Also known as a Nazi Salute. Have a look at the archives. Lots of footage to cross check. But yes, originally known as the Roman salute. What it symbolises of course is, erm, well read a history book https://t.co/dOouGZ6RH1

Otherwise known as the salute used by Nazi Germany. Not a people we aspire to be.

Yeah, @Telegraph, it’s not “an odd-looking salute,” you turnips.
It’s a very distinctive one. You know…a NAZI ONE. https://t.co/6fSTkGZ3Gk pic.twitter.com/E8wrEQyVyi

Heading to Rome in two weeks – hadn’t realised this is how they wave but can’t WAIT to try it out along with my duolingo Italian! https://t.co/kvXC3IOzkO

Last word – well, almost, to someone who definitely knows a thing or two about this.
I am one of those who would be hesitant before labelling Musk’s gesture a “fascist” salute. But please, it has nothing to do with the (real) ancient Romans.

To conclude …
How a Nazi salute can be edited from history, passed off as a joke and we all carry on, as if nothing happened. https://t.co/HN5oM8z9MI
