"WOW! Checking in on hate group chats, and they are absolutely buzzing by what they perceive to be a Roman salute by Elon Musk."

~ Phil Williams quoted by Alex Henderson

I'm going to assume that right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis know a Nazi salute when they see one better than anyone else knows a Nazi salute.

"Back in the first Trump presidency, Trump’s critics spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get Trumpers to admit they’d done this or that, to apologize, whatever. This was always a mistake. I don’t need anyone to validate what I saw. I saw it."

Note the valuable new resource that Judd Legum and Caleb Ecarma launched yesterday — Musk Watch. They state,

"This photograph of Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute while standing behind the seal of the President of the United States summarizes the reprehensible first day of the second Trump regime. This gesture was no accident. The richest man in the world gave Hitler’s sieg heil not once, but twice in rapid succession."
