“Tech-Driven Prosperity & Right-Wing Racist Politics”: Quinn Slobodian on Elon Musk and SpaceX IPO

Ahead of the initial public offering for SpaceX, we speak with historian Quinn Slobodian, author of Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed. He says Elon Musk is “creating a situation where he becomes deeply reliant on state contracts” as the U.S. government then becomes reliant on Musk. “It’s not about demolishing the government,” Slobodian says of his work with DOGE, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency that Musk led for the Trump administration. “It’s about making the government more compatible, ready for the kind of products that Musk offers, and to make him then an indispensable part of the infrastructure.” Slobodian goes on to warn that Musk’s wealth is helping to fuel his anti-immigrant, racist political ideology. “We really should be worried about the possibility of those things to live together: tech-driven prosperity and radical right-wing racist politics.”

Elon Musk's Family History in South Africa Reveals Ties to Apartheid & Neo-Nazi Movements

@randahl Kimi K2 also has the correct answer. A year ago I ran a similar experiment asking the same questions on #NaziMusk's brilliance and the upbringing of his family. I got remarkable biased answers from AI bots dependent on their relationship to the subject.
@rik @isisevrinen @bnrnieuwsradio ter geruststelling, er zijn steeds meer aanwijzingen dat #nazimusk het opgeeft met #swasticar, overstapt naar zijn infantiele robot en dat Spaceship door zijn eigen foute designkeuzes nooit van de grond zal komen. En datacenters in space zijn technisch en financieel onmogelijk. #naziMusk wordt naast de grootste vervuiler van onze planeet en de grootste schatkistrover ook de grootste oplichter
@isisevrinen de goedkeuring van Autopilot was al door en door corrupt en heeft de #rdw - uitgezocht door Tesla omdat we geen eigen autoindustrie dus totaal geen competenties op dit gebied hebben - medeplichtig gemaakt aan een lange lijst van soms zeer heftige dodelijke ongelukken. Zoals Zembla heeft uitgezocht: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3A3AAK5Nrk&ab_channel=Zembla De onvolprezen #vvd met slager #HenkKamp nam hierin de hoofdrol, alles moest aan de kant om godheid #NaziMusk te pleasen. @bnrnieuwsradio https://www.bnr.nl/nieuws/mobiliteit/10575913/musk-doet-beroep-op-rdw-om-teslas-autopilot-europese-wegen-veiliger-te-laten-maken?

Mexico’s Gov’t Warns of Legal Action Against Musk After He Falsely Links Sheinbaum to Drug Cartels

Mexico’s government has warned of potential legal action against Elon Musk after the tech billionaire falsely linked Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to drug cartels. Sheinbaum spoke from Mexico City yesterday. Claudia Sheinbaum: Well, we’re considering whether to take some legal action. The lawyers are looking into it, but what matters to me is what the people say, honestly. Musk’s comments came in the aftermath of widespread violence in Mexico between cartels and Mexican forces in response to the killing of the country’s most wanted drug lord, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho.”
