What political agenda does he share with Nick Fuentes? They are complete opposites.
Links to competitor platforms being suppressed lol. Other social media sites ban you for having viewpoints that do not align with theirs. Who cares about linking to competitor platforms?
> What political agenda does he share with Nick Fuentes? They are complete opposites
They don't agree on everything, but it's simply wrong to state they are on opposite sides. They're both far right public figures and extreme Trump supporters that later became critics of the administration. I wouldn't label Elon as a Nazi, but he thinks racism is based just like Fuentes and is generally supportive of Nazi talking points which he is wont to retweet.

That's literally systematic censorship. The fact that you so flippantly dismiss it says a lot about your intellectual honesty on the topic.
> Other social media sites ban you for having viewpoints that do not align with theirs
Totally false.
Elon is not far right by any metric. Nick is. Nick isn't an extreme trump supporter, he even advocated for not voting for him in 2024.
Elon thinks racism is based? Same Elon that wants millions of indians with H1-B visas? Is that the far right view?

Like what?

Censoring competitor platforms is the least of my concerns when it comes to censorship. I am much more concerned about opposing views being silenced.
> Same Elon that wants millions of indians with H1-B visas?
i think it's 100% true that somebody can be racist and also want to abuse the H1B program for personal gain
> I am much more concerned about opposing views being silenced.
which opposing view? let's be specific. some views are actually based in antisocial, harmful, selfish, worthless greed and we don't have to platform them.

He's obviously far right and everyone knows this, it's not worth my time to argue the point. Funny coming from someone throwing out insults like "delusional".
> Elon thinks racism is based? Same Elon that wants millions of indians with H1-B visas? Is that the far right view?
The two do not contradict each other. We're on HN, everyone understands the financial dynamics that underpin Elon's support for Indian immigration, none of that precludes him from racism. Your reasoning is even weaker than "the black friend" defense.
> Like what?
There are many examples. Google "you have said the actual truth" for one. I won't do further research on your behalf since you don't really care.
> Censoring competitor platforms is the least of my concerns when it comes to censorship
In other words, you don't actually care about censorship, you just have an axe to grind.
> I am much more concerned about opposing views being silenced.
And yet Twitter regularly silences critics while propping up sycophants. It seems to me that you're just dismissing it because it aligns with your biases.
