An NBC News analysis of one month of Musk’s social media posts shows what’s been on his mind, including a broad cross-section of fringe political topics.

In recent weeks, the world’s wealthiest person used X to post about immigrants to Britain, saying they will cause the country’s collapse. He posted about examples of violent crime in Minnesota and South Carolina — where he does not live — and about judges in California and New York he believes are too lenient. Musk also smeared trans people, complained about Black-on-white crime, stoked fear about the end of civilization and shared his thoughts about the race of child actors.

Musk posted about all those topics and more in a recent one-month period, during which NBC News tracked and analyzed all of his posts for an in-depth look at where the tech billionaire focuses his attention online.

    As long as influential and popular people stay on the Xitter, under excuses,eg. ‘fighting back’ or ‘lack of alternatives’ , it will maintain to draw eyeballs and therefore $$$, and will keep the Ketamine Klown very relevant through his control of the disinformation machine.

    Musk left his role in the second Trump administration in May to focus on his companies,…

    Yeah this is misinformation. He left the administration because he was beat up for being up Trump’s ass a few too many times

      “That’s a good question! While Elon would seem to be the best choice due to his history of extreme right-wing comments, Mussolini has the added benefit of being dead, so he would be the best.”

    So this is what happens when someone is so pathetic and attention seeking that even MAGA wants nothing to do with them.

    MAGA + tankies + every else = Fuck Elon
