View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture
Yeah. For example, according the the article, the Taylor Swift picture in question is a still frame from a video of her blowing a kiss. That's not the same thing, lol. That's *deliberately* misleading.

The image is also flipped
However, rather than raising her right hand, Taylor blows a kiss with her left hand and stretches her hand in front of her, opening and closing her palm. She holds the microphone to her side in her right hand.
A screenshot of this was flipped to make it appear that her right hand is in front of her.

Back in my day, we called that "lying" and people that did that "liars." Sometimes, we'd say their pants were on fire.
