CBS weather reporter fired after Elon Musk ‘Nazi salute’ comments

A weather presenter from Milwaukee has been shown the door at a local TV channel, merely 24 hours after she called out Elon Musk – whose own daughter blasted him online – on social media over what some thought was a Nazi salute.

The Tesla mogul, who’s now in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency, had raised eyebrows during a gathering at Capital One Arena after President Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th US President by thumping his chest with his hand and hoisting his arm, drawing comparisons to a distasteful historical gesture from internet users.

HE HAD NO HOME, NO FAMILY—EXCEPT FOR THE CAT THAT SLEPT ON HIS CHEST EVERY NIGHT. “SHE CHOSE ME,” HE SAID. “THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.” The first time I saw him, it was just past midnight outside the 24-hour laundromat. He was curled up on a ripped camping mat like it was the softest bed in the world, the dim neon sign flickering above him. On his chest lay a small orange cat, her fur patchy, one ear half-gone. She was draped over him like she belonged there—her rise and fall perfectly in sync with his breathing. His shoes were held together with duct tape. A trash bag sat beside him in place of a backpack. You could see life had weathered him in ways most of us couldn’t imagine. I started leaving food from the café where I worked the night shift—an extra muffin, a cup of soup, once even a leftover grilled cheese from a missed pickup. He never asked. Always thanked me. And always made sure the cat ate first. One night, I finally sat down beside him and asked her name. “Hazel,” he said, gently stroking the ragged patch behind her ear. “She chose me,” he added softly, eyes on her, not me. “That’s all that matters.” Over time, I learned pieces of his story—how his brother stopped answering his calls, how his mother had passed three winters ago, how he’d tried shelters but Hazel wasn’t allowed in. “So I chose the cold,” he said simply. “Because without her… there’s nothing to come in for.” And then, last week, they were gone. Three nights in a row—no Hazel, no sleeping bag, no trace of them except the bare concrete where they’d always been. I asked around. A few people mumbled about a city crew clearing the area. No one knew where he went. No one had seen the cat. Until this morning. On my walk to work, I saw a flash of orange at the bus stop. It was Hazel. Alone. She looked right at me… like she’d been waiting. (continue reading in the 1st comment)
