Tbh at this point I’m convinced articles like this are just life support trying to claw back as many Musk dick riders back into normies.
It’s good work, and I think it should be done, but yeah, this is exactly what a sane person would expect to see given all the context.
It’s not news to most, but to the audience that I think this sort of thing is going after, it genuinely might be news to them.
Not that this article alone would get anyone to drop their fanboy bs, but it seems like it’s intended to be a tool to facilitate that. As for why it’s here specifically in world news, probably in case anyone wants to use it as a facilitation tool for anyone in their lives. Can’t use what you don’t know exists and all that lol
Elon Musk is still a mixed bag in the broader public. There is still a lot of messaging to get out there and that will help people realize what he is. Not everyone is as terminally online as we are lol
Elon utilises rightwing to create chaos and make bank off of it, not because he personally loves Hitler. It is good to keep distinctions separate. The problem stems from ultracapitalists and businessmen being sociopaths and even narcissists.
A nut job that is a byproduct of seeking profit from rightwing appeal, NOT a rightwinger from the beginning itself. The nuance is critical to map out how these clowns are created in society, to establish a set of blueprints as examples for common knowledge.
He is not a victim. He chose to “capitalise” on rightwing audience appeal like a capitalist businessman. But there is nuance and its best understood instead of ending up having another circlejerk on how Musk bad, as we know sky is blue and water is wet. I was one of the first to find what a piece of shit he is, before the world considered it cool. I used to think of him back then and tell it as US government creating a “science poster boy” of USA, replacing Bill Gates in the media.
Ok. As far as nuance, I still assert he is a cause, not an effect. His choice to capitalize on rightwing audience doesn’t mean he didn’t already hold those beliefs. I got the impression, perhaps mistakenly, that you were asserting that he adopted those beliefs because there’s a market for them; I would argue he adopted that audience because they share beliefs he already had.
This would align him with many others who came from similar privilege. In fact, I’m more skeptical of those born in privilege who publicly denounce right wing ideology (although I absolutely do my best to judge by their actions when possible), given that concerning the status quo is obviously in their self interest.
Our apparent disagreement may be, at least partially, due to semantics. Yet, the words we choose do matter. I appreciate the thoughtful debate in either case!
I like to have these kind of debates. Its only when thoughtful thinkers (not armchair bros and sisters) can discuss with good faith and nuance that a lot of problems can be resolved.
That’s who Elon wants on his side, so I’m not sure why this is even news.

Yeah pretty much, this isn’t accomplishing anything. Anyone who still can’t see the fascist empire for what it is at this point will never see it.

He is a right-wing nut job who creates chaos. Not the other way around. They flock to him because he is one of their own.

Nuh uh. He’s not a victim. He’s part of the problem, and always has been. Don’t make excuses for that sociopathic freak.
