This is very disturbing. I didn’t believe the reports until I saw the salute video. Importantly, neo-N*azi groups are celebrating the gesture. So they saw what my eyes saw too.

Musk will argue he was doing a Roman military salute. But context matters. He recently issued public support for the neo-nazi AfD party in Germany. His grandparents were members of the Nazi party in Canada according to Errol Musk. He had to or should have known how this would look to the world.

@jaykuo "According to an apocryphal legend, the fascist gesture was based on a customary greeting which was allegedly used in ancient Rome. However, no Roman text describes such a gesture, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern so-called "Roman" salute."
"Not a single Roman work of art displays a salute of this kind."
