> It shocks me that people have such a visceral, irrational engagement with anything in Musk's orbit. Shocked? DOGE defunded USAID and children's cancer research funding. And have you read his twitter feed lately or seen this video? [VIDEO] I agree that we don't judge his work based strictly on its merits but that's consequence a that he's created by his behavior, and I wouldn't call it brigading. The fact that you're shocked is silly.

The pose, as a static image, looks a little bit like someone waving their whole arm to a large crowd. The video, by contrast, shows a man deliberately engaging in fascist salute gestures : [VIDEO] Pretending otherwise, that is ridiculous.
