I'm calling it. In 2 months he will be proudly wearing a toothbrush mustache. And the headlines will say "Musk is brining back Charlie Chaplin's mustache".

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm looking at r/Conservative, Gab, and other far-right outlets to see what is happening with the incoming administration, and all I can say is what the actual fuck
Absolutely incredible to see the ADL defending overt Nazism. I guess these days the only way you can be antisemitic is to oppose genocide.
What's it like in those outlets? I don't have the courage to go in there myself, those idiots make me feel angry and sad.
Trump doing tons of shit was the first thing I saw. The "Migrants weep in Mexico as Trump admin cancels all appointments for Biden's CBP One app immediately after swearing in" one in particular though, they're not even pretending to not be horrible people anymore.
Gab is largely similar right now but in Twitter format instead, and people posting super Christiany stuff also. Apparently their founder was one of the people resharing the Elon salute, while r/Conservative likes to pretend they aren't Nazis while still being Nazis

Somebody's upset that he wasn't the center of attention for a few hours.
So, if Space Channel 5 Part 2 is any indicator of reality, we can take control of the President from Elon Musk by having Lady Gaga copy Elon's moves perfectly in a dance battle. We can then proceed to use Starlink to fire a laser back at Elon by channeling the power of the 83 million or so people watching this and dancing along into one funkified force, saving the world once and for all, though on occasion we may need Lady Gaga to race in a futuristic vehicle with Sonic in a few racing games..
Look it's less ridiculous than the shit hat's actually going on, so I think it's worth a shot.

Did he actually or is this just a lucky still of a movement?
Ah yeah saw the video now, pretty clear.
Doesn't surprise me that he is a Nazi. Just surprised that he can pull this off so openly.
Have we learnt nothing?
Great. They've gone from dog whistles to bullhorns. :|
They've been using bullhorns for quite a while now.
This is just to distract us from the debacle over his PoE 2 characters.
You just know Don is going to be furious that Elon has stolen the limelight today.
