The claim that the salute has its origins in ancient Rome is dubious at best and ignores the fact that the salute is immediately associated with Nazism. Not a single Roman work of art depicts the salute. Don’t you think that’s a little fishy? There is evidence that it actually originated from the National Fascist Party, under Mussolini. Suffice to say there’s no good evidence that it originated from ancient Rome as opposed to it being a relatively new thing starting from the turn of the 20th century and originating in fascism.
Roman salute comes from rome indeed.
Its historical indeed, namely q930s.
Coincidentally made by the same people who invented faschsim, coincidentally named faschists.
They are both doing it wrong. Nazis don’t even know how to do it properly xD.
Hitler is doing his own salute wrong?
What do you mean? Hitler is doing the Roman salute. Which is not what Musk was doing in this video.

Read a single fucking book.
Exactly.
Do you have any historical references to Romans doing that? Cause all I can find are fascists doing a salute called a Roman salute.
