It's always easiest and most accurate to assume musk is saying something dumb and racist and dumber than your initial cold reading of what he says, because his brain is rotted cottage cheese on a diet of weird Twitter nazi stupidity, and he was never smart to begin with.
Worrying amount of people who never watched Glass Onion commenting on his tweets in here.

"Hmm, what are the historical themes he is inviting the reader to draw upon in order to craft a narrative here?"

None. He's an idiot who half remembered the IRA used to blow people up, has attached completely the wrong reason for them doing that, and is trying to goad them into blowing up Africans now.

Which hopefully if they do, they start with one particular African and leave it there.

Reminds me of how the writer of Glass Onion said he mostly based the character on a couple of billionaires and that it was meant to portray them all as stupid but Musk's freaks were all like "no, this borderline cognitively impaired moron is obviously our dear leader, how dare you!"

John Swinney's just made wee free nutjob Kate Forbes his deputy. If there was any justice in the world, having a homophobic member of an anhedonic teuchter sect that hates abortion as DFM would consign the SNP to eternal electoral irrelevance, but I've got a sinking feeling this will actually make them more popular.

I will simply remind the Honourable Member that the TERF in Chief, Joanna Cherry, is MP for Edinburgh South West while John Mason, proper heidbanger that he is, is MSP for Glasgow Shettleston & before that was an MP for Glasgow East & a Glasgow City Council councillor. A man who once argued that Young Earth Creationism should be taught in schools because it can't be disproven by science. A man who used the slogan "Both Lives Matter" in 2019 as part of his regular anti-abortion crusade

The only reason Swinney is leader without a fight is because he clearly promised her the gig. Must admit, I can't see me voting SNP anymore, even at Westminster where the electoral system ensures wee parties stand no chance. I wasn't going at Holyrood anyway because Fergus Ewing is a contemptible poo poo, but nah, not touching this party.

He's at best a middle of the road non-entity. A steady hand party functionary. He was leader in the 2000s when Salmond first stepped down & well, fair to say he's not remembered at all. And that he's willing to sell out Scotland to religious headbangers & TERFs for the sake of party unity says nothing positive.

He's been in government in Scotland for like 25 years straight, and was the leader for 4 years until he was forced out due to not having a working plan for independence.

Also apparently fiscally a conservative and with Forbes in as deputy, socially too.

Would be funny if the Greens threaten to vote him out for this.

Imagine a terribly boring yet competent accountant, who holds no strong opinions on anything.

You have imagined John Swinney.

I expect that there will be a confidence/supply agreement with the Greens as... Tories are toxic, Labour have an insane tribal hatred of the SNP and the Liberals are just poo poo.

Hard to imagine appointing Forbes has helped the chances of making a deal with the greens, though. Maybe he can get them briefly on board with some platitudes but at some point he's going to have to actually do a policy or two and choose one of them to piss off

OK yes, but that was before Cameron decided to open the referendum box and plunge the UK into a forever constitutional crisis. The SNP are just as toxic to the Tories as the Tories are to the SNP now.

If the parliamentary Greens want to maintain any influence (and I expect they do) then they'll probably be pragmatic in supporting SNP budgets and abstaining on stuff they dislike. I think it helps them electorally, by peeling off SNP list votes, and also freezes Alba out of the equation.

Swinney apparently said his priority in government is combating child poverty. The journalist who reported that noted this was the opening line for Yousaf and Sturgeon before him, both of whom didn't really make much of a mark there because of Westminster austerity being the base cause.
