I don't spend a lot of time on Twitter these days unless it's to grab some video from Aaron Rupar's feed or look for something specific. I avoid Elon Musk like the plague so I hadn't seen this stuff that Charlie Sykes posted on his substack this morning. It's sickening:

Elon Musk has posted about race more than 850 times in recent months. It's fracturing his fan base The Independent This is not the first year that Musk has posted about race, as he has used his platform in the past to advocate for his beliefs surrounding nationalism and birth rates. However, over the past six months, his posting rate about race has tripled compared to the past two years, with posts about race nearly once a day between October and mid-April.Last September, Musk agreed with an X post that claimed white people had a choice between being "conquered, enslaved, raped and genocided while being called 'racist'" or reclaiming "our nations and our dignity while being called 'racist.'"Musk replied, "Yes" to the inflammatory comment.

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January Elon Musk The GuardianMusk's posts repeatedly echoed prominent white supremacist narratives and ideologies, said William Braniff, the former director of the Department of Homeland Security's office for prevention of terrorism and extremism. Several of Musk's posts included what Braniff described as "textbook examples" of white supremacist conspiracy theories such as "the great replacement" - a belief that liberal elites or Jewish people are conspiring to use immigration to replace white populations.

We analyzed Elon Musk's X account. He's posting about race and Whiteness at record levels. - The Washington Post"Whites are a rapidly dying minority," Musk wrote in January in a post on his social media site X that has garnered more than 17 million views and 150,000 likes. In a February post liked by more than 365,000 accounts, Musk declared that "there has been unrelenting hate and poisonous propaganda in the West against anyone White, straight or male over the past decade or more," adding, "No more guilt trips. ENOUGH."...The billionaire has posted on X about race nearly daily -- 166 out of 197 days -- from last October to mid-April, The Post analysis found.In addition to claiming that White people are subjected to unrelenting vitriol, Musk has suggested that race plays a detrimental role in hiring, touted the role of White people in eliminating slavery, and accused public figures and even an AI tool that competes against his own chatbot, Grok, of racism against White and Asian people. He has plunged into political debates about his native South Africa, which he claims has widely discriminated against White people in the post-apartheid era.

Elon Musk is on a racist posting spree again The VergeMusk says white people "will go from being a small minority of world population today to virtually extinct" and backs President Donald Trump's attacks on Somali immigrants.

To be sure, none of this is strictly new -- Musk's antisemitism has been on full display for years. (Back in 2023, I wrote: "Elon Musk: The Bigot in Full." )

On Wednesday, the world's richest man, the avatar of the revanchist right, took to social media once again. And the result was pure, undiluted Jew Hate.

Euphemisms fail. Here is this morning's Drudge Report:

The man is obviously an evil POS.

But really, this is just par for the course. Racism and rank bigotry are becoming completely mainstream with the president and the richest man in the world leading the way.
