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
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.
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.
Ok, how often do you see Hindus, Buddhists, Nepalese, Indians, Thai, Mongolians, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Japanese, Akans, Hopis, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples spray paint it on walls or get it tattooed on their bodies in AMERICA? This isn't any of those countries you listed. The next time I see someone with a swastika on their neck and a Nazi salute here in America am I supposed to assume it's a peace loving Buddhist with an interest in Roman history?
No, but if you see it from a person or that ethnicity and religious background, you shouldn't assume it's an ode to Hitler.
You did not read a single thing I posted. I did not praise Nazism or Hitler. Your lights might be on, but no one is home.
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.
This is barely even satire at this point
I for one am absolutely amused that every reputable news source calls ot a nazi-style salute, since Elon couldn't even get the salute right, despite his best efforts.
It looks like the halfway point between a Nazi salute and a dab
Isn't any salute Musk does a nazi salute?
the president:
the media:
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.
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
