    At first I thought it was blown out of proportion, too. After watching the video, I can only say that if he did that in Germany, he would have been arrested on stage. Let’s see what topic-relatedly, profoundly knowledgeable Benito Mussolini, allegedly, had to say:

    “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

    Ah, ok, thanks Benito! Enjoy your fascism that you voted for, America. I hope those egg prices will go down (they won’t).

      They might, since deregulation is another of Trump’s plans. Then the producers can save money by not bothering to keep dangerous substances out of the food, or the water, or the air… and pass those “savings” on to the consumers.

        More likely that they pocket those savings for extra profit and the prices stay the same.

    Ok, so imagine that you’re a billionaire and a really smart dude (as claimed by so many people on the internet). And you get into government and appear on TV and want to look good. You might hire a publicist, a PR team, some speechwriters, hell how about a body language consultant. When you go on TV you’re going to project exactly the image you intend to. Anything less would be careless and stupid, right?

    So yeah. This was a Nazi salute. And if you really want to argue that it wasn’t, that Musk doesn’t even know what a Nazi is, you gotta also accept that he’s grossly incompetent and should not be in government at all. Throw him out, we didn’t vote for him.

    You know what’s worse than a guy waving his arm around?

    Women and children actually being murdered in Gaza.

    It’s funny that this gets so much outrage but the genocide in Gaza isn’t causing as much hysteria.
