Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts
Elon Musk’s longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying. The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January, according to the Guardian’s analysis of his social media output. The posts, made on his platform X, reflect a renewed embrace of what extremism experts describe as white supremacist material.
“Whites are a rapidly dying minority,” Musk said on 22 January, a short time before taking the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, while reposting an Irish anti-immigrant influencer’s video about demographic change.
Musk’s posts included him repeatedly claiming white people face systemic discrimination, endorsing the conspiracy that there is an ongoing genocide against white people in countries around the world and promoting a claim that white people would be “slaughtered” by non-whites if they become a demographic minority.

The Tesla board of directors responded by voting to increase his bonus pay by another few hundred million.
Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 215d
They'd add a few zeroes. A few hundred million is less than a 1% increase.
Last I saw, he was angling for a $1 trillion bonus for his next round of grifting.
Almacca@aussie.zone · 7 pts · 215d
The targets they set for him to get that bonus seem pretty unachievable to me, though. It would take him having to stop actively turning people sour on the brand, which I can't see happening any time soon.
Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 215d
That's what they said about his previous ridiculous bonus package (following that outcry, Musk replaced the board with family and sycophants). Tesla's valuation is completely divorced from reality and I wouldn't be shocked if he somehow grifts his way into meeting the targets, at least on paper.

Why have I never ran into anyone who wasn't a pregnant woman with those huge pokers? I mean, it's like a legit micropeen on his cheese.

He has plenty of things that should keep him busy, but does this instead. Those workers sleeping at the office must be truly inspired by his racist shitposting achievements.

He didn't get to where he is by working for it, so why would he?

Bro, you got infinite money. You could be at the beach. You could be traveling the world staying in 5 star hotels. You could attend any concert you want, anywhere you want. You could be gambling millions in a Monaco casino like a Bond villain. You could live in a custom penthouse inside a giant golden blimp.
Why did you decide you want to be a pathetic loser?
RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 214d
I'm sure there are a bunch of guys with infinite money that we never hear about because all they do is lounging at the beach.
NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 214d
I'm pretty sure he has the money to have any concert he wants put on for him with the exact lineup he wants.
Might have to add a few extra b's though to get some hold out artists who would refuse. They would cave though and at worst donate the money if they were that disgusted

What's up with these circlejerk where people bring up shit no one asked for and then pat themselves on their backs.
Can you fuckwits ever stay on topic? Democrats will save the day… any day now.
Now call me tankie or whatever makes you feel better. Better not look into my comment history though, might blow your little bubble. Fucking idiots.

Illustrating that hoarding resources does not equate to value or utility. This scumbag 'has it all' and is still unhappy with himself, still inferior to other humans however you wish to measure, and still a lame fucking douche who doesn't understand what women or anybody wants. Also highlighting why blind shouldn't follow blind, you could end up like this Elmer fudd/Brian peppers abomination

I'm shocked that Elon Musk the Nazi cares so much about race. /s
Every time I see him in the news lately all I can ever think about is that post about how all we have to do is eat one Billionaire and the rest will fall in line.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 214d
This is the real reason he wanted to have "free speech" on xitter. Free speech for him to say lots of Nazi stuff.

Believing in archaic colonialist pseudoscience when modern science has disproven it beyond a reasonable doubt makes you stupid. I’m sick of this parasite class that doesn’t do anything except commit crimes, rape kids, preach a return to feudalism, dismantle everything that our ancestors put in place to help working people, rape kids, make backdoor deals and collect subsidies from our tax dollars. Elon is the trashiest welfare queen to ever exist. When can we send his ass one way to mars and absorb his companies that we’ve footed the bill for into nasa and space x?
