Well, the great news is that this guy doesn't look anything like a god-damned villain...

Every picture I've seen of him is different, and they're all awful.
If you asked me what Thunderf00t would look like if he became a priest instead of a scientist/youtuber this is what id imagine.
Nailed it
Does anybody know why hes wearing a mic while speaking into another mic?
Musk's department of government efficiency arranged the A/V for the event
A bunch of fresh high school graduates, got it.
He hates Jews.

I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.
I'm sure Teen Cosmo has some great coverage as well.
During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy
Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.
You'd think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go "what? How?.."
Like I said elsewhere, I've actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren't being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.
Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.
Oh the memories.
Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.
It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, "It wasn't a Nazi salute, watch I'll show you," and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.
Besides this one, what are the others?
I could use some schadenfreude in my day
This lady who had to resign from her town council after doing it. I thought there was at least one other, but I can't find it now.
They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.
I'm sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.
They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.
This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.
People with no billions to protect them are finding out.
How old is this photo? He definitely didn't have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?
I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn't like women becoming ordained.
No, that's a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.
Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.
Anglican Catholic Church
The church part of the name isn't what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).
Meanings of words evolve. They're refering to the belief system rather than to the original meaning and ethymology. But when you know it does sound funny.
Yeah it's just the Catholics, with their belief in universal authority of the Pope, actually still embody that original etymology. And if there's one group that gets hung up on the original meaning of words in other languages it's theologians. Well, at least non evangelical theologians. Evangelicals like to invent meaning and declare the king James bible divinely inspired so who knows what's going through their minds half the time.

the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing
lol! Basically it’s-
Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!
I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.
Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe "it's not a Nazi salute".
Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!
Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn't fasscy then you're gonna get wrecked.
Ah yes. Elon's salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it's just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it's a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?
Ah yes it's a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it's completely harmless and very mundane.

"While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson's heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition," reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. "Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC."
Obviously they're both doing a Roman Salute!
(Doesn't even need a /s because the Nazi salute is literally the so-called Roman Salute)
It's just the ~~nazi~~ fascist salute. There's no evidence that ancient greeks or romans ever did this.

From what I read it's a copy of what Mussolini thought was a Roman Salute, which was just something he got from a painting which was not at all Historically accurate, so it wasn't actually a salute that the Ancient Romans did.
(I suspect that in Mussolini's time some people born and living in the city of Rome did that salute, so strictly speaking it could be called a Roman Salute 😜)
However many call it a Roman Salute because that's what the Fascists thought it was, hence one could say that the Nazi Salute is also called a Roman Salute.
You're clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?
