Same Media That Tore Into Elon Musk Ignore When

Remember when the media around the world went nuts over Elon Musk’s arm gesture that they claimed was a Nazi salute? It occurred virtually a yr in the past today, on January 20, 2025, at a Washington, D.C. rally celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration to his second stint in workplace.

An enthusiastic Musk caught his arm out in a straight line for a mere second – and the world went wild. “I never imagined we would see the day when what appears to be a Heil Hitler salute would be made behind the Presidential seal,” wrote fortunately retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (NY-15) on social media. “80 Years After Auschwitz, Elon Musk Keeps the Fascist Salute Alive,” read a Newsweek opinion piece headline. Not to be overlooked, the Associated Press jumped in with, “Musk’s straight-arm gesture embraced by right-wing extremists regardless of what he meant.”

But guess who also has used that gesture on more than one event? You bought it — newly minted NYC democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. 

Does the corrupt, mendacity mainstream press care? Of course not. He’s a progressive; he can do what he needs.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Zohran Mamdani just did the EXACT SAME gesture as Elon Musk

When Elon does it, it is a “Nazi salute.”

When communist Zohran does it, the media is silent.

Not surprisingly, disgraced Minnesota Gov. Walz had joined in on the Elon feeding frenzy:

Liberals and critics ceaselessly attacked Trump while he was on the marketing campaign path by calling him a Hitler-esque fascist, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, who in contrast Trump to the German dictator during a city corridor in the ultimate stretch of the 2024 election cycle. Musk attended Trump’s inaugural parade in 2025, where he spoke to supporters and was accused of giving a Hitler-style salute to the crowds — a narrative that was promoted by Democrats such as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Musk himself seen the evident hypocrisy:

Musk had beforehand addressed the sustained “Nazi” fascist assaults that he and most others in Trumpworld have sustained. It’s pure propaganda, he said:

“Well, I mean, look, it’s a relentless propaganda campaign, which obviously President Trump has experienced for a very long time, 20 years, maybe longer,” Musk said on Fox News’ “My View with Lara Trump” in May. “And politics is a blood sport, so they’re going to come up with whatever attacks they can to destroy the public perception of someone.”

We have a saying around right here: you’ll be able to’t hate the media enough. Once again, they piled on like sheep when it match the leftist narrative, then clammed up like Mafia bosses when it didn’t. It jogs my memory of a comparable second in March 2024 when Trump talked about the massacre in the auto industry. Dozens of shops jumped in with what virtually appeared like coordinated headlines to preposterously declare that he was calling for violence in the streets. 

He was giving a speech on the financial system, dingbats.

As we reported, Musk posted to social media on New Year’s Day that he’s absolutely behind supporting the GOP in the midterms. The media are certainly sharpening their knives for their next Nazi assault, but fewer and fewer people will hear. When your double customary is this blatant, you hurt your credibility even additional, if that’s even doable after the great Biden cognitive decline cover-up. 

As Musk said in his post on Friday, “they lie.”
