dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Any decent person would, upon realizing that a gesture they made at a huge public event was being interpreted as a Nazi salute, simply make an announcement on the social media website they own explaining it was not their intent, what their actual intent was.

To my knowledge musk did none of this and was actually kind of coy about it? That's enough to assume it was intended as a Nazi salute.
