Terrific piece by @rexhuppke.bsky.social on Elon Musk, White Nationalist
Wow, Elon Musk sure does like White people | Opinion
Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a guy whose social media platform most companies still use, is a BIG fan of White people. Problematically so.

This reminds me of the guys who said they didn’t want to vote for Hillary Clinton because she’s too ambitious.
Chill, dude. Did you ask her out and she rejected you or what?

Eileen Gu may compete for China, but the only entity she truly represents is Eileen Gu, Inc.
The American-born Gu has become a lightning rod for political outrage, but really what she's doing is playing the system for all it's worth.

Folks, I watched “Malcolm X” for the first time since I saw it in a theater when it came out, and it is just as good as I remember it. Still one of my all-time top 5-10 movies. Denzel Washington is f*cking phenomenal.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
