Elon Musk is an antisemite. What can anyone do about it

Quote

The question of how you solve a problem like Elon Musk has crossed the line from an amusing little parlor game to an issue with serious implications for anyone doing business with him, including major corporations and the U.S. government.

Little that Musk says or does escapes popular notice, but a tweet he posted Wednesday on X, the platform he owns which was formerly known as Twitter, is in a category all his own.

On Thursday, IBM announced that it was suspending its advertising on X indefinitely. The company’s action came the day after the watchdog organization Media Matters for America documented that its ads had appeared on X next to Nazi content.

Following the latest Musk tweet, a group of more than 160 Jewish community leaders called on “Disney, Apple, Amazon, and other large advertisers to stop funding X through their ad spend,” and for Apple and Google to remove X from their app stores.

“Make no mistake,” the leaders stated: “Elon Musk is not only powerful because of his own riches. It is because these companies and leaders empower him. In so doing, they are participants in mainstreaming hate that leads to murders.”

Musk’s amplification of antisemitism also poses a problem for the U.S. government and thus for American taxpayers generally. SpaceX, a private company he controls, is a major partner holding contracts from the Defense Department and NASA.

Musk’s behavior raises the question of whether any company he leads can be an appropriate government contractor.

His promotion of antisemitism risks fomenting violence that could cost innocent lives. He has made clear his thoughts and beliefs, which occupy the darkest reaches of inhumanity. It’s time to start hacking away at his influence. 

I went to the LA Auto Show yesterday and had the opportunity to drive a Tesla. Not many waiting in line, unlike Ford, Jeep, and Nissan.

After the drive, they asked about my desire to buy one. I told the guy I probably would not consider Tesla due to Musk's antisemitism and failure to provide Star Link service in Ukraine's Crimea attack. The guy claimed ignorance about both, not that I believed him.

The Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”) is opening an investigation into Media Matters for potential fraudulent activity. Under the Texas Business Organizations Code and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, the OAG will vigorously enforce against nonprofits who commit fraudulent acts in or affecting the state of Texas.

Attorney General Paxton was extremely troubled by the allegations that Media Matters, a radical anti-free speech organization, fraudulently manipulated data on X.com (formerly known as Twitter).

“We are examining the issue closely to ensure that the public has not been deceived by the schemes of radical left-wing organizations who would like nothing more than to limit freedom by reducing participation in the public square,” said Attorney General Paxton.

I think you did not understand what I meant, but this is not surprising.

I think he found you stupid and acted that way, because clearly, Musk isn't an anti Semite. He's just a megalomaniac billionaire with too much power. And the way you seem to control your anger, means you have trouble communicating which goes symbiotically with a lack of general intelligence.

So you are ALSO IGNORANT of the latest news regarding Musk's anti-semitism.

 The White House on Friday condemned Elon Musk's endorsement of what it called a "hideous" antisemitic conspiracy theory on X, while major U.S. companies including Walt Disney Co (DIS.N), Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.O) and NBCUniversal parent Comcast (CMCSA.O) paused their advertisements on his social media site.

Musk on Wednesday agreed with a post on X that falsely claimed Jewish people were stoking hatred against white people, saying the user who referenced the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory was speaking "the actual truth."

Pretty easy to ban Twitter in Canada.

 

At some point governments need to assert themselves.  The Alberta government recently did that in the healthcare domain, I heard on the Globe and Mail's Decibel.

Exactly. I'm casually in the market and may have already purchased a Model S if Musk hadn't decided that bad politics makes for good business. I simply can't support him.

This plus the idea that X actually allows most free speech (not all mind you) is what has your panties in a knot?

Man...sometimes...scratch that...you are always so childish and openly display a level of intellectual bankrupcy that is both staggering and tiresome.

Q1: Has the Israeli response to the Hamas attacks, created a more focused hatred towards Caucasians? I think its safe to say the answer would be YES.

Q2: There happen to be a lot of Jews around who do not like the Zionists, one little bit. Many have been seen protesting against Israel. Do ya sort o' figure that too stokes hatred against white people? YES.

These 2 questions...which I've already answered for you because...well I don't want you to tax your noodle too much over complexities...are incredibly obvious. I must surmise that even rather simple problems and issues are beyond your capacity.

Meh...same ol' same old.

Elon Musk boosts Pizzagate conspiracy theory that led to D.C. gunfire

Quote

Elon Musk voiced support Tuesday for Pizzagate, the long-debunked conspiracy theory that led a man to fire a rifle inside a Washington, D.C., restaurant in 2016.

The far-right theory, a predecessor to QAnon, alleged that the Clintons and Democratic Party leaders ran a secret satanic child sex ring in a D.C. pizzeria known as Comet Ping Pong.

The theory, a mainstay of fringe Donald Trump supporters during the 2016 presidential campaign, was labeled “fictitious” by D.C. police investigators.

Musk’s post was the latest in what has become a string of tweets in which Musk boosted debunked theories and comes just one day after he visited Israel to try to tamp down anger over an explosion of antisemitism on X that has caused a growing number of advertisers to flee. 

I really thought Musk was smarter than ^this.

[WestCanMan]

Listen to leftards suddenly talking about boycotting Twitter now, or even banning it from our own country, just because someone found some neo-Nazi content on it.

Are we to believe that there was never anything like that on there before? 

What constitutes Nazi content now by leftard standards? "OMG, a pitchow of twumpie! Mawmmmy theows notseez heow!" 

Remember when the MSM said that the Freedom convoy was awash in Nazi/confederate symbolism but they forgot to take a picture of it? Is this any different?

We have at least one admitted holocaust denier on this forum, but we also have no shortage of Hamas supporters as well. What do we do with this forum now, burn the servers? 

The time to ban Twitter from Canada was back when they were banning legitimate newspapers from their site for telling the truth, in order to influence and election. 

X is fine now, it's the leftards that need to be banned from Canada.

Elon Musk’s Poisoned Platform

Quote

Last Wednesday, an account on X named @breakingbaht posted a message that read, Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. The post went on to espouse a line of conspiratorial thinking that is sometimes called the great replacement theory, suggesting that Jews were driving hordes of minorities to supplant white people. @breakingbaht has less than six thousand followers, and the account’s casual, blatant antisemitism might easily have passed with little notice. Since Elon Musk’s acquisition of X last October, the company has slashed its content-moderation staff, and countless virulent posts proliferate daily. This time, though, Musk himself replied, telling @breakingbaht, You have said the actual truth.

Musk often posts on X upward of a dozen times a day, to more than a hundred and sixty-three million followers, and he had expressed shades of antisemitism and racism repeatedly on the platform before. But this time, amid a brutal Israel-Hamas war, with antisemitism and Islamophobia inflamed around the world, he seemed to have finally crossed a line. On Thursday, the watchdog group Media Matters published a report showing that the ads of major corporations were appearing on X alongside antisemitic material. On Friday, a statement from the White House called Musk’s remark unacceptable, and major advertisers, including I.B.M., Disney, and the European Union, began suspending their purchases on the platform. Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th and the ensuing war, antisemitism has been surging on X; according to Memetica, a digital investigations firm, the hashtag #hitlerwasright has appeared forty-six thousand times since October 7th, compared with fewer than five thousand times per month previously. Far from combatting the ballooning hatred on his platform, Musk was openly amplifying it.

Egged on by Musk? Gawd you're an insufferable dweeb. Musk is allowed his opinion just as your are. At least he's not a dweeb. 

None of your limp outrage over silly shit, will affect Musk. I saw him tell Bob to go fck himself on TV today. Bob made The Marvels...Musk made SpaceX and Tesla.

In the meantime...free speech is important...even your drivel.

The point is not that people are saying antisemitic things on Twitter.  The point is that Elon Musk reposted an antisemitic message and said he agreed with it.

Twitter was a cesspool of far left hatred that silenced the right regularly.

So, now both sides are equal.
