Sam Kuffel, a meteorologist from Milwaukee, was terminated from her position at CBS58 after criticizing Elon Musk's hand gesture during the inauguration, which many interpreted as a Nazi salute. Kuffel expressed her views on Instagram, leading to considerable controversy after her post was shared by conservative radio host Dan O'Donnell. Despite her comments not being part of any newscast, public outcry escalated, resulting in her firing. Following her dismissal, Kuffel restricted her social media account and remained silent on the matter. Musk, for his part, has dismissed the criticisms and characterized them as tricks.
Dude Nazi saluted twice. TWICE. During the inauguration." Kuffel wrote in one of her posts, referring to Elon Musk's hand gesture at Trump's inauguration.
Musk has downplayed the party's extremist views in posts on X and in an op-ed in a German newspaper.
After O'Donnell shared her posts, Kuffel made her account private. She has not shared any additional information since her termination.
Social media has been inundated with posts responding to Musk's hand gesture. Musk has downplayed the action and denied that it was Nazi-esque, calling complaints about it "dirty tricks."
