On Friday I posted a short blog looking to solve the question the BBC asked, but didn't really answer: "what's Elon Musk's deal?" Considering how important that answer is to understanding why Musk is pushing fascist conspiracy theories and trying to rig the 2024 US presidential election, I decided to clean that post up and expand it out a little bit on NIDC - including numerous source links I dug up for reasons that will only matter to historians and the type of extremely online nazi fanboy who defends every fascist thing Musk does:

Matchstick Man in a World on Fire
"Look my friends, it may well be true that Elon Musk is also an emotionally insecure loser who desperately craves the approval of extremely online 4Chan nazis and hates trans people because of his utterly broken relationship with his own trans daughter, but absolutely nobody spends billions and billions of dollars on a project like that without an ulterior motive; not Elon Musk and certainly not his Saudi backers who helped him buy Twitter in the first place. These unhinged clowns are employing social media to summon, amplify, and control an army of violent, angry chuds all across the Pig Empire, and then use that rabid, gibbering menace to pressure state-level actors into maintaining reactionary capitalist structures to thereby further transform society into a nightmare dystopia where rich fascists like Elon Musk call all the shots no matter how many people that harms – which I’m sorry to say, isn’t really all that drastic of a transformation, given how much power rich nazis already have over Pig Empire states and society, right here and now."
