Yes 

It's so strange. Why would someone do that if they didn't like.. play with fascism?

I worry that our modern, digital lives are removing social conscience and empathy from our brains and the future and its policies is just gonna see an increase in general selfishness.

Don't worry guys I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. Surely the guy who posted all of this stuff wouldn't be doing Nazi salutes. And if he did, then it's just a joke bro. The left needs to get a sense of humor.

The push back I see from the MAGAts are them posting pictures of other politicians that waved their hand then it looks like a salute. No you idiots. If you see video footage it's just a wave caught at the wrong time. This video footage shows it was intentional because of how aggressive he did it and the fact that he did it twice.

To me it definitely looks like an obvious nod to the extremely far right. I mean.. why else would you fist-thump your chest, then extend your arm at an upwards angle with fingers extended. And then do it again?

There's no other meaning tied to this particular movement, at least not in this former occupied country. If he'd done that in Germany, he would've persecuted. Prosecuted? One of those.

Of course he plays dumb now, but what else can he do.

At least three lawsuits have been filed against DOGE. Ramaswamy has announced he is running for Governor of Ohio.

Here's the latest WaPo headline.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's 'DOGE' vision broke down over deep philosophical differences
Putting the new "Department of Government Efficiency" inside a White House digital office could give Musk sweeping insight into government operations.

Business Insider and Atlantic links paywalled...

Not Fallen Far From the Tree? One of Musk's grandparents was arrested in Canada for being a member of "Technocracy Incorporated," a radical group that believed, among other things, that the world should be run by a cabal of technocratic authoritarians based in North America. This grandparent claimed that Hitler's rise to power was financed in part by Jews, whom he believed "created antisemitism to generate sympathy," according to an Atlantic profile.

Elon's just awkward because he has Nazbergers. Swastism, if you will.

[Lexi Darling]

He was just doing a stim heil.

Just realised his name is an anagram of lone skum.
