The Ancient Romans would be puzzled by the use of the Hitler salute in films and TV shows about them. It was apparently invented in the late 19th century and used in theater productions about antiquity.

Looking for a variety of ways to describe Co-President Elon Musk? No problem!

The Nazi references aren't gratuitous. We all know about his Hitler salute. But there's a connection between MAGA and apartheid.

Once I discovered that cartoonist Clay Jones was liberal with his use of Easter eggs, I started to spend more time searching for them.
In this one, for example, I found the apartheid era South African flag on Musk's space capsule.

Contrary to what you see on TV shows and in films, there is no historical evidence of Ancient Romans using the Hitler salute.
The closest thing is this classic statue of Augustus pointing at something with his elbow bent and his fist mostly closed.

@Free_Press the sheer fact that @Bundesregierung and @AuswaertigesAmt as well as @bmi neither condemned #ElonMusk for his illegal #ElectionInterference and #HitlerSalute is appauling...

  • If I ever did that shite, I'd have some police officers "Miranda" me on my doorstep within minutes and I'd have a citation in the mail within 3 days!

A meteorologist in Wisconsin was fired for comments on social media which were critical of Elon Musk's Hitler salute. The critical comments had nothing to do with her job.
BTW, Musk just made a video appearance at a rally for Germany's far right AfD party. He feels a need to remind people daily that he loves Nazism.

Sales of Teslas are tanking in Europe. When the company's owner goes out of his way to give Hitler salutes and prove what a toxic James Bond villain he is, business is bound to suffer.

"Surprising history" of #NaziSalute

"In Germany, gestures like the one Mr. Musk made are illegal, along with other symbols & slogans from the Nazi era. (On Wednesday night, anti-Musk protesters projected an image showing his salute & the words “Heil Tesla” onto the facade of his company’s German factory.)"

"“A Hitler salute is a #HitlerSalute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote…"
