Elon Musk

What is this oddball’s tweet (Elon) even about? Two years of peace now war? Wtf.

He’s been openly trying to foment war for at least a year now.

He wants to burn the world down for kicks and lots of whatever type of money he and his Russia and China backed buddies want to replace the US dollar with.

Other countries should follow the example of Brazil in dealing with Musk.

The way Elon Musk wants to run Twitter —with no content moderation, a process he deems too expensive, especially as he wants to amplify far-right disinfo via algorithm—is illegal in most countries, which is why he often battles with foreign governments. Yet when far-right governments demand Musk silence their left-wing opponents, he complies immediately; he’s infamous for agreeing to foreign censorship requests far more than his supposedly censorious predecessors at Twitter. But Brazil is a special case: when Musk was, as a former Donald Trump adviser, seeking to buy Twitter, he was thrilled Brazil was run by far-right neofascist Trump friend Jair Bolsonaro , but then Bolsonaro lost his reelection bid to a left-wing opponent and it greatly angered Musk. Like Trump, Bolsonaro tried to stage a violent coup; unlike Trump, Bolsonaro and his lieutenants faced consequences when their coup plot failed. When Brazilian authorities demanded that the far-right-government-accommodating Elon Musk ban far-right insurrectionists in Brazil, he refused; when Brazil brought Twitter’s local legal rep into court, she resigned; when Brazil ordered Twitter to name a new rep—as Brazilian law requires companies have local legal counsel so they can be notified of lawsuits—Musk flatly refused and began issuing serious threats against Brazilian authorities that were tinged with real menace, leading to Twitter being shuttered in Brazil. The Brazilian Supreme Court has acted within its authority and responsibility, and this situation has nothing to do with free speech. It’s about Musk’s contempt for a validly elected left-wing government, and his nostalgia for a violent neofascist coup.

I believe that Europe will now consider following suit. It’d be brilliant. It wouldn’t solve the issue, as the headbangers would find a new echo chamber to call home, but the non headbanger folk who used twitter wouldnt be subjected to witnessing a diatribe of racism, misogyny and hate under most posts by cowardly keyboard warriors hiding behind faceless profiles. There’s only one way to get to Elon, and that’s to affect his pocketbook. Banning Twitter in Europe would signal a death knell for his already half-sunk advertising revenues.

This is the sort of content Goebbels would have posted had Twitter existed in the 1930s.

Musk’s disinformation war is become is becoming seriously wild now. His tweets are becoming more and more unhinged.

He’s also just endorsed a fawning Tucker Carlson interview of a guy called Darryl Cooper, who is clearly a fan of the Nazis, called Churchill the chief villain of World War II, openly brands himself as a fascist, and who posted this tweet.

The next two months are going to be crazier than you can imagine.

There’s a stench of desperation coming off Elon that seems equal to Trump’s. He must be having Tony Montana end-scene moments with the horse tranquiliser.
