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.

Musk heard about the 'gamer words' and because so many called him a fake game he went out and did nazi salute, he feels bullied really.

E: reality is even dumber, in what is prob an attempt to distract from the nazi salutes he admits to cheating, using the 'everybody does it' defense. Of course he also thinks he did nothing wrong, in a way that would make Sartres skin crawl. Poor Grimes, face bitten again.

Grimes has gotta stop drinking the brain-smoothing juice.
