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.
The Post corrected this quickly, but it makes you wonder what their inputs were.
Raman didn't concede. Her full speech was on C-Span, 12 minutes, easy fact check. The "she cried bc she lost" stuff was entirely RW X/YouTube chatter.

I would say his site should be blocked, but thanks to Starlink he’s beyond reach (which is point of Starlink).

If you need a script for getting your company off Twitter, I WROTE YOU ONE. Multiple people have used it, successfully, to explain the legal liability your company incurs by forcing employees to be on a platform with child sexual abuse material. I will help you use it. anildash.com/2026/02/23/t...
Just emailing your boss, CCing the head of HR and your own personal email, and including a simple statement of the facts of what they are asking you to do by being on that platform is enough for any logical business to decide not to take the risk. If they want to be irrational, make them say it.
I am not a lawyer, but I am an expert in social media, an experienced White House policy advisor on digital strategy, and an angry motherfucker who thinks the richest man in the world shouldn’t be inciting white supremacist mobs and selling kiddie porn. Because I’m normal. Is your boss normal?
This is the key part; make your employer verify in writing that you (or your team) are expected, as part of the duties of your job, to be exposed to child sexual abuse material. They *of course* then have to provide a method of reporting it, and resources for supporting those exposed to it.

- the same but with your local DSA chapter
(both passed unanimously btw)
This is a useful guide, with concrete steps to taking action, for getting your company to leave Twitter/X and preventing your school from implementing genAI in the classroom.
