Okay, I’m trying to stay out of politics, but I saw the video of Musk’s “controversial gesture.” He did it. Twice. It wasn’t just an exuberant gesture–it was what it was, straight from history, the straight armed salute, missing only the audio “Sieg Heil!” You don’t even have to know that he financially supports Germany’s Af Party. You don’t even have to know he’s meddling in Britain’s politics–supporting racist far right policies and attacking Labor. When somebody shows you who they are, believe them.

He’s not an elected leader, but he’s supposedly part of Trump’s shadow cabinet. So we project to the world that fascism is alive and well in this new administration. Sure, there are good people on both sides.
