      Maybe it was too cold outside for Musk to have his baby in the Baby-Bjorn bullet catcher vest.

    There is no such thing as a roman salute, that’s a fascist salute.

      Let’s not kid ourselves.
      It’s a Hitler salute with just enough variation thrown in for “plausible” deniability.
      You can see the strained look on his face, concentrating to get it just right. Probably practiced in front of a mirror.

      You should see the nazis on Wikipedia desperately trying to edit the entry for Roman Salute in an attempt to remove the word fascist.

        Isn’t the word “Fascism” derived from a Roman symbol of power?

        Rome and Fascism aren’t exactly from separate peninsulas

          It’s derived from the Fasces, which is a bundle of sticks used as a symbol of office by civil rulers in Rome, which the fascists then “stole” as a symbol and a representation of “many together strong, one alone weak”. If you stick an axe in the bundle it becomes a military (or armed) symbol of power. This depiction is even used as a symbol in the Swedish police coat of arms

          The root word are still used in some areas, such as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascine

          Right. But that train of thought is too complex for them, they don’t even know they’re alone on a single speeding caboose.

      It’s like when a kid flips off their teacher but uses their ring finger. They’ll try to claim innocence because they didn’t actually use their middle finger.
