View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture
That's *deliberately* misleading.
Back in my day, we called that "lying" and people that did that "liars." Sometimes, we'd say their pants were on fire.

Haha, yeah, you're right. Instead of breaking out the italics and typing seven whole syllables (eight in some accents), there's the word "lying." Oops.
