In a mood. Northwestern Wildcat. Vigorously GenX. Bugger off my profile if you’re here for crypto schemes. Amplify the bejaysus out of those who are elbow-deep in old-timey science/journalism so FACTS can kick rabble rousers in their propaganda sacks.

Elon Musk biographer here.
The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now.
Publicly. Daily.
The Post either knows this or should not be in business.
Helpful!

In his first big flex of power on Capitol Hill, Elon Musk shitposted a bunch of misinformation to kill a bipartisan spending bill that would have averted a government shutdown, threatened reps supporting it, and demanded Congress stop working until Trump is in office. Awesome stuff

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration.
VP Trump better pay attention.
In 2016, hundreds of tech workers signed a "Never Again" pledge, vowing to never let technology be used to enable autocracy. I wonder where these folks are now.

Welp, we have reached the part of the program in which Elon Musk is casually amplifying extremely dangerous international warlord Erik Prince, widely recognized as one of the worst men alive and a top advisor to Putin ally and election-interference co-conspirator MBZ
