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.

Fucking hell, lol. Back in October '23 I reposted some pro-palestinian content on social media from the "jewish voice for peace" organisation, and a guy who recently went on Birthright immediately started DMing me and was posting links to the ADL page claiming that JVP is an antisemitic organisation. Because I am a well-adjusted person, I didn't need verification that the ADL was full of shit, but vindication is always nice.
