What a ridiculous world we’re living in that someone who does a full on nazi salute in front of millions of people is facing no consequences for his actions, but someone who criticized him has lost her job.
- Probably some clause in her contract over political messaging. Not uncommon for journalists.
  
  She's a meteorologist. Elon being a fucking nazi has no bearing on the weather forecast.
  
  Oh, absolutely agreed, but at the same time I bet there's some clause in her contract they're pulling as an excuse. Either no politics or no social media or some combination.
