Maye Musk communicated on social media asking her son Elon to sue CNN over their commentary regarding a controversial gesture he made, described by critics as resembling a fascist salute. This incident sparked intense media scrutiny and criticism towards Musk and CNN, culminating in a moment on CNN NewsNight where Scott Jennings refrained from replicating the salute on air. Maye's request underlined her frustration with the negative attention surrounding the situation, which Musk echoed on social media, referring to the criticisms as a 'Nazi hoax.'
"Almost as if by design (wink, wink), a massive political media controversy followed suit... recriminations of the weird salute... became perfect fodder for the outrage-based political infotainment ecosystem..."
"Catherine Rampell challenged Scott Jennings to do the salute himself on national television... His cool-headed decision not to take the bait undermined... all others who've defended Musk."
