    It’s also the Roman salute, which predates nazis and fascists.

    And you gotta admit, it’s a powerful gesture.

    Also, he runs a company that makes spaceships. Which is pretty awsome.

    Think about that while you work your shitty 9-to-5

      And the swastika was a Hindu symbol, blah blah blah.

      Hanging dictators upside down is also a very powerful gesture.

      He doesn’t run shit anymore, assuming that he’s ever run something more than his mouth.

      He’s just like one of those opportunistic diseases that attack a body with a compromised immune systems.

      And while I work my shitty job I’ll think about how cool it is that I’m not a Nazi *shrugs

      PS: since he’s Trump’s propaganda arm, I think that he won’t hang by his feet, he’ll just bite into a cyanide pill to avoid prosecution.

        You are like one of those little bugs that make noise at night. But instead of a melodious cheeping you just go “nazi nazi”.

          It’s very simple. If you try to apologize for Nazis, that makes you a Nazi. My grandparents gave me and the rest of their grandchildren all the training, and guns, we need to properly deal with fascists.

          The only good fascist is a dead fascist.

      This “Roman salute” is also a ridiculous claim. Why would musk to a Roman salute? How does Rome fit into anything?

      Then you just devolve into the common “well ur jealous because he’s rich” thing that people go for whenever an oligarch is criticized.

      It’s the lamest version of whatever you want to call it. he’s not projecting power, he looks like a 16 year old edgelord in a fedora and trenchcoat that had practiced this in the mirror for weeks and then got overly excited and blew his load when he had the opportunity to be edgy in public. He’s a fascist and used a salute adopted by fascists in Italy and then by fascists in Germany in the early 20th century. The man is a fascist, no matter how you or any of your chud friends try to spin it.
