Some people defending Elon’s gesture at the inauguration claimed it was a Roman salute. Now people are mad at Elon and vandalizing Teslas, seemingly owned by random people, and this meme is jokingly making the same dumb excuse.
Ok but they accidentally made the bottom left one look kind of cool
ROMANES EUNT DOMUS
This makes me wonder what’s the earliest dick pic. Like is there one in a cave lol
How is vandalizing random people’s cars doing anything to Musk? You’re just ruining some poor bastards day lol
Drawing swastikas to protest Nazis is kinda weird ngl
For anyone who wants to know there’s zero evidence of the Roman salute ever being used by the romans
Why do ppl do things like this
Locked award incoming
No that’s still vandalism lol
people that do this stuff probably don’t even have a car.
People are disgusting.
I don’t understand the vandalizing of the Teslas I mean I get it. It’s his car but what did the car do? It’s good for the environment. I understand it’s horrible because of the salute he did but these are people’s cars they spent money on and they didn’t do anything wrong. They didn’t buy the car because they liked Elon as a person. After learning that it’s because it was good for the environment that’s just like shooting random Germans because German people used to be Nazis
Romanes Eunt Domus
So we should be spray painting swastikas on all Volkswagens if this logic works?
Elon Musk has been in the news for his “Nazi Salute”, and defended himself by claiming it’s actually a “Roman Salute”.
This meme is riffing off of his self-defence. If what he did was really a “Roman Salute”, then the poster is claiming that this isn’t really “vandalism”, it’s a “Roman Paint Job”.
elon did a salute that many people believed was a n*zi salute at president trump’s inauguration (you can look it up and decide it). many of the defenders said it was a roman salute and completely okay. so, this meme is mocking elon’s defenders of those actions.
I am going to assume you aren’t a US citizen but basically Elon is a not-see and did a little salute in front of the press (twice) during Trump’s inauguration. Now, this salute is used for very bad people, so some people have decided that if you own a Tesla product, you’re a not-see as well and 110% support the jerkwad. I myself do not support this mindset (perhaps they didn’t know or like the “uniqueness” of a Cybertruck design) but alas, fools will “stick it to the man” by keying some random person’s personal belongings because THAT IS US POLITICS BABY!!! LEFT, RIGHT, YOU BREAK IT, YOU BLAME YOUR NEIGHBORS!!!! 🦅🦅🦅💥💥💥

People called Romanes they go the house.

It’s funny because these cars are insured and so there isn’t any “real” damage, more of a nuisance.
Keep it up
Ngl. The paintwork on bottom left looks sick. Reminds me of those colorful cars that 6ix9ine drove.
