A Milwaukee weather presenter, Sam Kuffel, was let go by WDJT-TV just one day after calling Elon Musk
a “Nazi” on social media. The controversy stemmed from Musk’s gesture at a gathering, which some

internet users likened to a Nazi salute. Kuffel’s post, which included a GIF from It’s Always Sunny
in Philadelphia, led to backlash, with conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell criticizing her for
spreading misinformation, Kuffel had been with the station for over five years before her abrupt
departure. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) defended Musk, stating his gesture was awkward but
not a Nazi salute. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also supported Musk,
emphasizing his strong ties to Israel and defense of the Jewish state
