   Hi from 2023, wherein we saw #ElonMusk glom onto a curious theory floated by American neo-Nazis that an American neo-Nazi who shot a bunch of people in Texas is not a neo-Nazi even though he left a digital-trail of Nazi shit and his corpse bears actual fucking swastika tattoos, but if you were to suggest that Musk - a person who almost exclusively canoodles with and amplifies neo-Nazis on his social medium, who trades in boilerplate antisemitic tropes regarding powerful Jews seeking to destroy civilization and who believes that he is a member of a genetic elite whose duty it is to sire as many children as possible for the betterment of humankind - is doing this because he has some kind of vested interest in sanitizing neo-Nazism and that interest is most likely because he holds neo-Nazi beliefs that he is on the record endorsing and thus can pretty fucking easily be called a neo-Nazi, THAT statement on your part would be "controversial."

     Oh, and if a journalist were to actually ask him about this weird confluence of behavior, it would be scandalously untoward, so "journalists" don't.

     Just a big ol fucking elephant sitting right there in the room. Wearing a fucking swastika armband. Sporting a RWDS neck-tat. Reading The Fountainhead. If you're a reporter in that room and you don't ask Elon Musk "what's the deal with the big fucken elephant," there's one thing you are fucking well not and that is a reporter.

     "So anyone who disagrees with YOU is a Nazi.'

     [through a bullhorn] WHEN PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH YOU WHEN YOU SAY NAZIS AND THE BASIC TENETS OF NAZISM ARE BAD, YES. THOSE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING NAZIS. THAT IS HOW THE RUDIMENTARY PROCESSING OF INFORMATION WORKS, YOU DISSEMBLING TWAT.

     > they'll inherit genes which favor higher IQ

     
     Literally debatable and a eugenicist viewpoint, the rest, sure.

     @GrimmReality the one thing you said about Musk which doesn't seem like a fair criticism or character flaw is that if he does believe in making lots of kids

     theres a good argument in favor of it, from his perspective -- they'll inherit genes which favor higher IQ, they'll likely get lots of nutrition, edu, exercise, & have less stressful starts in life than the vast majority of ppl. regardless its a personal choice & part of his private life

     the Nazi & Nazi-adjacent stuff is fair game. heh
