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.

Thanks for a cogent analysis with novel insight. I feared a shitpost but now I'm really glad I clicked.

No problem. But in case you were disappointed that you didn’t get the shitpost you feared, here’s tomorrow’s headline: “twitter character limit increased to 1488”

No no, he'll just change it so that all posts must be 14 words. Much less obvious.
