    The article says…

    …where the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made two stiff-armed salutes that many interpreted as a fascist gesture.

    Can’t say I care for that characterization. Half the world is trying to gaslight me about this but my fucking eyes work.

      The local TV here in Portugal also did the whole saying “that some consider a Nazi salute” thing in their news segment about this …

      … and then showed Elon’s salute and a bunch of Nazis doing Nazi salutes as examples, leaving nobody in the audience but the blind in any doubt that Elon’s salute was the same as the salutes that the Nazis did.

        This sort of chickenshit faux neutrality, that seems to believe the smart and sensible position is political illiteracy and “working on themselves first”, is the greatest asset to fascists.
