1/West is no more “mentally ill” than Musk. They are both exhibiting signs of heavy influence. Indeed it is some kind of plantation mindset that seems to want to excuse West as lacking agency and being a victim while assuming Musk has full agency. In fact, evidence suggests they have collaborated for years and continue to do so now.
2/What we are seeing here is a form of Kayfabe intended to warp the Overton window, choke out other reasoned discourse, and scramble our sense-making capacity. Don’t let them do it. Give them no quarter. This is a war; expect acts of war.
Klassiker@davetroy multiple goals behind this act: They can shift the discourse a little bit more to the right, the players on the networks are trying exactly this right now ("hey, that part wasn't that bad" etc etc) and Musk could show how the really bad stuff still gets moderated to sow reasonable doubt about his intentions and how far he really is in the right wing corner. We can watch those attempts in real life as some pundits are spinning it right this way.
