Opinion | Elon Musk Is Preoccupied With Something He Doesn’t Understand
Beyond the surface-level nonsense of the “great replacement” theory lies a more subtle issue.
There is no particular mystery to unravel around the political views of Elon Musk, the billionaire technology and social media executive. He is — and for some time, has been — on the far right wing of American politics. He is an enthusiastic purveyor of far-right conspiracy theories, using his platform on the website X to spread a worldview that is as extreme as it is untethered from reality.
You're viewing a single thread.
Musk’s current obsession, as Greg Sargent observes in The New Republic, is the “great replacement,” a far-right conspiracy theory that liberal elites in the United States are deliberately opening the southern border to nonwhite immigration from Mexico, South and Central America in order to replace the nation’s white majority and secure permanent control of its political institutions.
On X, Musk recently pinned a post to a slickly produced video that purports to expose a “Democrat open borders plan to entrench single-party rule,” in which Democrats shepherd millions of people into the United States and “keep them in the country at all costs.” Musk says, “This is actually happening!” The video had, at the time of this writing, well over 50 million views.
It’s hilarious he pretends to be American.
Ladder pulling Musk often forgets that he himself is an immigrant to America.
He can fuck off and go back to South Africa if these are his views on immigration.
The US doesn’t want or need him.
South Africa went through a lot of trouble to get rid of people like him.
As did America. Those assholes are all descendants of European settlers that tried to replace indigenous people, but oh no, now they are being replaced 😭
... Which they are not.
He obviously doesn't realize that his own business needs cheap labor to function and that is the major reason for immigration. I think he is even dumber than I thought...
