No link given because it's all over the news. If you ask for proof you're going to have to eat my ass.

A lot of people are going to say it wasn't intended as a Nazi salute, and to that, I say: it doesn't matter. Was it a dog whistle? A variation of a Nazi salute from a South African neo-nazi party? Or just the vanilla salute? Such pontification is a waste of time. Fokker is a Nazi; you didn't need to see him salute. To all the regulars here, Musk being a Nazi is just an axiom of his whole deal. I mean, it's not called technofascism for nothing.

Shout-outs to the lemming who made this excellent comparison that I'll be using anytime someone suggests it "wasn't really..." lemme just stop you there, look at this.

But also, godddamn, the nazis are loving this. they'll make this a sticker and put it up everywhere to celebrate. we're going to be so sick of this image.
