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.
The evidence is tweets coming from a platform that literally cannot be trusted. This is a click bait article.

From FOX News talking about how Trump wants to defund PBS.
this is a years-old article, not relevant to the current controversy
So, what you’re saying is that you personally did a big search yourself and couldn’t find anything that made you think Trump was thinking about doing this? Nothing at all from any reliable source?
Also, I didn’t use the newest article I could find, I picked the first I could find from a Right source so there’d be no possible bias.
Ignore him. He’s sea lioning.
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
PBS covered this subject from bais.
I can’t believe how far this has been taken…
As an extremely awkward autistic person, I commiserate with Elon…
Think whatever, Elon didn’t know what to do with his his hands, or limbs in general.
Has musk said as much? Or is this just mental gymnastics making excuses for the guy?
Musk hasn’t tried to clarify anything, because he shouldn’t have to.
All those that honestly, sincerely believe that Musk was “sig hailing” are either full of shit, stupid, or lying.
These responses: It’s a little sad, a little funny, but fully expected. Most yall done gone full retard.
It’s not a “salute”, it’s a Nazi salute, from a Nazi, to tell the world, “I’m a powerful Nazi and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
It’s time we did something about it.
It’s time we did something about it.
We had that chance, just over two months ago.
We elected one of them to office.
It’s never too late to fight fascism.
T’Ana is one lucky Caitian.
