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.

      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

            And if we help them [the abnormal children] with all our dedication, we also render the best service to our Volk; not only by avoiding that they burden the Volksgemeinschaft with their dissocial and criminal acts, but also by trying to ensure that they fulfill their duties as productive individuals in the living organism of the Volk. (Asperger H. Das psychisch abnorme Kind. Wien Klin Wochenschr. 1938;49:1314–7.)

            Dude was a Nazi, somehow people made up this story that saw him as a sort of good guy who wanted to protect children
