Lemme get this straight, Elon. If a guy throws TWO Nazi salutes and is then called a Nazi, that's "propaganda?" [View all]

In a Tuesday interview with CNBC, Musk accused the mainstream media of propaganda.

"What would an example of that be?" CNBC's David Faber wondered.

"That I'm a Nazi, for example," Musk replied. "And how many legacy media publications, talk shows, whatever, try 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 and I was talking about space travel."

"And yet, the legacy of media promoted that as though that was a deliberate Nazi gesture, when in fact, every politician, any public speaker who's spoken for any length of the time has made the exact same gesture," he added. "And I've never harmed, I've never harmed a single person."
