This is barely even satire at this point
I love how certain media call it a Roman Salute in an attempt to defend him.
Like, do they think Hitler just made it up himself?
He stole it from the Italians under Mussolini, who basically took it from a painting. There's no evidence the Romans used this salute, so it's always been associated with fascism.
Unfortunately, evidence isn't something these folks are worried about.
Their feelings don’t care about facts so to say
Same people that say the swastika is a symbol of peace.
Also, I think Hitler took the salute from this. Which is similar to the Roman salute.
Hitler had no great ideas, he stole from everyone, and was overall a terrible person full of hatred. But, he did ban human zoos.

Even if it was a roman salute, that was a symbol of fascism.
That's what I'm saying, it takes literally four seconds to look up where the "Roman" salute came from.
But these kids aren't big on the whole "reading" thing.
Isnt this the wrong community? This is not an onion or onion like article... I know Chaser usually does that, but there are no jokes or lies in there really are there? All those quotes have been said/written by someone.
I for one am absolutely amused that every reputable news source calls it a nazi-style salute, since Elon couldn't even get the salute right, despite his best efforts.
Sorry, replied to the wrong comment…
Isn't any salute Musk does a nazi salute?
Well played.
It looks like the halfway point between a Nazi salute and a dab
In their defense, the party said its most important action item on the talking points memo was not to trust your eyes or your ears any longer.
"Don't look up!"
Just an FYI, the real meaning of that salute is the statement, "I'm a kunt!"
This was the image I was thinking of when I first saw him do the thing
