Fascinating, how this literal South African colonizer has inserted himself into U.S. government. I see all this as right on-brand and in keeping with [white] Americaβs dark history of racial subjugation against anyone not white. Elon Musk is basically the worst Americansβ white nationalism mascot. πΊπΈ

The small silver lining of this is it gives you time to prepare for whatβs likely ahead for us.
