What’s everyone’s thoughts on Elon doing that *roman* (Nazi) salute \ stacker news ~culture

The Bellamy salute is a palm-out salute created by James B. Upham as the gesture that was to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America, whose text had been written by Francis Bellamy. It was also known as the "flag salute" during the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance. Bellamy promoted the salute and it came to be associated with his name. Both the Pledge and its salute originated in 1892.

Musk is a troll. Suspect he knew what he was doing and is expecting outrage. He will get what he wants from the idiots that learned nothing over the past 9 years.

This is a nice article about the nazi salute. Not saying you are wrong, I know very little about the topic, moreover, the Bellamy salute is discussed in the article too.

Jacques-Louis David’s painting The Oath of the Horatii (1784) depicts a scene of his own invention in which, before the fateful battle in which two of them will perish, the three brothers Horatii swear an oath to their father that they will kill all the Curiatii or die themselves fighting on behalf of the Roman state. The painting shows the brothers raising their hands in a straight-arm salute, with their palms facing the ground and their fingers pointing out.

I thought he was doing the X logo from space X, because it shoots off to the sky like a rocket. I don't think he realised. But at least the almighty Zuck copped a load of Lauren's tits, that took the heat off a bit

Don't care, but those that hate him and Trump will make a big deal about it. Trying to stoke fear in the weak minded. Not a fan of either men but who cares.

Was just unnecessary. Doesn't accomplish anything and imo will just make things harder to accomplish in the future.

Nothing new, really. Many people already knew who he is, but very few spoke about it. Now everybody knows, and many are talking about it.
