Elon is right. I'm glad he switched sides.

Just your normal white guy that thinks the colored folks of the world want to replace him


Are you suggesting that's enough alone to characterize him as "far right"?

Are those on the left, who might speak of racial issues with a similar frequency (or who have maybe done so for a similar spell), automatically and forever relegated to the characterization of being "far left"?

Yeah I think the white supremacist boosting he does puts him well into that category. It’s not a controversial take.

Anyone can speak about racial issues. It’s not about frequency, it’s about the positions people take.

Scott Weiner is not liberal enough for these people. They hate him, and he's a disgusting pervert

He retweets white supremacists to agree with them. He spent his January doing it.

Guys this isn’t hard.

Hell, Trump was a Democrat most of his life. The GOP did not move to the right to make him switch. It was the Dems moving to the left.

One man's white supremacist is another man's civil rights leader. The absurd racial and immigration policies of the left and the demonization of regular people have placed these issues in the mainstream.

These are not right wing issues. This is not 1960.

Yea, He (Musk) didn't post any inaccuracies in those examples. He seems to be pretty spot on.

Because you say so? Who are the white supremacists he agrees with, and what does he agree with them on?

I guess some people could be so whacked that they think David Duke is a civil rights leader that speaks for them. I’m sure they exist.

I’ve already linked to an article in this thread that discusses some of it.

So it's your claim that Elon Musk is a supporter of David Duke?

Otherwise, not sure why you would interject him into the thread. You made the accusation that Elon Musk supports white supremacists. Show your work.

The article was nonsense.

I'm asking you, what makes Musk a racist?

Funny how nothing is ever "far left." Only far right.
