A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute, says Zeit

Jeff Jarvis

But the still calls it an "Inauguration salute," "a controversial gesture," and a "Nazi-style salute." I await the Style story on the similarities to Dr. Strangelove.

@timoj @jeffjarvis Well, they are a Правда-style journal…

@jeffjarvis At least Dr Strangelove had the sense to try to rein it in

@jeffjarvis It doesn’t “stoke debate in Europe” - as your original post shows, we know it when we see it.

@photovince Sorry but unfortunately yes : here (in France) too many newspapers and TV channels have called it a "controversial" or "ambiguous" gesture. Or now say that he is "accused of having made a Nazi salute", opening the way to a "debate" which has no place to be taking place, and leaving the way to Musk's response.
Few have clearly and right away described it as the Nazi salute that it is, without debating this.
