    Ok, rather than edit my reply to AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor, I’ll reply again here because your comment helped the penny drop, and I’ve read the conversation again now realising that the reference to the hand gesture is to the dickhead’s salute, so I get the first comment, not sure about the “roman hug”, and assuming the last person is being sarcastic, saying what someone on the right might say because that’s how they defend musk?

    Sorry, my brain isn’t entirely in gear yet and I think there may be too many levels of sarcasm overlapping 😂

      not sure about the “roman hug”,

      Lots of the far right saying he was giving a “roman salute”. All of it is the defenses for Musk applied to Luigi Mangione.

        Ah, see I’d seen that, but (before I realised the musk salute connection) I thought a roman hug was a reference to its own thing (like maybe getting stabbed in the back?), rather than just a tongue in cheek reference to the roman salute.

        Thanks for the help 😂
