Note that Bannon and Musk represent opposite sides of the US far right (Traditionalist populism vs technocracy). The fascist salutes aren't coming one faction of the "Conservative" movement, this is now a powerful cross section of its leadership.
Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

BREAKING: Bestie @daveclarkreports.bsky.social is on the ground in Damascus and I couldn’t be prouder
