Can someone point me to the transphobia / racist information? Or whatever else is being alluded to constantly here. When or where was it posted?
just as I post a comment to the mod thread referencing to such info to ask about it, the thread is locked.
Edit: so far the only thing is 1 retweet of a very obnoxious article praising Richard Dawkins. Surely there is more?
I've posted this several times already and it seems a pretty glaring example of his position as of 2022-ish, when I believe he retweeted this
Dogwhistle for puberty blockers i guess
This is not an anti-eugenics statement. It is opposition to hysterectomies/oophorectomies, orchiectomies, reduced fertility by reason of long term HRT and other imagined consequences of gender affirming care being obtained by some trans minors.
Wait this is supposed to be a negative thing huh? I thought this was a dunk on Elon Musk tbh, saying that we will rip the system down and build socialism from the ground up, but I suppose this is a criticism of people who want to do that. Now that I'm rereading it it's clear that this was supposed to be a takedown of the left and not the right. Forgive me for not reading through one man's entire Twitter history.
The OG tweet is from march this year. Xcancel would show 2022 if it was that old.
I don't understand how this is racist or transphobic or what?
The guy retweeting Elon is not being critical of his views. He agrees with everything Musk said and is simply adding that it’s a shame not everybody agrees. Luigi retweeted support for Elon’s tweet that is laden with dog whistles.
The guy retreating musk does seem to be critical of his position?
I think I read it the same way as you the first time around. I was distracted by this, which sounds to be in contradiction to Musk and arguing a more reasonable, if lib, position:
On third glance I see that the next line is the point of the thing:
It is the opposite sentiment of "a rising tide lifts all boats". That an ambition towards equality will inevitably sink all to a lowest common denominator.
I also got distracted by mention of "the levelers" which is being used derisively here, not in a positive sense. And because the language is somewhat reminiscent of some left slogans such as "a new world in the shell of the old" I mis understood it.
So I am compelled to agree with @Sulvor that it's shitty.
I wonder if I made an x account and dmd him if he would answer...
“Your commitment to long term civilizational success, Elon, is not universally shared”
He thinks the stuff Elon is talking about are required for society to progress. If he’s at all critical, it’s from a position that Elon isn’t going far enough.
No I don't think that is correct, he's saying that elons views towards the welfare of society in the longterm isn't shared by everyone and then he says that the people that do believe in it aren't the majority.
The dude is a fan of Evola. He supports everything Elon said initially.
You sound more knowledgeable than me so I'll take your word for it, I don't really have a horse in the race but I've reread the screenshot many times and I could swear he's against elon there
