About the Creator
C3 (@C_3C_3) is a conservative commentator on X known for posting critical takes on mainstream media, often accusing them of bias and propaganda. Their style is confrontational and hyperbolic, using phrases like 'Enemy of the People' to rally followers. Credibility is low among neutral observers due to lack of primary sourcing and partisan framing, though popular in right-leaning circles.
What's This About?
The post criticizes major media outlets like NYT, BBC, NPR, CNN, and others for allegedly comparing Elon Musk's hand wave at Trump's inauguration to a Nazi salute, calling it a deliberate lie. It contrasts this with a claim that these outlets won't apply the same scrutiny to 'Mamdani,' implying media hypocrisy and propaganda. The controversy stems from Musk's chest-thump and arm extension gesture, interpreted by some as a fascist salute and defended by others, including historians, as non-Nazi[1][2][3].
🔥Why It's Trending
This post is trending amid the fresh backlash over Elon Musk's January 2025 inauguration gesture at Trump's event, fueling partisan debates on media bias and hypocrisy. Timing aligns with ongoing defenses of Musk via out-of-context Democrat photos, amplifying divisions post-inauguration. Its provocative media hit list resonates with audiences skeptical of legacy outlets.
💡Fun Facts
- 1Musk described his gesture as 'my heart goes out to you,' moving his hand from chest to audience, dismissing Nazi claims as 'dirty tricks'[1][3].
- 2Historians like Richard Evans argue it's not a Nazi salute because Musk's gaze followed his hand, unlike the straight-ahead fascist style[2].
- 3In Germany, the gesture drew strong condemnation as a Nazi salute, where such acts are illegal[1].
- 4Neo-Nazi groups celebrated it, while the Anti-Defamation League said it was not Nazi-like, though other Jewish groups disagreed[1].
- 5Defenders shared misleading collages of Democrats like Obama and Harris with arms raised, debunked as out-of-context[3][4].
