Any one of them could have checked to see of whom the group consisted. Dangerously incurious fuckwits, every one.

I gotta say, the simple "do it in public" or "do it at your job" response to the people defending Musk's "not Nazi salute" has worked pretty well. Haven't seen too many responses after that.
