1/ Musk repeatedly tweeted Pepe the Frog memes, the main hate symbol posted by "Groypers" to announce shared homophobic, antisemitic, & white supremacist values, called a "people of culture".

Commenting "/ourguy/" as below means a "fren" Groyper, but who can't say it out loud.

2/ Musk's 1st act was to welcome antisemite Kanye West back to Twitter.

Musk tweeted actual Nazi propaganda photo to symbolize Twitter.

Musk tweeted antisemitic "puppeteer" trope & 💰💰 emojis to celeb Jews.

3/ Nazis use "88" as code for "Heil Hitler", since H is the 8th letter. One puts 88 in a post on another topic, then others respond with Nazi codes "14" or "1488" to identify each other.

Musk "innocently" tweeted 88 & hid neoNazi "Baked Alaska" saluting w image from behind.

4/ Groypers came out of the woodwork in response to Musk's tweets of Nazi & antisemitic codes, memes, & tropes, & his tweets of Groyper Pepe the Frog memes, with blatantly antisemitic comments, including in their profile names.

5/ Musk tweeted link to homophobic conspiracy theory site that Paul Pelosi was gay & this "explained" hammer attack.

Right wing Twitter & media responded with flood of 🔨🔨 🔨 emojis & gay bashing jokes, & the stochastic terrorism led to the Q Club mass shooting.

6/ Musk's overt support of, & re-platforming of Kanye West & other Nazis, Groypers, & antisemites on Twitter, also had real world consequences, like this open display in broad daylight in the heart of Los Angeles, with overt antisemitism, Nazi salutes, & acknowledgement of Kanye.

7/ Musk went beyond ordinary Groyper tweets and tweeted "kek", which is the version of the Pepe the Frog hate symbol based on an Egyptian God. "Kek" means "mass deaths" for Jews, blacks, gays, and their supporters ("normies"). The comments to Musk's tweets say it all.

8/ Musk tweeted transphobic message "pronouns suck".

Musk tweeted Qanon imagery on his nightstand.

Musk let medical misinfo & antivax back on Twitter.

Musk combined transphobia & attack on Fauci.

Musk falsely accused Fauci of causing millions of deaths.

9/ Musk defamation of Pelosi & Fauci is elder abuse that caused physical threats.

Musk masked notice of antisemitism to @ADL, & of elder abuse to SFPD (so may be felony Obstruction)

Musk made "unavailable"

Musk refuses to respond to reports of doxxing Pelosi's home address

10/ Musk censored statisticians who corrected erroneous data analysis, & false statements, made by major antivax "physicians" groups who pay Twitter to advertise false medical claims.

So Musk may not have Section 230 liability protection if mass deaths.

11/ Musk censored screenshots of ads by Disney and others placed next to racist, homophobic, antisemitic FILTH, so advertisers would not find out.

This *may* be corporate fraud, as explained in this thread -

12/ Musk may have fired part or all of his Americans with Disabilities Act compliance team. Twitter does not respond to ADA accomodations requests, which may result in Twitter being shut down if found out of compliance, and worse if it was intentional.

13/ Elizabeth Warren accused Musk of CRIMINAL Theft.

"Musk pulled over 50.. Tesla employees.. including key staff.. use of Tesla employees raises questions about whether Mr. Musk is appropriating
resources from a publicly traded firm.. to benefit his own private company"

Also, please retweet your favorite parts of this thread, so others can see screenshots of what Musk is putting out there.👇

15/ Elon Musk trying to shut down basic bioscience research in USA.

He's making blatantly false statements about medical science.

Eg, gain of function research is for ANY organism, lethal or not, disease or not, & includes gain or loss of properties.

16/ Twitter ignored my reports referenced in #11 above ☝️

Twitter placed ads by Disney, Marvel, & others, next to accounts & tweets I reported, like "I kill Ni**ers for fun"

When I tweeted screenshots to the advertisers, Twitter locked *me*, and left the ads up next to FILTH

17/ Before Musk, Twitter would immediately take down Nazi accounts with death threats.

But the *Nazi-sympathizers* who didn't quit Twitter when given a chance, investigated as indicated in the masked tweet below👇, & decided to leave up the FILTH as in the second tweet below.👇

18/ Search an expression like "hate J*ws", go to the people tab, click a profile pic, then look who they follow.

Elon Musk is often 1st in their list of who they follow.

These accounts were created *because* of Musk's tweets. An example is the 3 screenshots below 👇

21/ Musk boosted antiscience and antivax, telling people not to trust experts & somehow do their own research (like Qanon). Antivaxxers added Musk to who they follow.

Search "vaccines kill", click on people tab, look who they follow, & note Musk is added in.
See 4 screenshots👇

22/ What can you do? Treat Musk Twitter as a honeypot for collecting homophobic antisemitic white supremacists. Search "Groyper", go to the people tab, pick one, go to their follows & followers, & post stuff like 👇

23/ Musk posts cartoons that supporting gay & women's rights, or masking, vaccination, & boosting, is a result of brainwashing

Musk owns the Twitter communication network and SpaceX, upon which national defense depends

How does Musk have a security clearance, after tweeting 👇?

24/ Musk singled out just ONE religion to mock, Islam.

In a naked display of islamophobia, Musk called Islamic teaching "brainwashing".

Musk simultaneously called displays of symbols of gay pride "brainwashing".

25/ Musk's ownership of Twitter's MONOPOLY as an electronic b-board, let's him place ignorant, baseless, & FALSE military statements, at the top of everyone's feeds, putting national security at risk.

How is he able to avoid antitrust action, & retain SpaceX security clearances?

26/ Musk met w fascist environmental terrorist Bolsonaro, personally moderated re Brazilian elections, made false claims of the Brazilian election being rigged by Twitter, supported Brazil election denialism, made Twitter safe for Brazilian fascists, then insurrection in Brazil.

27/ Tesla has a pro-environment image, yet Musk is a main force supporting Brazilian fascist environmental terrorism.

Musk has made Twitter a right-wing safe space in Brazil.

This article is from six days *before* the fascist insurrection in Brazil.

restofworld.org/2023/musk-twit…

28/ Elon Musk has been PERSONALLY moderating tweets about Brazil’s election, almost since he took over at Twitter in October 2022.

Musk has boosted Brazilian election denialism since the election.

Why are Musk's businesses allowed to operate in Brazil?

nypost.com/2022/11/01/elo…

29/ Musk backed a Bolivian coup so Tesla-Brazil paid less for lithium batteries.

Armani: "You know what isn't in the best interest of people? The US govt organizing a coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia so you could obtain the lithium there"

Musk: "We will coup whoever we want"

30/ Musk tweeted "We will coup whoever we want. Deal with it"

Lies about election fraud were the basis for a successful military coup in Bolivia in 2019.

"Tesla wanted.. to build a Tesla factory in Brazil, which would be supplied by lithium from Bolivia"
peoplesdispatch.org/2020/07/28/we-…

31/ Musk overtly supports
fascist coups to increase Tesla profits as above, but is a Tesla factory in Brazil worth the deforestation caused by Musk's backing of Bolsonaro?

Musk-Tesla INCREASES carbon in the atmosphere by increased deforestation.

Tesla increases climate change

32/ This thread is regularly updated. Please add additional ideas and screenshots in the comments below.

Please retweet older tweets in the thread, so potential Tesla buyers and Twitter advertises are informed before they buy.

33/ Musk didn't know 88 was Nazi code for "Heil Hitler" in #3 above?

Not his 1st 88 tweet w accusations of boosting Nazis, didn't multiply tweet other numbers, & tweet context was rage for Musk re-platforming Nazis.

Tweeting 88 in this context is like tweeting 666 to churches.

34/ Musk replatformed Bolsonaro's "88" Nazi forces, personally took over Brazilian Twitter moderation, & personally promoted Brazilian election denial after Bolsonaro lost.

Bolsonaro's son earned his 88 Nazi badge training w Trumpers & was in DC w Ivanka for J6 insurrection.

35/ Musk replatformed Brazilian env terrorists & Nazis & boosted Brazilian election denial, trying to get Tesla factory in Brazil.

Tesla INCREASES climate change if it helps cut down Brazilian rainforest.

Brazilian & US Nazis & deforestation info here👇
seeingrednebraska.com/fascism/88-tac…

36/ Reality-based media didn't cover Tesla-Musk's indirect role in Brazilian rainforest deforestation, & in the Bolivian coup.

Twitter-Musk's support of Brazilian Nazism & insurrection was barely covered by reality-based media, eg by MSNBC Mehdi Hasan.👇
msnbc.com/the-mehdi-hasa…

37/ Musk's tweets & replatforming is Stochastic Terrorism- "incitement of violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted"

Nazi/antisemite -> hate crimes

Pelosi -> Q-Club shooting

Brazilian -> insurrection

Antivax/antiscience -> mass death

38/ Musk is knowingly causing rejection of scientific expertise & mass deaths in the elderly & scientifically illiterate population, by making false statements that efficacy of 2nd & 3rd COVID boosters has not been established.

Why? To increase Twitter engagement & cut losses?

39/ Musk allows MEDICAL FRAUD that results in deaths.

Quacks pay Musk to FALSELY advertise that deaths are caused by vaccines, & FALSIFY other info.

Eg, vaccines had nothing to do w Damar Hamlin's death, his doctor didn't say this, & CNN never ran such a story.
FRAUD👇

SHAME!

40/ Musk FALSELY wrote: "Twitter is arguably already the least wrong source of truth on the Internet".

Half or more of Twitter is FALSE claims of election fraud, vaccine disinfo, anti-science nonsense, quackery, & false political attack info.

There is no reality filter at all!

41/ Musk is using Twitter ownership to spread Russian propaganda & undermine democratic institutions.

Musk is spreading the false conspiracy theory that reliable news sources are secretly controlled by the government, & that they stopped asking government officials questions.

42/ Musk used Twitter ownership to promote Russia's interest in not sending tanks to Ukraine.

NYT: "tanks.. experts say.. would substantially increase Ukraine’s ability to drive back Russian forces..
Ukraine’s.. military commander.. said it needs.. tanks"

43/ Musk tweeted "the pendulum has swung a bit too far" towards equal rights for LGBTQ people, in the context of harsh new discriminatory laws against LGBTQ people in US states & in Russia.

44/ Musk went full anti-statistics, anti-science, & antivax.
His tweets are pre-scientific superstitious thinking:
Anecdotes, ambiguities, & baseless causation claims.
Not double blind placebo controlled studies w statistical analysis for precise objective probability statements.

45/ Musk falsely claims a video banned on most platforms for antivax & other lies, is "truth", including:

-Vaccines are not effective in reducing hospitalization & death
-Pfizer claims vaccines stop transmission
-Vaccines cause heart attacks daily
-Pfizer president is a criminal
