Elon Musk has fully bought into the ‘great replacement’
Elon Musk has fully bought into the ‘great replacement’
Musk’s dogwhistles are getting louder, but he still wants plausible deniability.
Why would he?
... Because he is now and has always been a racist.
137Who would have thought that the son of an emerald mine oligarch from Racism: The Country would be racist?
104I always thought that title would go to us (germany) or to the usa, but yeah, i guess it's a thing we all have in common.
20 years ago i was sure we'd live in a post-scarcity federation-of-planets style paradise by now.

This is not a new development. He was raised with this ideals, brought them straight form his home in apartheid.
64Whites are being replaced in America. Thing is, there's no conspiracy, it's simply history unfolding. (It's always been like this, poorer nations leak into more affluent populations. Because why wouldn't they?!)
What we should ask these people is simple, "OK. Whites are going to be a minority sometime in the next couple of decades. Why is that a problem?"
So why aren't these people confronted with that simple question? Why can't journalists nail them to the fucking wall when it's so easy?!
57Exactly this.
You can’t sit there and vacuum money out of a country via decades and centuries of the virtual theft of natural resources and labor, and then not expect the people living there to go to where their money went.
28That’s exactly my thought whenever I hear a British person complain about Caribbean people or a French person about Algerians. What did you expect? This is a direct consequence of colonialism and it’s much less disruptive than you deserve, just calm the fuck down

He's a South African Apartheid guy. No suprise here.
48Ah yes, the old Jewish plot to replace white people with that famous ally of the Jews: Muslims.
They're super well known for getting on together.
Makes sense really.
36Fun fact: they are. Or were until Zionism started to take off ~150 years ago.
But the 1000 years before that there were few conflicts for Jews in Arab countries while European Jews kept getting pogromed.

What an idiot.
31Okay closet Xitters. Out of the pool. Time’s up.
17You know what would be a great replacement? Billionaires with the absence of billionaires.
15God I wish the great replacement was real so we wouldn't have to deal with this bitching
13If he believes that then he should tell red states to stop bussing migrants to blue states. You’re basically giving votes away.
9This is the best summary I could come up with:
For months, Elon Musk has been dropping decidedly unsubtle hints that he believes in the great replacement, a conspiracy theory that liberal elites are “importing” immigrants into the United States, Europe, and Australia to wage political and biological warfare against white people.
In a contentious interview that aired last week with Don Lemon, Musk said he doesn’t “subscribe to that” before detailing what he does believe — which is effectively still great replacement theory.
Though it’s worth explaining how all of this works to understand how nonsensical Musk’s beliefs are, the facts don’t really matter to people who are convinced that the great replacement is actually happening.
The real die-hards don’t think it’s a scheme to create a permanent Democratic majority; they think it’s a plot to ethnically replace white Americans.
That’s why tiki torch-wielding neo-Nazis chanted “Jews will not replace us” in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2016 and why a mass shooter killed 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh a year later.
Musk is trying to have it both ways: he wants to send obvious great replacement dogwhistles, but, lest it scare advertisers away, he doesn’t want anyone to accuse him of wholeheartedly believing in what he’s saying.
The original article contains 738 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
8While I don't disagree with the premise of this article, it does a piss poor job at rebuttal. It tries to explain that migrants and asylum seekers won't get to vote in this next election, don't draw SS/Medicare benefits today, and anyway the census is only every ten years, etc. But the "great replacement" stuff is about fears about changing the population over the long term, so this kind of counterargument either falls flat or will be interpreted as gaslighting.
7Did you ... stop reading?
The real die-hards don’t think it’s a scheme to create a permanent Democratic majority; they think it’s a plot to ethnically replace white Americans. At its core, the great replacement is about demographics, not democracy.
The article doesn't try to rebut this because of the staggering number of premises you need to accept before you can even reach such a conclusion. It's really not worth unpacking here.
4I disagree. That is precisely the thing that needs to be unpacked and rebutted, because it's the actual thing these people are worried about. Not the financial sustainability of Social Security, or whatever.

Wasn’t that the whole second half of the article?
Though it’s worth explaining how all of this works to understand how nonsensical Musk’s beliefs are, the facts don’t really matter to people who are convinced that the great replacement is actually happening. The real die-hards don’t think it’s a scheme to create a permanent Democratic majority; they think it’s a plot to ethnically replace white Americans. At its core, the great replacement is about demographics, not democracy.
They go into further details after that.
Edit: Second half may have been generous. It’s the last few paragraphs though.

He's right, he should leave and go back home!
7It's why he has to have so many children.
1Listening to Seth Rogan talk about 'eat the rich' shows we have, and always have, penetrated their circles.
Elon thinks he's clever so he's going for, "sow division." Real original mr cybersex truck.
-1" a conspiracy theory that liberal elites are “importing” immigrants into the United States, Europe, and Australia" See it doesn't mention Canada because it's in full swing there.
