Divided between "Unacceptable" and "F* Unacceptable"

[@leighsherval1023]

It would make sense if Elon regularly talked about... The Romans..

[@Calcearius]

The amount of people that evidently failed history is worrying.

[@explanitorium6462]

The expression on his face tells you what he meant. His haircut is looking a bit dangerous too.

Is it possible the ketamine made him do it?

[@alimantado373]

🤣 Man was 'tripping' his eyes were backwards in his eye sockets during the Inaugeration speech!

@@alimantado373yup he was out in mars at that moment. The evil reptilian

[@steven5054]

Did it also lead to him supporting far-right parties in Europe too? Hmm...

[@geelangfordo3272]

I've done ketamine and managed to not start goose stepping.

[@orsemcore]

0:55 oh yes mate, because i'm sure there's many situations we all encounter where we have to express our love to a crowd.

[@shauncowell6215]

Compile a list of celebrities / musicians who perform live daily, who have done anything remotely similar to this whilst expressing their love to large crowds?

[@orsemcore]

@ I have just found that Hilary & Obama once made the same gesture, in the same context, with less enthusiasm; and they were never called out for it.

The country will need a straitjacket in less than a year. The world will follow.

Rhose of you defending him, dont forget to wear your poppy in November

[@cyndimoring9389]

Musk is testing us all. Like all naughty children.

[@TrishaCobbs]

Yes I agree. Even though its very disgusting what he did ,the way he did it , the smirk, continuing like nothing happened but looking for a signal from his " classmates "😉. Its gross & he's a man child.

[@cyndimoring9389]

@@TrishaCobbs thank you. Yes I raised 2 boys and taught high school. Lately I've seen Musk's behavior and place him at around 14 years old.

[@GarethDavies-b8p]

When I saw this yesterday I thought 'uh oh,wonder who will be the first to talk about this tomorrow' 🤔😂

There is no roman salute. It doesn’t exist.

and look how that ended

[@SewerShark]

Portraying Musk and Trump as "idiots" is downplaying the risks they represent to democracies and civil rights in the US and the world.

[@ageoflove1980]

Well if his goal was to grab attention, it worked.

[@Sam-ci6sl]

He doesn't have a heart, cares about mars more than any human

[@jayH-n1k]

he was defiantly squashing a ant on his chest, two ants, trust me

[@sophial.6633]

Laura Ingram did the same salute and they made excuses for her too. They are showing us who they are. Loud and clear.
