Fresh from pouring his money and energies into helping Donald Trump win reelection, Elon Musk has trained his sights on Europe, setting off alarm bells among politicians across the continent.
The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive has endorsed the far-right Alternative for Germany, demanded the release of jailed U.K. anti-Islam extremist Tommy Robinson and called British Prime Minister Keir Starmer an evil tyrant who should be in prison.
Elon Musk is beyond insane, he is batshit crazy.
According to Musk, Keir Starmer should be in prison but this idiot who repeatedly breaks laws should not?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson
Robinson served four prison terms between 2005 and 2019. In 2013, he illegally entered the United States using a friend’s passport. In 2018, he violated a court order by publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering court. Prior to sentencing, he appeared on the American far-right website InfoWars to appeal for political asylum in the US. In 2021, he was subjected to a five-year stalking prevention order for harassing journalist Lizzie Dearden and her partner. In 2021, he was found to have libelled a 15-year-old refugee at a school in Huddersfield and was ordered to pay £100,000 plus legal costs. After breaching an injunction about repeating the libel, Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison. In June 2022 Robinson admitted gambling away £100,000 before declaring bankruptcy.
Why the fuck would anyone of their right mind choose to support such trash?
The only conclusion is that Elon Musk is not of his right mind, and should probably be committed to protect both himself and others from his insanity.
Edit for clarity:
Added "According to Musk, "
Watch the Connoreatspants stream with “Adrian Dittmann,” it went so bad it’s why he had to admit he really is Dittmann.
If you can stomach it, stay the whole time and listen to his views. He is seriously unhinged and views all human relationships as performative. He doesn’t understand emotions or care about them to the point that he thinks he doesn’t experience them despite his emotions being spectacularly on display anytime Connor got under his skin, which was a lot. He gets so fucking steamed.
In a way, we are actually really lucky he is so honest about who he is and how he works.
I had never heard of this Adrian Dittmann business. I did a bit of searching and there is also this, from the conservative publication The Spectator, arguing that Dittmann is a real person:
https://thespectator.com/topic/real-adrian-dittmann-not-elon-musk-x-account-fiji/
Here a professional does some research on audio clips from both Dittmann and Musk and comes to the conclusion that while it’s not impossible they are different people, it’s indeed highly improbable.
I’ve read The Spectator story and I’m unconvinced. Why does Dittmann seem to know a lot of about the companies internals or know Musk’s mind? Why do they have eerily similar opinions on nearly everything?
Musk is seriously unhinged, and I don’t think he actually spends a moment of time working as much as he likes to pretend he does. He even got outed for faking his POE ranking in the last few days. (This was after previously being kicked for “cheating” and then denying he cheated) He pays people to make him seem like a more “Epic Gamer” than he actually is. I don’t believe he’s above making fake accounts mostly because he’s literally been caught doing it before and having to admit it in a deposition. He was caught posting under an account made to look like his own son, was posting weird babytalk and weird sex talk.
Coupled with this photo and rumors that he was kicked out of the Bay Area Babyfur community in 2009 is all I need to know personally.
The idea that he couldn’t be Adrian Dittmann is honestly sillier than him being Adrian Dittmann, in my opinion. Further, nothing in the article is solid proof of much of anything, especially because Musk can unilaterally take over anyone’s account because he owns the site. Even if the account at one point was owned by a real Adrian Dittmann, the question is whether or not that person still really has control over the account.
Recall that Musk stole the X account from a longtime user. He is obviously not above stealing user accounts if it benefits him.
Finally, his laugh man. You can fake a lot about another person, but a laugh is hard hard hard hard to mimic. Why is Dittmann’s laugh a fucking exact replica of Musks? Even if their voices sounded similar, the likelihood of them both laughing the exact same way is even more unusual.
Just a heads up, the author of this article worked with maia crimew on it and then poorly presented the evidence in a right-wing paper with no credit. Here’s maia’s post with more solid evidence:
Because he didn’t prosecute child groomers.
Despite being the first prosecutor to do just that.
But I guess he was too late to do it, even though Elon didn’t mention it anywhere near when it actually happened.
Hindsight is sometimes 20/20, but in this case I think Elon’s hindsight is 14/88.
Cuz Musk said so. The point OP was trying to make was that Musk says Starmer should be imprisoned and yet wants to release a real criminal.
It’d help to be more than alarmed and actually take action against the threat.
Liberal “they go low, we go high” hard.
I was there when the first far-right parties took hold in Europe. Politicians were looking into censoring the shit out of them from the internet, but then “free speech absolutists” started to cry “that would be like the Soviet Union, they killed a lot more people than the nazis”.
While European nazis doxxed people for calling them nazis, redefining the word “racism” to mean “irrational hatred of an ethnic group with the sole intent of evil”, etc., hate speech laws did not catch up with them. We even had early examples of nazis radicalizing gamers through shitty games (one infamous example is by Hungarian “centrist satirist” Tamás “Tomcat” Polgár, by writing the most (in)famous Hungarian language text adventure games, filled with “satirical” racism), and I wouldn’t be surprised if the alt-right later on learned from their successes and mistakes.
Best we got is Hungary expanding the definition of Holocaust denial to include the “um, ackchually, we’re only questioning the suspiciously high numbers” types, which is now barely enforced by Fidesz.
I think it might be too late. We just don’t have the mechanics in place to manage this type of threat.
Take for example Musk’s “lottery” in the US. If not technically contrary to law, very much contrary to the spirit of the law, and while I suspect that some kind of “action” was commenced, it was certainly never progressed in any meaningful way. Closing the gate not only after the proverbial horse has bolted, but after that horse has run amok, sired a foal on the prize mare, and grown old and died.
It was hard enough when nana was sharing memes on facebook or your second cousin was getting radicalised on youtube. Now social platforms are openly influencing “engagement” with bots, very obviously supporting far right rhetoric in the name of “free speech”, and avoiding any suppression of misinformation.
Can he be luigied?
I can’t wait until he fucks off to Mars and takes his fanboys with him.
You have every right to be alarmed.
