    Ngl, I was sceptical since still images are not a good representation of what’s really going on when people are moving around, but then I checked out the video. Good lord, he even did it twice.

    Next he’ll be wearing a swastika on his arm and claiming “oh this is just a whirling log, a symbol of prosperity and peace”. And also “oh this is just a very black uniform that Hugo Boss made for me”

    And it’s day fucking 1! We still have (at least) four more YEARS of this!

    I’m reminded of Trump’s first term, when we all thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, and yet it always did keep getting worse.

    I can’t be fucked to go and see. Tired, been working in the cold.

    Is this getting much mainstream coverage or is it being ignored?

    Real funny how r/elonmusk official stance is that it was not a nazi salute. And yet the entire place is on complete lockdown. its as if someone just threw 3 sig heils while the cheers got louder only during the gesture.

    Remember when everyone hated on regular Russian citizens for not forming a rebellious revolution against Putin and assassinating him in his sleep? For not shooting every Russian oligarch and everyone who rubber stamped the invasion of Ukraine? Remember when people called them cowards and “as good as nazis” for being complacent and not getting up and doing something about it?

    Where are you keyboard warriors now that the USA needs you?

    Just sayin’
