A meteorologist in Milwaukee has been “dropped” by the TV station where she worked after criticizing Elon Musk in an Instagram post about his Nazi-like salutes, according to a report from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The Journal Sentinel reports that conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell then criticized Kuffel for the posts, accusing her of “spreading the lie that Elon Musk was giving a Nazi salute” during the speech.

Elon Musk has been condemned as "a mixture of mad and right-wing extremist" by professor Jens-Christian Wagner, a historian who runs the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial, the largest in Germany.

A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

The world’s richest man set out on a quest to boost the European powerhouse’s far-right opposition.
