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.
Oh yes, some people did recognise that the arm gesture in question may have been used by the Romans. Very neutral, we all know the Romans were around a long time ago, so..

People is going crazy with these b/w filter just to make variations of Elon's 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?

You can just say "Does a nazi salute"
Yeah, stop giving Elon a perpetual boner by calling this an "Elon" salute. Give credit where credit is due. Like you could say, I just took a giant Elon and everyone would indeed know what you meant, but you really should just say you took a big shit.
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.
During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy

Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.
Oh the memories.

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".
It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.
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.
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 worships the "Turn the other cheek" guy, right?
The "love your neighbors" guy?
The "unconditional love" guy?
Just want to make sure I fully understand.
No. He's lying about that part. He worships his own ego.

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

"Nazi salute"
FTFY
it was just a joke bro, just get on the train, trust me bro
Proverbs 26:18-19
Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “I was only joking!”
... Gamer Priest?
I am just imagining like a Christian BF42 server that bans you for swearing, but a lan party of such people, in a church.
They only play Christian games, like Binding of Isaac

People with no billions to protect them are finding out.
Say Nazi in the title, you fucking cowards. Sprinkle on some allegedly if you have to. You know goddamn well what it was.

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.
It's hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.
He's not Catholic.
Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)
The "Anglican Catholic Church" is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the "actual" Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).
He joined it because he didn't make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of
concerns about Robinson's "libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical" political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

Not according to the Catholic church. They're not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

The irony is, just by looking at him, this is exactly the type of person Hitler wanted to exterminate.
This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.
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.

Good. Fuck nazis.
the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing
