Elon Musk Pushes View That Girls Are ‘Anti-White’ As a result of They’re ‘Weak’

Elon Musk has lengthy shared extremist views on X, the social media platform he bought in late 2022. However each now and again, his exercise on the platform is so excessive that it might nonetheless handle to shock even essentially the most jaded Musk observer. That’s what occurred Wednesday when the billionaire Tesla CEO retweeted an account that insisted ladies are “constructed to be traded” and are “anti-white” as a result of they’re bodily weak.

The social media alternate began on Tuesday when Musk replied to a tweet from an account referred to as Morgonn, who requested, “Why do liberal white ladies hate white folks a lot?” Musk replied, “They’ve been programmed to take action by their academics and the media.”

An account named Dr. Insensitive Jerk quote-tweeted Musk with a long screed that pushes the thought ladies are supposed to be “traded” between tribes and that white ladies particularly conform to “dominant tradition,” to remain secure as a result of they’re “bodily weak.” The tweet insists ladies within the West are “raised in an anti-white tradition,” and that’s why white ladies supposedly hate white folks.

“In the long run, they are going to be compelled to recollect they’re white. Higher they’re reminded of that by white males, as a result of the choice isn’t so mild,” the tweet ends, suggesting that anybody who isn’t white is bodily abusive to ladies. Musk retweeted the rant from Dr. Insensitive Jerk.

Extremists will usually attempt to argue their worldview as being grounded in some discipline like evolutionary psychology, implying that it’s all a part of the pure order. However in case that tweet’s use of “IMO” or “for my part” isn’t clear sufficient, there’s no proof for something this account claims past his personal opinion. It feels proper to the misogynists, so it should be correct.

The account Dr. Insensitive Jerk seems to often share racist concepts, together with a tweet from Sept. 2024 that reads, “Blacks persist with the Democrat celebration for a similar purpose your cat sticks with you. Free meals.” One other tweet suggested that Black folks ought to be segregated from white folks within the U.S. 

Musk often shares far-right concepts on X, the platform he bought in October 2022 and reshaped into the hub of extremism we all know at the moment. The billionaire allowed excessive voices to be amplified on the location in such a method that literal Nazis usually go viral on the location in a method that wasn’t permitted earlier than Musk took over. Musk, who gave two Nazi-style salutes on the day of President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, even invited Nick Fuentes again to the platform after he was banned for hate speech in July 2021. Fuentes is a Holocaust denier who overtly admits his hatred for Jewish folks.

Different extremist voices welcomed again to X have included conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, misogynist podcaster Andrew Tate, former Trump advisor Roger Stone, and anti-Muslim bigot Laura Loomer, simply to call a number of. There isn’t any query for anybody who spends even 10 minutes on X that it’s grow to be a secure haven for extremism—the type of web site that was once confined to the darker corners of the web. However Musk has helped his far-right concepts go mainstream. And even when he now not formally works for the federal authorities as the pinnacle of DOGE, he can nonetheless affect how the world operates by controlling a serious supply of stories for giant chunks of the world’s inhabitants.

None of Musk’s rhetoric is new. In November 2023, the billionaire replied to an antisemitic tweet with, “You may have stated the precise fact,” lastly kicking off a debate in mainstream circles about whether or not Musk actually was an extremist. The tweet, not like many others Musk has appeared to remorse, was by no means deleted. However Musk visited Auschwitz with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a few months later, which the media typically portrayed as a type of apology. Musk denies being antisemitic. Because it occurs, November 2023 can also be when the primary Cybertruck deliveries began.

Musk additionally defended Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams after he promoted the thought of racial segregation. Adams referred to as Black People a “hate group,” and stated that white folks ought to “get the hell away” from them on his YouTube channel, resulting in the cartoonist being dropped by his distributor. However Musk insisted it was members of the media who had been racist in opposition to white folks.

With the emergence of generative synthetic intelligence instruments like Grok, Musk additionally has the chance to form the way in which that issues are fact-checked on his platform. And it looks like each time he tries to tinker together with his robotic, he makes it much more excessive. There was the incident back in May when Grok began randomly speaking about supposed “white genocide” of farmers in South Africa, one thing that appeared to comply with a fact-check that Musk didn’t like concerning the subject. After which there was the day, earlier this month, when Grok went full Nazi, praising Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust in opposition to Jews.
