (a Nazi salute), I agree it’s not a big mystery what he did or why.
