Musk is a fascist, a racist, against labor rights, anti-democratic, and an outright anarcho-capitalist. To admire him or praise his work is to admire and praise these qualities. I have lost followers for this take on here. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Ancaps are inhumane scum.

i agree there are legitimate criticisms about Elon's character, but can you show us evidence to substantiate your claims that he is a fascist, a racist, and anti-democratic? this reads like all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, labeling and magnification — dangerous thought patterns, to both you and society.

Yes, I've addressed this a couple times here but tldr: Fascist: he promotes fascist pols, pushes hateful propaganda about nontrad people, promotes violence against illegal immigrants. Anti-democratic: he has deplatformed countless leftist political groups, also journalists. Overgeneralizing is dangerous I agree. TY.

per your example of anti-democratic behavior, would you also call Jack Dorsey or Mark Zuckerberg anti-democratic given they were / are CEOs when Twitter and Facebook, respectively, de-platformed right-leaning political groups and activists? 🤔

Good question. Yeah, I'd say that Zuck has been actively endangering democracy for the same reasons Musk has. Dangerous and overly opinionated moderation practices, meanwhile allowing hatespeech and propaganda. YouTube is guilty of this too. Big problem not exclusive to Musk rn
