    I don't know the context of that gesture, but the ADL (Jewish Anti-Defamation League) defended Musk and said that it was not a Nazi salute. Tempest in a teapot kind of thing, unless you are a devotee of the Fake News.

    What we are seeing right now is the Swamp in full panic mode as Elon and the whiz kids in DOGE are finding unbelievable waste, fraud and abuse in government (what a shocker!) It is the Swamp that is paying goons to trash Tesla's and hold phony protests because they are seeing their lifeblood, corrupt funding, getting exposed and stopped. Can you imagine? These so-called protesters are protesting against cutting waste, fraud and abuse!

    I think there may be some overkill here as to the tariffs.

    The penguins are at least trying. Ever since J.D. Vance critisized Zelensky about coming to the Whitehouse wearing "a track suit", the penguins on Heard Island have all taken to wearing tuxedos.

    P.S. Pressure from the penguins who were threatening retallitory reciprical tariffs were so frightening, that Trump folded like a cheap lawn chair and placed a 90 day pause on all tariffs. (except for China)
    Penguins:1
    Trump:0

    It was the strategic smelt reserve. The penguins control it ruthlessly.

    That's why you don't know why they are burning Tesla's dealerships in Europe. He did this during Trump's post inauguration. Watch it here (1:03 min. on.):

    Having now seen the video, I saw a newbie political activist waving his arms wildly in exuberance and doing all kinds of hand and arm gestures throughout the video. In Italy, some were calling his "salute" a "Roman salute" because it was actually much closer to that than a Nazi salute. As I mentioned previously, the Jewish AntiDefamation League, no shrinking violets when it comes to fighting Neo-Nazi's, said that they were gestures of enthusiasm. Tesla's are being burned around the world because thugs are being paid to burn them (by the Swamp and their global collaborators) and because it is a crime that is looks easy to copycat by dunces. The thugs being paid will not be caught. Most of the dunces will.
