    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.

      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.
