    I’m kinda surprised it’s enough really. To prompt quitting.

    It’s a tacitly approved racist platform and he’s approved by the government to be in the system working.

    Why resign? Going mask off is being normalized on the right. I’m thinking this is something else. He probably asked for a bathroom break or refused a 2am blood transfusion.

    The account also seemed fixated on people from India, writing “Normalize Indian hate” and supporting a so-called “eugenic immigration policy,” tweets that are shocking to normal people but have become fairly typical on extremist social media platforms like X.

    What a champ. I like gizmodos framing of twitter as an extremist platform though, that’s a fun development that we should normalise.

    Good thing they vetted him before they let him into our systems like they would any other time.

    Oh wait my bad.

    Hahah. Yeah he ‘resigned’. More like he was told to get out because they can’t actually SAY they’re racist, they just DO racist things.

        They still need plausible deniability to interact with the rest of the world. I bet a lot of European countries would formally ban Musk or Musk-controlled companies if he literally said “sieg heil”, but right now they’re just side-eyeing him.

            Europe has a much more sensitive opinion of Nazism though having actually experienced it more directly than the US.

            There are still buildings with bullet holes in them from the second world war. Americans don’t have that kind of cultural reminder, it does make a difference.

            Even in the UK where there was never any ground fighting there are old Victorian Street with missing buildings, gaps in rows of houses.

    So he’s going to ‘take some time to figure out his next moves’ while doing the same thing but surreptitiously, while Musk throws some pocket change at him.

    A nazi isn’t going to walk away from the opportunity to hurt people.

    Huh, Gizmodo is saying it now.
