Elon Musk is an antisemite

That story (which I like and agree with) ends with: "This isn’t a call to action, but merely a statement of fact: The richest man in the world who controls one of the most influential information arteries is a loud and proud antisemite. And it’s time we all get comfortable saying it."
To which I say 1, this is not the first time the richest man in the world was a loud antisemite, and 2, yeah actually I think it is a call to action.
@fraying Oh please, Elon Musk is NOT anti-Semitic. Just because someone criticizes ADL doesn’t automatically make them anti-Semitic. Even the CEO of ADL said that Elon is not anti-Semitic, and also said “I don’t think Twitter as a platform is anti-Semitic.” Please stop with your anti-Musk propaganda.

@fraying he’s absolutely not an anti-Semite and even the CRO of ADL stated this during the interview. Stop spreading such slanderous lies please.
@griffd Read the fucking article and get your lips off Musk's ass.
Calls to action:
1. Don't do anything that lands money in Elon's pocket. That means not using Twitter/X, not buying Tesla.
2. Encourage others to do the same and explain why.
3. Contact our reps and demand we divest from his companies, which are funded though our government. See: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-shadow-rule
That'd be a start.
@fraying Don’t forget Starlink, along with Twitter and Tesla.
I was very excited to hear we might be getting real internet brought out to my area soon, so I can ditch them.
And yeah, just visiting the Twitter/X website lands money in Elon's pocket because it adds views to the ad program. Delete your fucking account already. Deprive him of your content. And don't go to that sewer of a website, even just to rubberneck at the disaster. All traffic helps him.
@fraying nothing I can do that can make Elon lose money more than Elon running Twitter/grimesite
Twitter/X is nothing more than a neo nazi training ground for Musk cultists now. The nazis are there. The next mass shooters are there. You shouldn't be.
@fraying
God mode: Set your DNS resolver to NextDNS and block all traffic involving "brand x." That's what I do on my phones along with Fakebook (and other Meta properties), TikTok, data brokers, and adware companies. Another upside to that is that I get to play games on my phone without being afraid they're giving my playtime data to one of those brokers.
@drakenblackknight Already blocked all twitter/x domains on the router.
@fraying
I'm not the only one who uses that router and my wife still visits brand x.
@fraying
Refer back to what Morpheus told Neo about people not ready to be unplugged way back in 1999.
@drakenblackknight I get it. Gentle encouragement is the way.
@fraying
It's baby steps with some people. I have mixed results with my suggestions, though I did get people to start using Brave as their default browser and Signal as their default messenger.
@fraying I can’t believe I actually admired that man at once. He’s no different than the other rich asshats.
@dangrsmind That was point 3 - those companies are almost entirely funded by our government
