    If you perform a Nazi salute, you’re a Nazi.

    Musk performed TWO Nazi salutes on national television during a presidential inauguration.

    Musk owns X.

    Anymore questions? Do I need to illustrate with crayons?

      Some would say a Roman salute 🫡 So anything else substantial? That can’t be interpreted as something else?

            not my job and this is not the place to waste my time providing a textbook-level of evidence of what you could have researched yourself if you were willing to be persuaded, but ask your History teacher if you’re seriously asking.

              Then why did you reply to me?

              I know what a Nazi is However people often misuse it with people they disagree with. Elon already had a lot of hate before that.

              Can a Jew be a Nazi? Are Kanye a Nazi?

              People with their beehive mentality, just echoes being what other people says. Can’t have simple discussions without people trying crucify you for asking questions.

                Here’s a question: why don’t you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?

              If you can’t answer him that’s all you have to say.

              Don’t do this rigamarole of “do your own research to justify why other people use their words.”

        Italian here, Roman actually.

        The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.

        It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.

        So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.
