After calling out Elon Musk on social media for what some people believed to be a Nazi salute, a weather presenter from Milwaukee was fired from her position at a local television station. This happened just twenty-four hours after she had called out Musk, whose own daughter had criticized him online.

The Tesla mogul, who is 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 President of the United States of America.

He did this by thumping his chest with his hand and hoisting his arm, which drew comparisons to a dishonorable historical gesture from internet users.

The departure of meteorologist Sam Kuffel was verified by Jessie Garcia, the news director of the station, in an internal note. Garcia stated, “Meteorologist Sam Kuffel is no longer employed at CBS58,” as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Additionally, Garcia indicated that they were looking for a new meteorologist to join their team.

As of Tuesday, Kuffel had posted a message on Instagram in which she expressed her disapproval of Musk’s activities. According to her criticism, which was based on a photo that she published, “Dude Nazi saluted twice.” TWO TIMES. In the course of the inauguration.”

In her letter, she stated her annoyance in a straightforward manner, saying, “You f* with this and this man, I don’t f* with you.” “Close the book,”

In a different tweet, Kuffel emphasized her views by using a GIF from the show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” She wrote, “Screw that old b****. The man is a Nazi.

Kuffel was criticized by Dan O’Donnell, a conservative radio personality, for her “vulgar” Instagram photos on Tuesday. O’Donnell criticized Kuffel for “spreading the lie that Musk was giving a Nazi salute” after Trump’s inauguration.

According to the news, the well-liked weather presenter had been working at the station for more than five years. Prior to that, he had worked at WAOW-TV in Wausau, which he had done after graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in 2016.

The American rescue League (ADL), an organization that was established in 1913 “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all,” came to Musk’s rescue in response to the internet hubbub that surrounded his gesture and the connotation it conveyed.

ADL made the following comment in a statement that was distributed on X: “This is a difficult moment. Even though it is a new day, still so many people are on edge. Our political climate is tense, and the use of social media only serves to exacerbate the situation.

Musk “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge,” they clarified. “We appreciate that people are on edge.” There was an appeal made by the group for “all sides” to show each other “a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath.”

“Tis the beginning of a fresh start. In the coming weeks, months, and years, let us keep our fingers crossed for healing and work toward achieving oneness,” they concluded.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, took to X in the thick of the issue to express his support for Musk. He stated that Musk “is being falsely smeared.”
