The richest person on the planet, who owns one of the biggest social media platforms, spends his days and nights amplifying anti-migrant rhetoric, boosting far-right agitators, and promoting films that glorify vigilante violence as the answer to migration.

Why is Elon Musk boosting an anti-immigrant film loved by the far right? | Mehdi Hasan

Does anyone seriously think this kind of amplification is harmless?

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are demons. Absolute demons. If this was World War 2 and Hitler was alive, they would be pouring public fawn over him. They absolutely disgust me. The pits of humanity right now. I've run out of angry invective to generate in my head to represent my utter disdain for them.
