          Ah. English is not my native tongue so I thought hung was the passive form for hang. Sorry, and thanks for correcting me!

            Don’t worry, this is such an obscure language rule that most native-speakers don’t really know it. It’s for the grammar nerds. If you say “hung” in this context, people will know what you mean, but technically, if it’s ever ambiguous, “hanged” is the very specific, very archaic term for execution by hanging.

      If Elon was just doing a Roman salute, then Luigi was just doing an Italian goodbye, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The article says…

    …where the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made two stiff-armed salutes that many interpreted as a fascist gesture.

    Can’t say I care for that characterization. Half the world is trying to gaslight me about this but my fucking eyes work.
