From CNN Reliable Source:
Musk's Migrant Madness: Elon Musk continues to spiral further and further out of control. The billionaire conspiracy theory promoter, who has adopted extremist positions on migrants as he continues to listen to radical media figures, smeared Haitian migrants this week by hyping fears of cannibalism. Yes, you read that right: cannibalism. As NBC's David Ingram reported Thursday, "Musk and right-wing pundits online are weaponizing unverified claims of cannibalism coming out of the [Haitian] conflict to advance a political agenda on immigration." Musk, in fact, is not hiding his worries about this, responding to Ingram's story by writing on X, "If wanting to screen immigrants for potential homicidal tendencies and cannibalism makes me 'right wing,' then I would gladly accept such a label! Failure to do so would put innocent Americans in mortal risk." In another post, Musk responded to NBC with a video, asking, "What do you call this?" Ironically, X later took down the video for violating its rules, Bloomberg's Craig Trudell reported. 😬
🔎 Zooming in: It cannot be overstated how unhinged Musk's behavior is. Much of it goes unreported because, like Donald Trump, he floods the zone with so much nonsense it is difficult to keep up. But it is worth examining what one of the world's most powerful people spends his time doing on X. As recently as this month, Musk has promoted the racist Great Replacement theory, attacked journalists as "liars," agreed with Trump that Facebook is the "enemy of the people," called New York Magazine's Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Andrea Long Chu a "psychopath," said in an interview that Jacob Chansley, known as the QAnon Shaman, "doesn't seem dangerously crazy" and pushed deranged deep state conspiracies about the January 6 insurrection, accused the FBI of operating with a "double standard" against Republicans, babbled about the "woke mind virus" and "woke mob," and mocked Don Lemon after abruptly canceling a partnership with him following an interview in which he did not like.
Do something positive.
