    …Musk used an arm gesture, twice, that resembled the Roman salute adopted by the Nazis.

    Huffington Post also too fucking jellospined to actually say that the fuckwit did indeed throw the Nazi salute. Twice.

      It isn’t a Roman salute. It was a French painters idea of what the Romans did (based on absolutely nothing), which was appropriated by the fascist movement of Mussolini (who only dreamt of being Romans).

      It’s blatantly wrong, and this is a purely fascist thing. They are the only ones in history every using the salute.

      I honestly would like to know what that French painter would think about all this.
