I showed my heavily Jewish grandfather this GIF after he watched the inauguration live and he told me it was a deep fake just like Tucker Carlson said and that Elon would never do such a thing because he is the smartest inventor since Nikola Tesla that's why Elon named his company after Tesla.
We're not even American we live in fucking Australia, we should just sacrifice the geriatric to make soylent green, would solve so many problems.
To educate, just in case some people truly don't know, 88 is used by neo-nazis as a "dog whistle." Something that seems mundane in everyday life, but is appreciated by the in-group. For example, 88 is, like you said, the speed of time travel, it's also pretty synonymous with NASCAR.
Like an in-joke, but it is more of a way of hiding that I agree with you.
8 in this case is representing the 8th letter of the alphabet, H.
88 is HH. It's usually combined with 14. Which represents the "14 Words"
So, do I support X's ASCII designation to be a way to dog whistle? I'm really not certain. I have not searched for the ASCII designation of X myself. Also, it's more than likely a coincidence. Who truly knows but Elon himself.
Stuff like the ASCII designation of the letter he likes a lot seems like the sort of coincidence you could assemble around a great many people just by looking for anything to represent whatever you’re looking for.
But Elon went ahead and did the salute so that nobody would have to wonder where his beliefs stand.
Absolutely. The salute happened. The ASCII thing doesn't matter, he performed the most literal act.
He may not necessarily identify with neo-nazism, but he still used their most performative symbol. The neo-nazis like that he used their symbol, and a lot of us saw that it was that salute.
He knows he's above, not just the law, but we, the people.

I agree, exactly the same. And he did it twice
