Summary

Trump supporters are calling to defund PBS after it reported that Elon Musk’s post-inauguration gesture resembled a Nazi salute.

PBS described it as “similar to the ‘Sieg Heil’ used by Nazis,” sparking conservative backlash, with figures like Tomi Lahren and Rep. Andy Biggs accusing PBS of propaganda.

Musk denied the claim and criticized “legacy media” and Wikipedia for bias.

Calls to defund PBS align with longstanding conservative goals and plans like Project 2025, which includes eliminating public media funding under a new Trump administration.

    PBS covered this subject from bais.

    I can’t believe how far this has been taken…

    As an extremely awkward autistic person, I commiserate with Elon…

    Think whatever, Elon didn’t know what to do with his his hands, or limbs in general.

      Has musk said as much? Or is this just mental gymnastics making excuses for the guy?

      I understand awkwardness and if that was the only thing he did i might sympathize, but does your autism also make you financially support far right candidates like the AfD and repost neo nazi talking points?
