“Musk isn’t necessarily spreading fascism, but he is taking advantage of its rise.”

I don’t really think you can say he isn’t aiding in its spread. When someone encourages something, makes it possible for those who actively promote it to do so, and interferes with the ability of those who oppose it to do so, you really gotta acknowledge they’re helping the spread.

Of topic but I have to talk about MSNBC, is always talking about Biden’s age. Never hear about the Queen or the Pope. They had Jim Carville on today talking about Biden’s age. I remember last year Carville and Bill Maher was talking about a red tsunami that didn’t happen so why put them on.

“he is a proponent for free speech while helping authoritarian governments do exactly that “

More like “do exactly not that”.

“... they also thought that Elon Musk would personally intervene on their behalf if the platform censored or restricted their posts.”

In their (slight) defense, Elon had already sacked 3/4 of the staff at that point; maybe they figured there was nobody else left to complain to.😁

It is highly likely Jordan Peterson's fawning all over Elon is directly very profitable for him. https://samray.substack.com/p/the-grooming-of-elon-musk-a-psychological-139
