    first time reading from that source and i must say i am a bit confused of the rethoric used by the author. spicifically not calling the nazi salute by its name and adapting to call tesla vandalism “terrorism”. Also i think some fact checks for the wrong musk tweets would be nice, but that might be out of scope for a smaller publisher. Do you have thoughts of that source? i am not convinced to read more articles from there tbh

        Musk’s own projection — creating a false link between terrorism and trans identity — followed Wilson’s unvarnished comments in a cover story for Teen Vogue.

        The article author validates Musk’s incorrect view that vandalism and destruction of property somehow equates to terrorism.

        “The Nazi salute s**t was insane,” Wilson continued, referring to Musk’s straight-arm salute at Donald Trump’s post-inaugural celebration. “That s**t was definitely a Nazi salute.”

        The author chickens out in calling a Nazi salute what it is and instead writes “straight-arm salute”
