If you have ever taken the time to listen to what Donald Trump has to say, you may have noticed how predatorial, manipulative, and downright evil his rhetoric is. As highlighted in this clip from the Daily Show, it’s not only disturbing but also undeniable the similarities between the alt-right and the Nazi discourse. In my world, words matter. Actions matter.
I personally have never “accidentally” given the Nazi salute, or the Roman salute for that matter, in front of the entire nation, the entire world. As a socially awkward person I would practice my presentation over and over again to make sure I get it right. Regardless of social ineptitude, the speech delivered by Elon Musk should have been rehearsed many times over due to its general significance in US history. In tandem with his failure to denounce his gesture as a Nazi salute, Musk’s history, personality, and self-appointed intelligence all point to an intentional publicity stunt. This salute has obviously been interpreted as a fascist gesture by both fascists and anti-fascists.
