        early on there was an analysis that showed it was closest to the South African right wing version. Which kinda makes sense, no?

          why does it matter?

          lmfao the fucking 1984 doublespeak shit that lets these fucks edge their way into normalcy shouldn’t be tolerated. he did a roman solute full stop. why is this even something that people entertain debating?

          act like they’re the stupid fucking idiots they are so they go crawling back into the depths of hell in shame, where they came from

            please don’t do double speak: calling it a roman salute is already trying to give it any historical rationalisation.

            it is a nazi salute. there is little to no evidence of romans doing that salute. the only history with that gesture starts around 1914.

          What do you mean? Hitler is doing the Roman salute. Which is not what Musk was doing in this video.

            Roman salute comes from rome indeed. Its historical indeed, namely q930s. Coincidentally made by the same people who invented faschsim, coincidentally named faschists.

            Read a single fucking book.

            At birth God must have swapped your mouth for your asshole because everything you say is shit. The Roman salute never existed. It was used in art after the Roman empire. Nazis saw it and liked it and used it as their salute. Elon is absolutely doing a Nazi salute. Twice. Now get the fuck back to X where your supreme leader can save you from the real world and free speech.

            The claim that the salute has its origins in ancient Rome is dubious at best and ignores the fact that the salute is immediately associated with Nazism. Not a single Roman work of art depicts the salute. Don’t you think that’s a little fishy? There is evidence that it actually originated from the National Fascist Party, under Mussolini. Suffice to say there’s no good evidence that it originated from ancient Rome as opposed to it being a relatively new thing starting from the turn of the 20th century and originating in fascism.

            Do you have any historical references to Romans doing that? Cause all I can find are fascists doing a salute called a Roman salute.
