I don't think it's that at all. I think it's more to signal that it's okay to be a racist piece of shit.
I get why he's doing it, I'm just saying it's pathetic on musk's part. The kid quit and Elon begged him to come back.
Other than being a shameless shitstain there's nothing special or unique about him compared to thousands of others his age
JD did the first post saying that being a racist piece of shit shouldn't ruin the rest of your life. Which is especially sad because this kids racist rant was about violence against people from India should be ok (and his wife is Indian along with his kids).
Then the media asked Trump who of course pretended to know nothing and said if JD said he should have it back he should. Then Elon posted on his own platform that the kid was coming back.
Not ok, a requirement.
I agree. From the Nazi salute to this, Musk is making it maddeningly clear that he is as racist and bigoted as we imagine, and wants to invite his Nazi friends to join in.
