At a post-inauguration rally Monday, Elon Musk thanked Donald Trump’s supporters with a gesture that resembled a Roman salute, first putting his palm to his chest and then extending a stiff right arm toward the crowd, at a slight elevation and with his palm down.
You've got to be fucking kidding me, Rolling Stone. Get the fuck out of here.
The Hitler salute is a "Roman salute". The Roman empire is a big inspiration for Nazis. And Rolling Stone seems to be very aware of that in the article.
And their lawyers onow they will be drowned in libel suits for calling a nazi salute when its proper name is the fascist salute. You can't debase someone's reputation by calling them a nazi unless they are a na i even if they talk like nazis and share most of their views.
I don't quite follow what you're saying, but I think I largely agree?
Welp, they just made the do not read list.
They were already in the do not read list when their "top 50 games of all time" was AI generated
I fucking tested it myself with GPT 4o
It’s ok, everyone with 2 brain cells know that the nazis got the salute from the Romans. It’s the same thing.
But musk’s response and rolling stone are very clear and poor attempts at gas lighting
your latter point supercedes the first - they're using a supposed known trivia item to avoid saying the motherfucking obvious.
It's inexcusable.
If it walks like a Nazi and talks like a Nazi...
Punch it, before grandad sees and wonders why the fuck he lost so many friends fighting the fucken nazi's, only for them to take over his country.
So my guess is there are factions of the military about to be purged. If the people want a chance it better be soon.
They keep defending him saying "it was on accident, he's autistic!"
Hitler would have put autistic people in the camps.
Child euthanasia (German: Kinder-Euthanasie) was the name given to the organized killing of severely mentally and physically disabled children and young people up to 16 years old during the Nazi era in over 30 so-called "special children's wards". At least 5,000 children were victims of the program, which was a precursor to the subsequent murder of children in the concentration camps.

Hans Asperger, who studied autism, was a doctor who was responsible for determining if these children lived or were put to death/experimented on (knowingly or unknowingly so).
Hitler would have exterminated Elon Musk!
Would have? He did!
Oh boy did he ever! He had his soldiers throw Jewish babies over mass graves and shoot them in the air so they were dead before they landed.
And from what I know of trump, I wouldn't be the least surprised if they end up in the death camps this time too
First this hat then the salute, what’s to debate, it’s fucking nazi scum.
I am reminded of the scene from The Great Dictator where the Hitler analogue delivers what is clearly a hateful rant in a gibberish language, and the english translation is a soft, milquetoast reinterpretation for the international audience.
“Straight arm salute”
Right. Gotcha. And a swastika is an “almost grid”.
It's going to be a window as soon as I can afford to finish the tattoo.
It's a deconstructed "cool S" it's just art!!
My favorite buzz to hear from them would be from the electric transformer jacked into their chairs
Well, isn't that a surprise.
Liberal media: {shocked pikachu face} - why no, it only APPEARS to be that Elon gave a Roman salute. Rest assured we'll get a good explanation for this later on, you guys!
Nazi Musk fanbois: {permanent erection}
That's not a straight arm salute, its a Hitler Salute. You don't have to be German to be a fucking Nazi.
Frame by frame it looks the same to me
So there are people both denying it and acknowledging it.
"liberal media" desperate to be allowed to keep making money: deny!
Literal online Nazis: he's one of us!!
That's a feature not a bug
Nooooooo, that is all one big misunderstaaaaaaaandiiiiiiiing.
You're just throwing the nazi insult at everyone you disliiiiiiike
Look at all these still images of Democrats pointing they're the same! /s
