That’s exactly what Elon Musk wants, and what could be expected from a South African white supremacist raised on the fortunes of an Emerald mine.
I don’t think Musk cares one way or another, it’s too much to ask that he has principles. He just wants people to look up to him and mysteriously it’s that group. So he’ll gorgle their balls as long as they gorgle his.
No you are wrong. Musk constantly align himself with the Maga crowd, the anti liberal and anti woke. If he is not an extreme right totalitarian, he sure acts like one. Of course he is also a narcissist and without principles. But being without principles doesn’t mean being without opinions.
FWIW the maga crowd is obviously down with being part of a cult of personality. It’s easy to stand in front of them, say edgy shit, and be showered with praise.
If that’s the case, he did keep them well hidden until he started going totally off the rails (and left particularly hasn’t liked that). Though there’s a possibility he kept them hidden just with money.
You have to keep in mind Saudi Arabia are the real owners of Twitter, sure their interests are aligned with Musk generally but you’re missing some important context if you boil it all down to Musk.

Musk constantly repeats this - the “woke mind virus” of cancel culture. In other words, progressives are intolerant and want to erase all those who do not share their values of change, such as gender equality, gender identity, the rejection of discrimination and racism.
Musk, who is familiar with racial issues because he was born and raised in South Africa at the time of the racist Apartheid regime, did not miss the opportunity to comment and concluded that the media has become racist towards White people.
It’s hard to summarize into just a single statement. It’s not like Musk has stated himself that he is racist, but it becomes evident if you pay attention.
Musk is a despicable person through and through, but just how deep it goes is not immediately self evident. You figure things out over time if you pay attention. For instance note how his exes talk about him, and note how he was with Amber Heard while she was still married to Johnny Depp.
There is so much trash on Musk, it’s not like I have to make things up to make him look worse.
There are a few facists further right than Stalin (who was a far right fascist), not just Hitler.
Sadly the right is on the rise everywhere and not solely due to twitter, they just give it a more visible voice
Maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends on the country. In Canada, the right is mocked into oblivion and the message is pretty fucking clear that we do not want the shit that is happening in the US to slowly creep it’s way here. Really happy with the progress we’ve done to push these brainwashed fascists away.
Idk man, I’m in the US so my perspective is limited to media, but I do see things like the trucker convoys that make me worried that Canada has its own problems with the far right.
Oh i’m not trying to hide it, we do. But trust me, these people were mocked at, pissed on, laughed at and got humiliated. À l’instar of 40% of our population, it’s tiny little 5% that mostly reside in Alberta and no one really care about their existence. Huuuuuuuuge difference with the US but we see it, we watch, we are learning.
Have you not noticed how all the polls have put the Conservatives well in the lead for the popular vote ever since Poilievre took over and started pandering to fascists? The right is mocked online, but Poilievre stands a real chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. Canada is suffering a serious lurch to the right.
I have some intelligent and caring friends and it boggles my mind how they still think Musk is a “net positive”. Every day we hear some new example of his recklessness, support of extremist regimes, double standards and generally making the lives of people around him worse.
Like the American right.
like Rupert murdoch came to the US first lol. He’s the cancer behind it all.
One of my motivations behind leaving.
It used to be a place for discussion of ideas. Now almost every story about has hundreds of comments, mostly hating on one group of people or another.
