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.
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!
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. 🚎
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…
Responding to and giving credence to a Twitter survey asking if Jews are “white” is so offensive, anti-Semitic, and grotesque it blows my mind. And are Jews supposed to be grateful and relieved that Musk thinks most Jews can pass as “white”? WTF?!! How can any American who is not a fascist or comfortable with fascism continue to support the Republican MAGA Party? I don’t think they can.
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 a fascist hate-fuelled monger.
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.

Yes more money than sense.

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.
