No link given because it's all over the news. If you ask for proof you're going to have to eat my ass.

A lot of people are going to say it wasn't intended as a Nazi salute, and to that, I say: it doesn't matter. Was it a dog whistle? A variation of a Nazi salute from a South African neo-nazi party? Or just the vanilla salute? Such pontification is a waste of time. Fokker is a Nazi; you didn't need to see him salute. To all the regulars here, Musk being a Nazi is just an axiom of his whole deal. I mean, it's not called technofascism for nothing.

Was it? Was it? I’m tired of the fucking excuses. He’s a nazi doing nazi salutes. If that’s not obvious you should go back to school because you’re a fucking moron. Sorry for the rant.

It would be good if European leaders reacted to this, but I don’t expect them to since they have no balls right now and don’t want to offend the new POTUS.

They’ll react to it … by swerving further right.
