NO ONE else talked about Elon Musk’s Nazi salute beside Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart was the only late night host to mention Elon Musk’s Nazi salute today. Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, none of them mentioned it at all in their show tonight. I never thought I would say this but I’m only getting my news from Comedy Central from now on.
At the time of this posting;
NBC News called it “Elon Musk gestures to inauguration crowd in what some on social media liken to a Nazi salute”;
ABC News has an 8 mins video titled “President Trump promises Elon Musk will achieve his greatest wish” and used a clip of Elon Musk shouting “Yes” during the very same speech, still no report on the Nazi salute on ABC News YT channel to this moment;
AP titled Elon’s entire speech as “Elon Musk celebrates at a Trump Inauguration Day viewing party”;
Washington Post cut out his first salute and only shown the second one when he’s facing away from the camera, titled “Elon Musk gives exuberant speech at inauguration”
Edit:
Forgot to mention, as of 10 am Eastern 1/21/25, PBS Newshour is the only major US news network that reported the Nazi salute and calling it a fascist salute on YouTube, 16 hours ago; CBS, CNN, MSNBC have yet to post anything on their YouTube page about this
Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers might have missed their window to talk about this due to their taping time, but Jimmy Kimmel used a clip from this very same speech in his monologue to mock Elon Musk being "a comic book villain ... biggest dork in 2 planets" but Kimmel never mentioned the salute
I also made a screen recording to document this, but feel free to check out their YouTube channels yourself https://youtu.be/piDZ7-RRRjQ
A lot of comments are saying Rachel Maddow talked about on her TV show, I did find a transcript on Mediaite confirming this, but after spending 2 hours trying to find it on YouTube I’m still out of luck, if anyone have a link please share it
Update:
Taylor Tomlinson joked about the salute on After Midnight, still waiting for Colbert and Meyers staff to upload tonight’s show on YouTube, but crazy how Tomlinson who self-identified as a “game show host” mention this before Kimmel
