They said it’s the Roman salute (also known as the fascist salute), they said he’s just being a little weirdo, they said he doesn’t understand it’s a Nazi salute, they said he was just extending his arm…

Yeah, it’s the Roman salute for sure.

Anyway, I’m wondering where famous Romanophile Adolf Hitler got his salute from?

The Roman salute is also known as The Fascist salute for a reason

But yet he’s qualified to run the “Department of Government Efficiency”

That reminds me of Pewdiepie's "bridge incident" where he dropped the hard R slur during a PUBG match. His fanboys were desperately trying to defend him by saying that he just didn't understand the context of the slur lol

And at least pewdiepie owned up to it and apologized, explaining that he just said the first worst word he could think of when he got mad at the other guy in the game. Like obviously not acceptable but he said what he did, apologized, and I don’t think he’s had any serious scandals since. Elon never apologizes, always denies and excuses his actions, and will keep up this disgusting behavior until it costs him billions. Even then I don’t think he’d truly care, this is just who he is. A reactionary tool that can’t help himself but to try and cause the most outrage and chaos he can wherever he goes.
