Wow, up until now Musk has been so responsible with his acquisition of Twitter. This came out of left field.
Musk is a right winger, or at the very least, very sympathetic to right wing ideas. He is creating a safe space for the most extreme right wing personalities, out of a once relevant and useful social media site.
How much longer before everyone with status and a shred of integrity, leaves Twitter in the dust and we can all move on while Twitter becomes just another 4 Chan, 8 Chan, 8 Kun... or whatever that shithole is called nowadays?

(48,978 posts)Fuentes recently made headlines for dining at Mar-a-Lago with former President Donald Trump and Kanye West, now known as Ye. At the time, the rapper was fielding public backlash for a series of antisemitic statements. Fuentes and Ye would later appear on Alex Jones InfoWars, where they unleashed a new torrent of antisemitic tropes. During the interview, Ye lauded Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler while denying the Holocaust. Fuentes has since continued to publicly praise the genocidal leader responsible for the death of millions of Jewish people.
Fuentes rose to prominence as a Trump superfan, attending the Charlottesville Unite The Right Rally in 2017. He went on to found the America First Political Action Conference, an effectively white nationalism-focused alternative to CPAC. Multiple members of Congress have attended the conference, including Reps. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
An avowed white supremacist, Fuentes has repeatedly called for the subjugation of influential Jewish people and the embrace of Christian nationalism in the United States. If were going to make America great again, weve gotta talk about this anti-white thing thats going on, he said in February 2022. Weve got to make America a Christian nation again. And you can understand why influential Jewish people in conservative media are not really gung-ho about that. Theyre not promoting white identity. Theyre not promoting this.
