Elon Musk cites examples of legacy media propaganda: claimed that I was a Nazi

Elon Musk: Legacy media are very effective at making people believe things that aren't true.

“Unfortunately, what I've learned is that legacy media propaganda is very effective at making people believe things that aren't true. For example, how many legacy media publications, talk shows, whatever, tried to claim that I was a Nazi because of some random hand gesture at a rally where all I said was that my heart goes out to you.

I was talking about space travel, and yet legacy media promoted that as though that was a deliberate Nazi gesture. In fact, every politician, any public speaker who's spoken for any length of time has made the exact same gesture. I've never harmed a single person.”
