The irony of all of this is that musk could of responded to Media Matters with ''looking into it'' and that would of been the end of it.

I don't think this one's going away.

Like, in effect, Musk tweeted the following message:

"Hitler did nothing wrong. Since the Nazis were defeated, the Jews have been allowed to undermine the white race, unleashing the uncontrollable hordes of dark-skinned immigrants that are now invading and destroying the Western world. The great irony is that, in doing so, the Jews have brought about their own destruction."

When people were like 'holy poo poo what the gently caress lol', Musk didn't retract the statement or declare it some kind of horrible mistake but instead clarified that he was specifically referring to his recent squabble with the Anti-Defamation League. So, straight up: "Hitler would have supported me in my struggle against the Anti-Defamation League (and similar 'Jew-run' organizations like Media Matters, CNN, etc.), because they're trying to silence my white supremacist rhetoric".

Musk has also clarified that he doesn't see his statements as antisemitic, because he's sought out a couple of right-wing jewish people like Ben Shapiro to support his pro-Hitler stance.

Moreover, he's so internet-poisoned that he believes the public will all rally behind him if he's simply allowed to explain the above calmly and rationally.

idk if u read the article but he's just some guy who looks like some other guy who is in a nazi group and twitter internet detectives determined that he was said nazi based on goon face blindness

it's even worse than that - they misidentified him as a nazi but also with the suggestion that he was a fed infiltrating a neo-nazi group.

so not only was he made to look like a nazi to regular people but also the neo nazis think he's a federal government plant and want him dead

Right; Musk openly styles himself as a champion of the white race, fighting the liberal Jews who oppose him. Musk doesn't see this as a problem, though, because (as noted in the tweet that set this off) he wants to help protect the Jews from their own destruction at the hand of the immigrant horde. (The implicit point is that the Jews ultimately would have had it better under Hitler.)

To this end, Musk is promoting a 'commonsense', multicultural nazism where hard-right people of all races ally with white supremacists to defeat the liberals and socialists spreading degeneracy. And, if that's the case, can you really call Musk a white supremacist???

In effect: "Hitler did nothing wrong; the Jews were simply wrong to oppose him. I am likewise doing nothing wrong; the Jews are simply wrong to oppose me".

It is morally wrong to disagree with Musk in any capacity, at least in his own fantasyland.

He is always right and incapable of making actual mistakes.

Disagreements are either because someone else is clearly biased, delusional, a bad person, or operating out some kind of conspiracy. You see how that escalates.

This is glorious. Absolutely glorious. This person is trying to explain how Elon posting double exclamation marks in response shouldn't be assumed as believing debunked pizzagate conspiracies with lovely sources but then Elon is like "yeah but he was arrested right?"

Mr. "do your own research" and "critical thinking" is literally just taking images of headlines as gospel truth. Same with that one saying Peter Buttigeig's friend raped 500 kids, he's just like "wow what a shocking statement which I'm gonna assume is true."

He's literally a Facebook granma. I wonder if the "remove headline embeds" decision was actually someone manipulating him in the hopes he'd stop trusting every headline he scrolled by while high. Are any of these things getting community notes? That seems to be the only thing that stops him assuming everything on twitter is true.

He's not anti-semite or racist, or anything! He wants the best for humanity, you're just twisting his words around!

All right, now time to look at an average tweet reply form Mr. Humanity-Saver:



He was likely a racist shithead to begin with, but he is fast getting radicalized to the point where anything shockingly "woke" to him is just something that happens to mention the existence of POC.


Holy poo poo, he literally thinks this makes him look intimidating. I've been an awkward nerd my entire life, and stuff like this makes me just want to beat him up and take his lunch money.

Yeah I was just coming in to post this, he isn’t even trying to appear smart or well-informed anymore, it’s baffling. He’s just scrambling to be part of the conversation in the most zero-effort, credulous way possible. He’s become a loving reply guy

Anyone not incredibly online would expect the Genius Of Our Age to be penning insightful and fact-supported essays or at least pithy quotable summaries of the issues of the day, but he’s just retweeting and going “wow” and “is this true???” Like not even googling a name

He didn't have to pay for Twitter. But he did, yet even then he didn't have to forcibly insert himself as the centerpiece. But he did. And now you can't just use Twitter like one would Tiktok, Meta, etc. It feels like it's increasingly more about whether you're pro or anti-Elon, and that seems like....less than an ideal plan for long term sustainability.
