The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

President Elon Musk performed a Nazi salute in front of the Presidential Seal today. "The billionaire grunted and placed his hand to his heart before extending his arm out above his head with his palm facing down. After he turned around, he repeated the motion to those behind him.

The motion soon drew comparisons online to the salute popularized by Adolf Hitler, and others interpreted it as a Roman salute, which is also known as the “Fascist salute” and was later adopted by the Nazis. The Nazi variation of the gesture is illegal in some European countries, including Germany.

Elon’s maternal grandparents, who were members of the Nazi party in Canada, later moved to South Africa because they supported the Apartheid regime.

First Lady Trump will have office space for Musk in his White House, because the First Lady is a great admirer of dictators like Putin, and wants his billionaire oligarchs to get richer with his grifting. His latest scam is issuing Trump and Melania crypto meme coins.

In an utterly predictable move, Musk kicked Rapper Vivek to the curb, and wants the full power to control DOGE by himself. Rapper Vivek now plans to get out the hell out of DOGE and run for Governor of Ohio! HA HA HA!

Meanwhile, ordinary citizens can just suck it, and continue to pay higher prices for eggs and gas. Shouldn't be a problem for MAGA dupes, who, despite complaining about these prices, still could afford the airfare to fly to DC to attend the inauguration. But the dupes found out they couldn't attend it because it got moved indoors.
