I’m shocked, shocked, etc.

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January

Elon Musk’s longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying. The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January, according to the Guardian’s analysis of his social media output. The posts, made on his platform X, reflect a renewed embrace of what extremism experts describe as white supremacist material.
“Whites are a rapidly dying minority,” Musk said on 22 January, a short time before taking the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, while reposting an Irish anti-immigrant influencer’s video about demographic change.
Musk’s posts included him repeatedly claiming white people face systemic discrimination, endorsing the conspiracy that there is an ongoing genocide against white people in countries around the world and promoting a claim that white people would be “slaughtered” by non-whites if they become a demographic minority.
“If you stripped Elon Musk’s name off of these things and showed them to me, I would think that this was a white supremacist,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Extremism, who reviewed a selection of the posts.
Musk has for years promoted anti-immigrant and far-right content in his posts, as well as endorsed rightwing activists and political parties around the globe. The Tesla CEO’s most recent output displays a more consistent and explicit engagement with white supremacist content and nativist activists than in the past, however, lending them the imprimatur of the world’s richest person and spreading their ideas to his audience of over 200 million followers. Beirich said he appeared “deep into the world of white nationalism”.

Yes. Yes he has. People who have been paying attention have long since known this about him. I’m not sure why the Graun is presenting this as news. Still, it’s never not good to have Edolf’s bullshit on record like this. But at least he’s also willing to stand up for the Chinese…

Apparently what’s really behind this particular outburst is that he’s pissed because he can’t use Anthropic’s Claude AI thing to develop Grok because Claude’s terms of use specifically ban users from using it to build their own other things, or something like that. But in any case, Claude is apparently racist, heterophobic and misandrist. No one seems to be sure why he invoked this book at the end of his post nor what it has to do with anything, and he chose the name “X” for his own company so it’s not he has any right to mock others… Whatever, though, he’s just made himself look like a complete tit, which, again, is no surprise to anyone who used the Internet at all…

Oh no, we made Edolf sad

I’m in an admittedly odd situation for a pensioner, in that I am actually reasonably comfortably off thanks to my parents, whose decades of hard work and effort basically, you know, paid off for me as much as them… I inherited the house I live in with no mortgage, plus their various investments, so that even though the pension leaves a fair bit to be desired I’m still fairly secure that way. I’ve got a housemate who covers quite a few expenses, so I don’t actually have a lot of expenditure in that area either. Basically, I’ve got enough, and I’m relatively happy with that. Unlike some people:

Oh, BABY, that’s tragic. Richest man on Earth and he’s still miserable. And he wants sympathy, apparently, and he can fuck the fuck off with that. You don’t want happiness, anyway; what money does buy is power, and that’s what you want more than anything (with the possible exception of love, and money won’t buy you that either, not the real thing anyway. You have to be capable of it yourself first to deserve it from others, and Edolf has frankly demonstrated his lack of ability there).

I can’t imagine having as much money as this individual and still not being happy with that… I mean, money doesn’t buy me happiness per se either, but it covers the costs of the things that do… I’ve got enough, like I said, to make me happy, and this cunt doesn’t despite having about 400,000 times my wealth. Maybe it’s just that I’ve never really wanted a lot, whereas he clearly does and has the proportionately greater wherewithal to achieve those things, and he’s still not happy. And I’m kind of glad about that somehow.

Merry Griftmas to all…

Look who’s found religion…

Daniel’s going to be weirdly disappointed if Edolf turns out to be Muslim now, eh? Needless to say, none of his commenters are buying it, and quite a few are speculating about what charges are coming his way that he’s going down this route so suddenly, or whether he’s just in another ketamine spiral… To be honest I believe Russell Brand’s conversion more than this; I’ve said before that I think Brand’s Christian beliefs might actually be genuine, but I do not think this of Edolf. I doubt the latter believes in anything except himself and his bank account; if I still feel Brand’s conversion was suspiciously timed (even if genuine), Musk’s putative conversion to something or other is equally suspicious and even less real. No season of goodwill to this character.

Then again…

You may recall I was speculating the other day about whether or not Edolf was a particularly sexual being, cos I’ve never really had the impression that he was…

…but if this is true, then I may have been a bit premature (like Edolf himself? BOOM TISH!). A ghastly image if ever there was…

Leave those semicolons alone!

Haven’t had an awful lot to say of late, just having one of those occasional lulls; there’s enough stuff happening that I could talk about (like the US government shutdown and the chaos resulting therefrom) but haven’t wanted to. But I must note this story, at least…

So the author Joyce Carol Oates posted this on Twatter the other day, and a bit of a storm erupted thereafter… and I recognise the tendency she brings up, I wrote about it a while ago; it’s the “art won’t fuck you” thing. These things don’t get these people anything, there’s no material benefit for them. You may notice, though, that Oates doesn’t specfically identify any individual “wealthy man” that she might be thinking of, but someone made it all about himself…

EDOLF! I haven’t had anything to say about that cunt in ages, haven’t missed him for aome reason, but anyway he felt the need to make himself the main character of the Internet again after Oates posted that tweet about him that didn’t even name him, and he was fuming like this for ages, apparently…

…to the point of being all “SEE? I do SO read books, Joyce!” like this, making an ad to promote an old Blinkist list of some of his favourite books (which I had seen before; he’s been a reader at some point but I feel like he hasn’t been one for a very long time)…

…and though this post did predate the current nonsense, it’s been revived as a result of same. You may notice the book in the link is conspicuously not the one he mentioned.

As for Joyce:

Which I do believe is a rather more concise and brutal burn than the one that kicked this off. To be honest, I don’t think the “art won’t fuck you” thing really works with Edolf. I don’t know if he’s actually that interested in sex per se; he’s obviously invested in spreading his genes as far and wide as he can, but I don’t know that sex in and of itself otherwise interests him… we’ll leave aside entirely the question of whether or not he’s even functional Down There (most if not all of his many kids seem to have come from IVF or susrrogacy, though), but anyway, I suspect he’s more interested in power than anything really. But there’s equally no denying a hollowness at the heart of him; he may not be bothered that art won’t fuck him, but he evinces no real interest in it anyway that I can see. He really is all he has, and when you’re him, that’s a pretty fucking awful thing…

And meanwhile…

Remember this shocking statement?

Cos if not, you apparently won’t find it on Edolf’s Twitter any more, cos he appears to have deleted it. A little bit late, cos I’m sure every man and his dog took a screenshot of it in anticipation of him doing so, and he must’ve known they would… Where this leaves the current lovefest between him and Mushroom Cock I don’t know, and I don’t see the point in him doing it now. Unless Trump made an offer/threat even he couldn’t refuse? I don’t know. The childishness just gets more and more wearing. On which note…

…cos THEY’RE not cool with each other now either, not since Stephen’s wife is now working for Edolf, and I have seen further scuttlebutt—not actually substantiated as far as I know—that she’s doing, shall we say, more than just working for him, and that the putatively scorned husband was the one who leaked the “information” about just how many drugs his wife’s putative new man was on while at DOGE (as if this were another thing we were supposed to be surprised by and we hadn’t already known for ages). As for Katie, well, it must be nice having a choice of fascists like that…

Claws out!

There is no love between Edolf and Mushroom Cock any more, to paraphrase PWEI, since the former’s tenure at DOGE officially ended a week ago… as previously noted, he’s been pretty vocal about agent Krasnov’s “big beautiful bill”, and the latter has been vocal back, and it’s escalated in the last day or two, until, to cut a mildly amusing story short:

And people are getting really excited about these as if they were great revelations that no one had ever considered until now. I mean… if you didn’t think Trump was in the Epstein files, then you haven’t been thinking about them at all. OBVIOUSLY there’s something in there he doesn’t want to become known, it’s the same reason he refuses to release his taxes despite saying he would years ago… and if he’s not in there himself (unlikely), someone else is that he has some invested interest in covering their arse. On top of which, I feel somehow like Musk’s specifically invoking the Epstein to try and throw people off the scent of himself, cos I’d be surprised somehow if he werem’t also in there…

“Geelen who? Never heard of her…”

As for Bannon entering the fray, well, Edolf already kind of admitted a few months ago that there was, in his words, a “legal grey area” when it came to him going from being a student to the world-changing business genius we all know and love today… that grey area being that he was only on a student visa in the mid-90s when he dropped out and started a business instead, which, even though student visas were less vigorously enforced back then, was still illegal nonetheless. And he’s kind of admitted that, so again, not much of a revelation. But people are, unsurprisingly, enjoying the prospect of him potentially being deported and I won’t say that I don’t enjoy it too… though I do think it’d be the most terrible mistake Drumpf could make in a presidency of terrible mistakes; as long as Musk’s drudges are still in DOGE, and they are, they’re far more of a threat to the government than it is to him… As for where all this bullshit will leave J. Divans, well, I suppose we can only wait and see…
