The liberal news machine is at it again, frantically revving up its engines to lash out at the incoming Trump administration. It appears that CNN has decided to double down on its strategy of playing the Nazi card every chance it gets, and this time it’s directed at none other than Elon Musk. The tech titan, who was rallying the crowd at Trump’s inauguration event, found himself under suspicion for what the network described as an ambiguous gesture that could be misconstrued as a Nazi salute. CNN anchors were quick to jump on this, cleverly ignoring the freedom of expression that comes with political rallies.
On a busy news day, one might think CNN had a plethora of issues to cover—like the economy or national security—but they chose a clip of Musk apparently placing his hand over his heart before extending his palm downward. Erin Burnett and her colleagues eagerly speculated about the meaning behind the gesture, practically drumming up a conspiracy theory out of thin air. In their world, political rallies are apparently supposed to look like a cross between a PTA meeting and a fashion show, devoid of any real emotion.
CNN and its parrots are seriously implying Elon Musk made a Nazi salute at Trump’s inaugural rally. Musk mimes tearing his heart out of his chest telling the crowd, “My heart goes out to you.” CNN shows it without the audio. And CNN wonders why its “news” isn’t trusted. pic.twitter.com/3SipR37zpv

The comparisons between Trump and Hitler have become so tired that they need a nostalgic soundtrack to accompany the tiredness. Trump rally attendees are consistently portrayed as radical extremists rather than average Americans simply exercising their rights. It wasn’t enough to tar the President-elect; now Musk is thrown into the mix because he dared to express gratitude and excitement. During a recent event at Madison Square Garden, critics jumped at the chance to draw parallels to a Nazi meeting from over eight decades ago. Historical context? Not in CNN’s playbook.
Social media influencer, Collin Rugg, highlighted the context of Musk’s passionate display. He wasn’t throwing up some sinister salute; he was thanking the crowd for their support and thrill in a situation that warranted excitement. In the world of liberal outrage, thanking supporters is suddenly transformed into something nefarious. Musk’s lively dance moves paired with his heartfelt narrative were just a bit too much for CNN’s busy narrative framework.
Responding to the media frenzy, Musk didn’t mince words. By poking fun at CNN’s fixation on Nazi comparisons, he implied that the network is running out of creative ideas. Indeed, it appears the “everyone is Hitler” trope is past its expiration date. Even a close associate of Musk attempted to clarify that his perpetually misunderstood gesture was just a quirky expression of enthusiasm, perhaps even a heartwarming moment that the left found too difficult to digest.
To top it all off, the Anti-Defamation League weighed in, suggesting that people should ease off the Nazi comparisons, especially on the very first day of the Trump presidency. Enthusiasm amid political fervor is mistaken for extremism in the eyes of the mainstream media. To the left, telling a heartfelt story is an unforgivable act, all while their preoccupation with outrage spirals further out of control.
