Amid the never-ending frenzy over Hasan Piker, the GOP’s top donor just posted a bizarre pseudoscientific statement about Jews, DNA, and white identity. Plus: Congress says you have to like Israel.
Still waiting for any white supremacist to explain what it is that makes whites superior. In my 50 years as a white Mississippian, the only thing I’ve seen “us” be “great” at is theft. Theft of land, of life, of ideas, of opportunity, of freedom, of dignity, of innocence, and on and on and on…
Why must we consider his thoughts at all? Money. Money in the hands of someone not really mentally fit to have it. People with empathy are better than those without, pretty simple really. When and why did we allow this? oh yeah capitalism, it has no empathy either, Bingo!
How would a DNA test determine who is Jewish and who isn't anyway? Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity. Jews come from all corners of the world--Europe, Middle East and Africa. Clearly, Musk has lost his marbles. You're giving too much air to nonsense.
Were Musk just a fuel monger I’d agree with you, but Musk is not. Without being elected or confirmed by the Senate, Musk, though DOGE, was given inordinate power by the regime to dismantle our government, and he’s the #1 individual donor to the Republican Party. So his views reflect the party itself and must be scrutinized.
Jews have always been white adjacent. They were part of the colonizing class and participated in the Atlantic slave trade as well as every other colonial project. A couple thousand years ago they were not white but then they traveled to Europe and converted Europeans into Judaism. Are there people who immigrated to Israel that were not Jewish but white? Yes. Plenty of Russians and other Eastern Europeans did this to be allowed out of their countries. But Elon is just trying to get attention. Nothing more. People need to stop giving him attention and ignore him and his antics. He’s short bus. 🚎
"White" is a false distinction that falls apart under examination. If everyone had labels like food it might mean something. Until then, it's the province of lazy thinkers, short-cutters and dehumanizing stereotypes. If you don't know the percentage of "white DNA" (if there is such a thing) in the person next to you, you need to accept you can't guess it, and move on to something more constructive.
"Part of the colonizing class"? Wow. Not my family. Russian immigrants to Canada, poor as can be. But they did well there. My grandmother's nephew was an MP for forty years. My dad's family struggled, but his older brother put him through medical school. The kids became professional musicians, school teachers, professional chef. Colonizers? Please refrain from gross generalization.
Are your Russian ancestors indigenous to Canada or are they white immigrants who reap the benefits of white supremacy ? The fact that you even wrote what you wrote is comical. Jews from Europe are white adjacent like I said.
Ah yes, the greatest hits of internet pseudo‑history: Jews were ‘white adjacent,’ ran the slave trade, colonized Europe, and somehow converted entire populations. Reality check: Jews have been persecuted minorities in Europe for centuries — expelled, ghettoized, massacred. They weren’t the colonizing class; they were the scapegoats of it. The Atlantic slave trade was overwhelmingly driven by European empires, not Jewish communities. And the idea that Judaism spread by mass conversion of Europeans? That’s not how Jewish history works — Judaism is one of the least proselytizing religions. So if your argument is built on recycled antisemitic tropes, congrats, you’re not edgy, you’re just quoting 19th‑century propaganda.
People and institutions belonging to virtually every major religious tradition present in the Atlantic world included some participants in, beneficiaries of or opponents of the transatlantic slave trade. Religious affiliation alone, however, does not explain responsibility for the trade.
You’re full of ignorance and lies. But keep telling yourself what you just wrote. I don’t see plantations owned by Muslims or Hindus in any country colonized and participating in the trade. Move along clown.
Muslim traders enslaved Africans for centuries, transporting them across the Middle East and Indian Ocean. The Arab slave trade predated and overlapped with the Atlantic one, and enslaved millions across Africa and the Middle East. Hindu elites in South Asia were part of caste‑based bonded labor systems, not Atlantic plantations, because India wasn’t colonizing the Americas. So no, you won’t find Hindu‑owned sugar plantations in the Caribbean — because that wasn’t their empire. Pretending that absence equals innocence is just cherry‑picking history.
Calling me a clown doesn’t make your historical claim true. The Atlantic slave trade was a complex system involving multiple European states, merchants, plantation societies, investors, and individuals of different religious backgrounds. You can debate the extent of particular groups’ involvement, but assigning collective responsibility to an entire religious or ethnic population is not serious historical analysis.
I’m ignorant and full of lies? You just made a sweeping generalization about an entire group of people and scapegoated them as if they are single handily responsible for the slave trade.
“Jews have always been white adjacent. They were part of the colonizing class and participated in the Atlantic slave trade as well as every other colonial project.” Where do I say that they were entirely responsible? You’re ignorant and a typical obtuse idiot who wants to make up shit. Your reading comprehension is below average on your best day.
Your reading comprehension is lacking and you should get off social media since you like to make up fiction. Nowhere did it say that they were fully responsible for the Atlantic slave trade. But since Sephardic Jews are part of my ancestry I don’t lie about what they have done throughout history. Unlike you.
How about read my Substack blogs before you jump to the conclusions that I make up “lies and fictions”
you just insult people for a living because they disagree with you.
Yes some Jews benefited from the slave trade but just as we should not make the generalization that every Christian or Muslim participated in it, we also shouldn’t make these generalizations about Jews.
I have a degree in history and my ancestors have been in this country since 1620!!Yours probably came from the gutter. You’re so butthurt that it’s very clear that you don’t know history. Since you posted about my Adams ancestors I would like to add that the Levy family bought Monticello and continued holding slaves there. I was literally just there last month. My family lives in Williamsburg. You are just a 🤡 Probably not even American.
According to my DNA, I am 99.9% Ashkenazi Jewish, and look it. I also have been told I look Italian, and I've also been told by a total stranger to "go back to where you came from."
I'm assuming that my sisters are also 99.9% Ashknenazi Jewish. (Nobody was adopted.) They take after my father's side of the family, which is Bylorussian, or White Russian. Boy, are they white!
What's a Jewish "look"? What kind of nonsense is this? Who is this invasive species from South Africa, like panic veldtgrass, which my dogs eat and then barf?
Why must I ask so many questions? Because I'm Jewish! Duh.
Oh, the pasty white south African is a hateful piece of sh*t. Read an article about him years ago - curious about who this buffoon was - and found that he was a distasteful young lad & so was his family. Let us get real: He is NOT intelligent/smart/innovative in any way shape or form. He is a to-the-bone racist, white supremecist(that moniker includes Jews no matter color, country of origin, or anything else), misogynist, & Islamophobe. If he wants to waste his money trying buy elections for maga idiots, he can do it. BUT that does not change WHO or WHAT he is.
I think Musk is getting this from Tucker Carlson. Carlon's point is actually a pro-palestinian one, that Aske-nazis cannot credibly say their ancestors were deeded the land by God 3000 years ago because they are not descended from the original inhabitants.
My goodness, is there going to be a day when my mind is not going to explode 🤯? Hope people stands up against the hypocrisy, double standards, and anti-Semitic rhetoric of the ugly Elon Musk. Also, I hope people stay focused in November. I only see progressives taking us out from this hole. Donate, donate anything you can. Volunteer to campaigns.
LOL. The only moral compass in the GOP, nee’ most of congress, is money and power. Religion and manufactured moral outrage are tools used to manipulate the poors while they rob us blind.
Thank you for the article, Mr. Hassan. Musk doesn’t know what he as he is full of the drug ketamine. He waisting money at a losing proposition. Trump is keeping over 400 million no the campaign kicker for himself. Most likely he will buy more crypto. I predict that Trumps presidency he will be a lame duck. I believe perhaps that maybe new healthcare insurance like Medicare for all will happen.
Republicans should be asked to disavow Elon Musk over his latest creepy antisemitic post! And if they aren’t, that will in no way mean that anyone who associates with Hasan Piker shouldn’t be asked to disavow PIker’s antisemitic statements! Your argument is essentially that there should be a double standard, but that the double standard should be applied in the opposite direction. Come on, man. You’re probably better than this.
Other than the 2024 presidential election* look at the races the pasty tub of lard has poured his money into and lost. With informed voters (that’s us and independent media), we can vote in overwhelming munbers so he loses more. Look at the money he could use to help people instead of hurting them.
* based on his own tweets, we know he rigged voting machines to boost the PedoFelon.

Also a white Mississippian. Ditto.
You read my mind.
So F*CKING right. simplified, THEFT> lauriemillerjade.com
Why must we consider his thoughts at all? Money. Money in the hands of someone not really mentally fit to have it. People with empathy are better than those without, pretty simple really. When and why did we allow this? oh yeah capitalism, it has no empathy either, Bingo!
Yes more money than sense.
"We must consider Musk’s thoughts." Thats your first mistake. Hey maybe you want to consider his "feelings" next. go ahead.....I'll wait.....
change your name to Don Quixote already and find another windmill

You having a Jewish ancestry does not absolve you of the fact that you essentially made an unfair generalization about Jews.
And I’m not saying they’re above criticism nobody is but let’s not act like only one group was solely responsible for the slave trade
How about read my Substack blogs before you jump to the conclusions that I make up “lies and fictions”
you just insult people for a living because they disagree with you.

I don’t need to read your pathetic blogs on the history of my country. Move along 🤡

“he celebrated Trump’s inauguration by giving what looked to a lot of people – including Nazis – like a Nazi salute”
As you might say, “looked . . . like” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
People like Musk and his ilk wouldn't recognize an antisemite in a room full of antisemites ... or while looking in the mirror.
Elon gave up ‘Twitter’ & ‘Tweet’ for X. Careful now, Bluebird picked it up and is launching Twitter.new
Be interesting to see Elon’s DNA 🤣 Could be very revealing.

Elon Musk has outlived his usefulness . His future is dire. It couldn’t happen to a worse human being.
