@elonmusk As I said earlier this week, “decolonization”, “from the river to the sea” and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide. Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension.

Something some observers of public life in the United States and elsewhere have been wondering for a long time is whether, if you wanted to destroy American civilization, its values, traditions, and institutions, you would act differently from how George Soros has acted so far. I’m pretty sure the answer is no. Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and the world’s richest man, seems to agree. “In my opinion, he fundamentally hates humanity,” Musk said during an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. “He’s doing things that erode the fabric of civilization, getting D.A.s elected who refuse to prosecute crime. That’s...

@elonmusk And, at the risk of being repetitive, I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind. I’m sick of it. Stop now.

Elon Musk is allowing 'viciously antisemitic' and Islamophobic posts to remain on X following Hamas' brutal attack on Israel despite being reported, a report has found. The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) said 98 per cent of hate speech related to the conflict it had flagged to the social media giant still remained up on the site seven days later. The posts, which have been viewed nearly 25 million times, include holocaust denials, claims that 'Hitler saw Jews for what they were', and calling Muslims 'smelly rats'. Imran Ahmed, the non-profit's chief executive, accused tech billionaire Musk of creating...

In the video, a father is seen talking to his son about the online hatred the son has spewed, and calling him out for his rhetoric. The X user dismissed the video, writing: 'Jewish communties (sic) have been...

in Congress after the House rejected a motion to remove him from the lower chamber, citing the ongoing ethics investigation into the embroiled New York freshman. The House voted 179-213 to remove the first-term incumbent, dealing a blow to his fellow New York Republicans who sought to expel Santos from the House immediately. To do so, the resolution would require a two-thirds majority to pass the lower chamber, meaning at least 78 Republicans would have needed to join all Democrats in advancing the measure, but only 24 Republicans voted in favor of the motion, which was counteracted by more than...

The Twitter Files reveal that one of the most common news sources of the Trump era was a scam, making ordinary American political conversations look like Russian spywork ... Ambitious media frauds Stephen Glass and Jayson Blair crippled the reputations of the New Republic and New York Times, respectively, by slipping years of invented news stories into their pages. Thanks to the Twitter Files, we can welcome a new member to their infamous club: Hamilton 68. If one goes by volume alone, this oft-cited neoliberal think-tank that spawned hundreds of fraudulent headlines and TV news segments may go down as...
