No F-ing way this guy did this shit. I'm almost convinced he does the dumbest shit to stir the headlines over and over. But then I probably give too much credit to a fool. Millions died you fuckin' derelict.

Since nobody posted a link and the article doesnt either.

I promise you Musk is no fool and knew exactly what he was doing: signaling to other fascist that the thing they were told to “stand back and stand by” for has finally arrived.

I don’t know what you mean by that—blackmailed? Many oligarchs genuinely like fascism, because fascism serves their interests. There’s no reason to doubt that the richest person in the world might financially support fascism in order to suppress labor and slash regulations & taxes. Every fascist movement has been funded & organized by capitalists; they’re not grassroots movements.

I understand the sensation, but... does this make him any more fascist than he was yesterday?

He's not getting more fascist, but he is getting more brazen with his fascism.

Justifiable. Goes to show the corrupting influence of allowing sinister whispers into one's head
