Also, Rwandan media *did* play an important role in the run-up to the genocide, but more than (though including) RTLM, it was intellectual and academic journals that radicalized the elite. Which I think speaks more to our current predicament (and the role of X) than the idea of manipulated masses.

Elon Musk is unambiguously calling for a violent race war.
This is far from unprecedented. The Rwandan Genocide was stoked and enabled by Felicien Kabuga, the wealthy owner of the RTLM radio station that helped coordinate the genocide and used euphemisms like "go to work" to signal attacks.
