1. Either he is too stuid to know or

he is too stupid to care.

[mucifer]

10. too EVIL to care

[yardwork]

11. He knows exactly what he's doing.

This is Musk's equivalent to Trump's telling the Proud Boys to "stand down and stand by." It's a little louder than a dog whistle. Musk is welcoming the frog people back to twitter because he hopes to make money off them. He doesn't care about anything else.

[PatSeg]

18. Yes, I think you're right

He's not known to be subtle.

[crud]

2. What...is he like 15 yrs old or something?

[PatSeg]

19. Emotionally yes

Probably even younger than that, maybe 12.

3. He knows exactly what it means.

[OneGrassRoot]

4. Yes, just as Trump knows Fuentes...

is a Nazi. They know precisely what they're doing and to whom they're appealing.

5. The meme with the image of Pepe was apparently aimed at Alexander Vindman. See my thread here

https://democraticunderground.com/100217414790

for background on what's going on.

What's particularly important about this meme is the mention of psyops.

12. Thanks, missed that thread yesterday

Lots more info.

6. Eloon is getting creepier by the day

[RAB910]

8. He was always creepy, it's more like people are getting to know him a lot better

[Victor_c3]

7. And he wonders why advertisers are fleeing Twitter n/t

9. Who is surprised by this?

[marble falls]

14. Seriously? Immigrant is the word you condemn him with????????

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. There is a pattern here

16. That could be a stretch (Musk saying 88 million years from now)

Maybe not, it's hard to say.

[Docreed2003]

17. The folks who replied are all far rw, white supremacists

They knew exactly what Musk meant. Look now further than the guy who typed "88? Ok we're back"

[dalton99a]

21. +1. He did it on purpose - to restock the platform with Nazis and bigots

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. A while back ADL came out to my law firm and did a course on hate groups

I had not realized how nuts the sovereign citizen groups are. My middle child is litigating some cases with these nut cases and they are really crazy.

The neo-nazis are really serious about 14 and 88. I have no doubts that Musk was playing to these nutcases

[Arthur_Frain]

20. Maybe.

I think if we start down this path we’re going to sound as crazy as the performance artists spouting numerology revelations outside of every tfg rally.

I think it’s a pretty obvious “you’re welcome here” matt, but that’s all.
