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.
Lol. Elon’s alleged autism comes in handy whenever he pulls off something that would embarass a teenage edgelord
Alleged is the right word, especially because he keeps saying he has Asperger’s, which hasn’t been a medical diagnosis in years, and there’s no evidence he was ever evaluated.
Nazis pulled the whole Asperger thing out of thin air because certain deviants could still be useful workers
… what on earth are you talking about?
Dude was a Nazi, somehow people made up this story that saw him as a sort of good guy who wanted to protect children
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?
OP is in favor of racial segregation. Wtf.
Their whole post history is fascinating in a watching the aftermath of a violent car wreck sort of way.
Yeah, people with autism are sieg heiling left and right, it’s a common symptom described in the DSMIV /s
Get fucked nazi apologist.
As an autistic person, I have no sympathy for Elon. Nor do I have sympathy for anyone so blatantly refusing to call a spade a spade.
Ah. So this is actually a great point.
Do you honestly believe Elon acts or has views similar to a nazi? If so, in what way?
I’ll raise you one. If what he did isn’t a Nazi salute, try doing it at work and see how it goes.
Yuck… I torture myself… your public schooling stupidity is too much…
I don’t understand what sadistic pleasure I derive from this…
Well, I’m glad we’re on the same page in regard to continuing this discussion. Have a nice day!
Lulz… have a good one ol’ state education 👍.
Nazi sympathizer is a bad look.
So, what you’re saying is that Elon is a Nazi?
As an extremely awkward autistic person, have you ever Sieg heiled?
You probably won’t believe me… but yes, I have accidently done a nazi type salute… unintentionally. I dare say it has happened more than once… I just don’t know what to do with my arms sometimes…
I have ADHD, Autism and god damn OCD. People are akward with me and I am with them. Never in my fucking life did I need to stim using a Sieg Heil. Never in my life felt I that my body, as motorically challenged as it is, that the thing it should be doing that motion bang on perfect. Twice. On TV.
If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, Sieg Heils as a duck it is a nazi.
Ok? Are you some poster boy of all awkward movements? I once flicked off a whole crowd after piano recital, unintentionally.
Yall are some kinda dumb around here… hypocritical. Shameful.
Once. You did it once. Without doubling down. And continue going on that same road.
So stop watering down what he did. I am not even hypocritical. At most it could be virtue signaling. But it is a virtue apparently to not make the god damn Sieg Heil on national television.
Has musk said as much? Or is this just mental gymnastics making excuses for the guy?
Musk hasn’t tried to clarify anything, because he shouldn’t have to.
All those that honestly, sincerely believe that Musk was “sig hailing” are either full of shit, stupid, or lying.
These responses: It’s a little sad, a little funny, but fully expected. Most yall done gone full retard.

Yeah, why would anyone think that someone endorsing the AfD is a Nazi?
Are you really old or really young?
Neither
Aneurysm then?
Nazis don’t deserve to breathe.
A nazi would be proud of your absolutism, and cruelty.
