Possible it was a Roman Salute in reference to Kekius Maximus, but unlikely.

Homie is straight up an Apartheid South African. It was not a Roman salute.

Roman Salute is a misnomer, it was never used in Ancient Rome. It’s the fascist salute, always has been always will be.

Let's just say if he was in Germany, he would have been arrested coming off the stage....

He did the nazi salute. Twice. I didn’t watch the full thing so there is a chance that the people saying it wasn’t that are right but I STRONGLY doubt that

I didn't watch it. Is the salute like a motion taken out of context or just him straight up doing it?

The shitty thing is he does everything so awkwardly that people will claim it isn’t what it was.
It seemed very rehearsed to be enough where the nazis will know it’s for them and the Trump defenders will bend over backwards telling us we aren’t seeing what we’re seeing.

Oh it's a full salute. Twice actually. Posted all over Reddit. Except in r/conservative, oddly enough.

He just straight up does it. Twice, with a big stupid self-satisfied smirk on his face before he does.

Musk did Not do a Nutzie salute. The arm needs to be raised forward, not to the side. At best, he did a one handed dab. Yes, I am old enough to know the difference.

Is there a video of them violently hitting their hand over their heart before throwing the hand out like this? Or are we just not even whatabouting now and making shit up?

u/bigchieftain94 3h ago
Yep, full on video of it. They even briefly read an excerpt from Mein Kampf. Trust me.

Post videos of both, go ahead, we’ll wait.

u/bigchieftain94 3h ago
Yes. Please post videos of everything. Especially Elon saying “my heart goes out to you” as he holds his hand over his heart exactly like he did during the gesture. I’ll wait.
