"It’s a fascinating thing to watch far-right radicalization unfold in real
time. I’ve been watching the Elon Musk and Twitter drama with a mix of
fascination and awe. He bought Twitter as part of his romance with the “free
speech”/anti-“cancel culture” right and Donald Trump. Just what set him off on
that path has never been adequately or convincingly explained, though there are
a number of very plausible and not-mutually exclusive theories. Over the last
four weeks Musk’s attachment to this crowd and that ideology have been
constantly apparent. He gave an early and even for him startling taste of this
when he tweeted out a rank gay-bashing conspiracy theory about the QAnon
dead-ender’s hammer attack on Paul Pelosi days before the November 8th
election. The process has only accelerated and intensified over the subsequent
four weeks."
