Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 27/07/2026On some level, fact-checking Musk's "zero died" claim misses the point. He's communicating in a coded race-war trope that his global fascist audience will instantly grasp: Zero people died *who matter.* He sees these USAID cuts as a dry run for much worse to come. newrepublic.com/article/2135... 171255363
Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 27/07/2026It's telling that Musk smeared his interviewer as a "traitor to the west." As he sits there abusing her in his edgelordy leather jacket, you can see his confidence in his ability to communicate with the global fascist movement rising in real time. newrepublic.com/article/2135... 13871195
Unnamed Democrat.bsky.social @unnameddemocrat.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I think the Golden Age of Western Civilization was the era when an ignorant, loudmouthed fool (even a rich one!) would be afraid to tell gross and palpable lies about being the world's greatest gamer because he would suffer complete and irreparable loss of reputation when those lies were exposed. 172
💛Magda Teter🟦📖 @mteter-historian.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I would ask him what are in his mind "western beliefs." That would be revealing. Have him define those. 021
Shore Patrol @shorepatrol.bsky.social · 27/07/2026With the rising cost of everything bullets are still only 12 cents a piece... Elon is worth about 13 cents in my eyes... I heard on the dark web Elon has a 10 million Bitcoin price on his head 💀💀💀💀 010

Bill @williamjc13.bsky.social · 27/07/2026That Guy is a rotten person from the tip of his toes to the top of his head. A “trillionaire” with not one good thing done with all that wealth. The worst kind of being. 1110
dinksetter.bsky.social @dinksetter.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Whenever people like Musk talk about "the West" or "Western Culture", I always mentally translate that to "white power", because that's what he means, and that's what his audience knows that he means. 0123
glowgirl7291.bsky.social @glowgirl7291.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Can’t even be bothered to hide his air of condescension. 010
jadedragon2.bsky.social @jadedragon2.bsky.social · 27/07/2026His behavior toward her was fully misogynistic and gross. 000
cattales.bsky.social @cattales.bsky.social · 27/07/2026He's confident that he can kill minorities and the poor so that he doesn't have to support them via taxes or humane policies. Failing that, he'll take like-minded whites on his spaceships to a new world. 280
Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 27/07/2026The pattern is unmistakable: *Nobody died from USAID cuts. *Nobody killed by ICE is innocent. *No Muslim in the UK can escape the charge of being a rapist or a murderer. *No Somali in Minnesota is there legitimately by definition. And so on: newrepublic.com/article/2135... 17937244
