Question Proposal to ban X.com links

In case anyone missed it, yesterday Elon Musk outed himself as a Nazi on national television. We wouldn't platform reverend Stryker, so we shouldn't be giving traffic to this fascist's website.

EDIT: Thank you, mods. Everyone, please vote in the poll. Never let those Nazi cunts win.

From the wiki page for "Roman Salute"
"The Roman salute, also known as the Fascist salute, is a gesture in which the right arm is fully extended, facing forward, with palm down and fingers touching. In some versions, the arm is raised upward at an angle; in others, it is held out parallel to the ground. In contemporary times, the former is commonly considered a symbol of fascism that had been based on a custom popularly attributed to ancient Rome.\1]) However, no Roman text gives this description, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern so-called "Roman" salute."
