About that Elon Musk "Salute"... [1]

I will keep this brief and to the point, since it is pretty straight-forward:
I am seeing a lot of online pushback from Musk and Trump supporters about the Musk Sieg Heil salute now making waves across the planet, and the claims that it is simply a “Roman Salute” which meant nothing like we crazy mouth breathing Libs are making it out to be. Despite the obvious problematic fact that a quick bit of research refers to the Roman salute as the Fascist Salute, I have a suggestion for those who defend and support it:
Do it.
Take a video of you doing it and post it to your own Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or social media outlet of your choice. It is harmless right? That is what you are telling everyone, correct? Do it in public when you greet folks, the cashier at the grocery store, or the family gathering you next attend. Send it to your boss as a greeting. Put it in the next company-wide email. It is just a friendly gesture according to you and so it should be made your thing, amirite? Own the Libs is what you are all about, so go ahead and do it. Show everyone how we are overreacting and everyone knows its just harmless and loving. You know, like giving your heart to the crowd as you say Elon was doing. Go ahead, do it and own it since it is so innocuous. Put your money where your mouth is.
I dare you.
