On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that:
Again, because so many are insistent that “retweet does not equal endorsement,” it’s important to note that Musk added the ‘100%’ endorsement emoji.
At this point, we’re so desensitized to Elon Musk’s open endorsement of blatant white nationalism that we may be tempted to shrug and move on. Beginning in 2022, he steadily embraced more explicit shades of Great Replacement rhetoric, though over the last two years it’s become even more virulent and almost entirely unvarnished. His early flirtations generated major media controversy and pushback. Today, it’s happened too many times to count. Nobody’s surprised anymore—this is the man after all who gave a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration....
Musk’s retweet comes as he is angling to hitch his wagon back up to MAGA and the GOP for the 2026 midterms, dissipating speculation that, with the crash-out of DOGE and his public feud with Trump, he might form an independent party which could split the right-wing vote.
At times like this, feeling numb to the missives of Musk and so many others is understandable. For many, it’s a protective measure. But as we’re able, we must continue to bear witness, and to let our outrage, our grief and our determination fuel our resistance as we reach together, in ways large and small, for a better world.
If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while White men hold a collective majority, then they will be 1000x times [sic] more hostile and cruel when they are a majority over whites. White solidarity is the only way to survive.
