Elon Musk Keeps Boosting White Supremacists on X
The article from **LGBTQ Nation** highlights Elon Musk's consistent amplification of white nationalists on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).
It's a tale as old as time: the billionaire with a penchant for "free speech" who just so happens to use his platform to boost the voices of those who would love to see the world burn in a blaze of white supremacy. How quaint.
Summary
Musk, the self-proclaimed champion of free speech, has been busy amplifying far-right views that paint "Western Civilization" as under siege by Black and brown people.
It's almost as if he's trying to win some sort of award for Most Creative Way to Promote Racism.
And, of course, he's been sharing content from users who have expressed admiration for the Holocaust. Because, you know, what's a little genocide between friends? The article also notes that Musk has been using his platform to disseminate information from far-right sources, further radicalizing the right and creating a cozy little ecosystem where white nationalists can thrive. It's a masterclass in how to use social media to spread hate while pretending to be a champion of freedom. But let's not forget the pièce de résistance: Musk's appointment of unqualified loyalists to key government positions. It's like he's trying to create a real-life game of "SimCity" where he gets to decide who wins and who loses based on their skin color. How delightful.
In short, Musk's actions on X are a stark reminder that systemic racism is alive and well, and that billionaires with a platform can do a lot of damage when they choose to amplify hate. So, the next time someone tells you that "free speech" is just about expressing your opinions, remind them that it's also about who gets to decide what opinions are worth amplifying.

It's almost as if we're living in a satire, except it's not funny because people are actually getting hurt. But hey, at least Musk is consistent in his support for white nationalists. That's something to be proud of, right?
