It doesn’t get much more Musk than, "I polled the racists and they said racism is okay, so racism is okay "
See, I’d agree but this is Musk we’re talking about. I wouldn’t be surprised if this douche sent some poor, naive and overeager but overworked intern on a groundbreaking task to gain his admiration and trust by fudging some numbers with fake accounts. So while you think nobody needs to do that, that’s it’s terribly inefficient and only a psychopath drunk on power would pull such a thing, what you need to keep in mind is that this billionaire needs his ego stroked on every turn by some fresh young impressionable men, as he does.
I don’t know Musk personally but I believe this because there was once some poor, ground-feeding soul who went through this entire process to please his master and Tweeted about his weeks-long process adding some insignificant feature to the site as if it were groundbreaking work back when the site was still named Twitter and none of the replaced employees knew how any of that shit worked. The dude was nothing but raving and hyping himself up and down the feed kissing ass. I also believe this because one of his former team members blew the whistle on his Substack(?) on the unethical and probably illegal shit they were doing with bot accounts during the elections.
(I can try to find the blog post if you want to read it but trust me bro on the other guy.)
So he polled a bunch of bots and racist mother fuckers to see what to do with the racist mother fucker?
Geeze… so step 1. turn twitter into a racist cespit that only racists can stomac it. Step 2… use it as the platform for direct democracy…
Well to be fair, and I do not personally believe this is the right thing, no one said democracy needed to be inclusive. In fact for most of history democracy has been the opposite. So it checks out.
Remember when he polled Twitter about whether or not he should stop being CEO and the majority said yes and he ignored it anyway?
Now suddenly polls on Twitter matter?
They were racist remarks. Not inappropriate remarks.
Exactly.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account wrote in September. “Normalize Indian hate,” a separate post from that month read.
In July of last year, the account posted: “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.”
In other posts, from December, the account pushed for repealing the Civil Rights Act and shared: “I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask.”
