"Elon Musk Wades Deeper into Antisemitic Propaganda - The CEO is helping to amplify a hashtag campaign against the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights group that combats hate speech"
This piece by John Ganz uses Jeffrey Herf's idea of "reactionary modernism" to link Ford, Musk and others to antisemitism and a vision of a hierarchical, hi-tech society.
@bullivant Why doesn’t our government stop paying him billions of dollars with contracts? He is untrustworthy and appears to be working with foreign adversaries to destroy democracy in the US.
@bullivant and unfortunately the US government has become beholden to him. The sheer number of satellites in orbit which he controls makes him even more dangerous than his Twitter ownership.
@bullivant but only because he cares about the future of the humanity 🥴🤪🤓 Afrikaner was always Nazi, but I think his use of ketamine uninhibits him and makes him flaunt it all.🤷♀️
@bullivant Am I surprised Elon Musk is up to his old tricks again? No.
Has my opinion on him as CEO of what used to be Twitter changed after 11 months (repeat, 11 months)? No.
Is he still a shining example of how not to be a CEO in general, much less of a social media network? Yes, but his example is so much worse now than it was even three days into his reign.
@bullivant this will end up in the ADL's favor, count on it. Any frank discussion of its own excesses will be swept under the rug and it's legitimacy as a "civil rights group" will be verified. I posit that the ADL does far more harm than good; that keeping an eye on hate groups is better left to a more objective, scientific stance such as currently offered by the SPLC
@submarine@bullivant imagine the big takeaway from "nazis and their nazi billionaire target the Anti-Defamation League" being fuck the ADL and not fuck those nazis.
@angiebaby To be fair I have met quite a few nice South Africans. But I agree that the arsehole percentage is quite high. Something to do with failing to adjust to a post-apartheid society.
