https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/elon-musk-trump-x-views-b2605907.html

Elon Musk has used his large platform on X to promote a theory that a free-thinking “Republic” could only exist under the decision-making of “high status males” – and women or “low T men” would not be welcome in it.

On Sunday, Musk re-posted a screenshot of the theory – which appears to have been conceived on 4chan in 2021– on the social media site.

The theory, written by an anonymous user, suggests that the only people able to think freely are “high [testostrone] alpha males” and “aneurotypical people”, and that these “high status males” should run a “Republic” that is “only for those who are free to think.”

“People who can’t defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism,” the post reads.

“Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective ‘is this true?’ filter,” it adds. “This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think.”

“Aneurotypical” is not a word but one can assume the original poster meant neurodivergent people.

Theories like this, which promote hegemonic masculinity, are often criticized for being sexist, exclusionary, not realistic and “toxic.” They are popular in alt-right communities.

“Interesting observation,” Musk said, in response to the post.

The screenshot of the theory was uploaded to X by an account called “AutismCapital” which often posts memes that appeal to right-wing individuals and support Musk’s endeavors.
>>
Continued:
It claimed the theory was “also known as the Reich effect” - seemingly a reference to Robert Reich, the former Secretary of Labor, who wrote an op-ed in The Guardian last week claiming that Musk is “out of control” and needs to be stopped.

Much of the account’s Sunday content was targeted at mocking Reich while defending the billionaire.

It is unclear if Musk re-posted the theory because he agreed with it or because it critized Reich. It’s not unlike Musk to dabble in controversial theories and misleading information on his social media platform.

The SpaceX founder often takes the stance that controversial, and sometimes offensive, posts on X are part of “free speech” and should be allowed on the platform – even when it includes false or misleading information.

That is, in part, why X was blocked in Brazil on Friday. Musk refused to comply with a legal order in a long-running battle that ignited after the social media site failed to block accounts accused of spreading fake news.

The Independent has asked X and Musk for further comment on his repost.

Well Elon has been dancing for clown world for the last few weeks.

Something snapped inside him... some say its katemine abuse, other say he knows he's about to be busted for a SERIOUS crime he's committed (he's done so many its hard to say WHICH one.) Maybe he's realizing he's fucking done if Trump doesn't win and pardon him...

Yeah. Dude is a DEFINITE flight risk. He'll be living aboard that SpaceX jet of his just in case the Fed's raid him.

His longtime business associate and fellow insane tech billionaire Peter Thiel came out as an FBI informant not long ago. Wonder what he was squealing about?

Maybe Thiel spilled the beans on Musk to the fed?
>>
>>1337724
Yeah, sorta. Its much more complicated than Musk thinks. He views himself as an alpha when theres ample evidence to suggest he wouldn't qualify to be part of this ruling class.

While I hate woke bullshit too I don't think his insane plan has any merit.
>>
>>1337728
>he views himself as an alpha
No, he views himself as autistic. Which makes him immune to the herd mentality that plagues progressive wokies.

It's important to understand that most democratic voters are peer-pressured by their social groups to vote one way or another because they view issues like abortion, open borders etc as a moral issue rather than a practical issue.

This also makes them clinically retarded, because when a person cares more about how they look than the health of the nation, they begin to sacrifice the things which actually matter, like the safety of their neighborhoods.

Or not slaughtering the billionaires that have been greedy for decades now?

Cause the more you let them get away with it the more they'll take. Thats the lesson I've learned over the last 40 years.

Thomas Jefferson seemed to understand that eventually the people would need to spill blood to stop the greedy. We're there. We pasted the point. Its time.

Is that what you mean?

1. James Madison wrote the Bill of Rights
2. If I were suddenly transported back in time to when he was alive, I'd be of the position that Thomas Jefferson (and James Madison for that matter) deserve death.
3. Elon has literally cooperated with government persecution of dissidents to keep Twitter operating in autocracies. It would not be a stretch to say people are awaiting death because of him.

Owning an ISP is not "giving" anyone internet, nor does it make up for actively participating in authoritarian crackdowns.

Starlink, you fucking retard.
>>
>>1337791
Starlink is overpriced and it primarily a toy for his superrich yacht buddies who subscribe to his $30,000 a month service for their super yachts.

Whoopied doo.

Elon didn't invent or advance satellite communications. He didn't invent reusable landing boosters (he even admits that Spacex is carrying on where Dynasoar left off in the late 90's.) Elon wanted to buy Soviet missiles when he first started Spacex but he meet a REAL engineer who convinced him otherwise.

Elon is an immigrant troll. Nothing more.

Bitch, if you thought that was me not knowing what Starlink was and not me mocking the idea Starlink is the same thing as Elong "giving everyone internet", you're an absolute, fuckwit.

>I dont live in the middle of the Louisiana swamps, the Amazon rainforest, Botswana or the Ukrainian frontlines so no.
Ah, so you WEREN'T given internet by Elon. I accept your concession.

Also, Starlink is blocked on the frontlines, fuckwit. Cause Elon's a traitorous cunt.

My dude, you thought starlink cost $30,000 a month.

You clearly have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about. You're just randomly lashing out at Elon because he's on the "other team" politically. Peak low-T behavior.

>SpaceX has continued to restrict the use of Starlink Internet services outside the borders of Ukraine, including in Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine.[80] It has done so using geofencing, which consists in accurately limiting the availability of the service to only certain areas.[39] SpaceX has also limited Ukraine's ability to use Starlink for military purposes such as drone control.[81]
Literally cannot be used in or near Russian held areas, ie the frontlines. And no drones.

I'm going to make a guess here that Elon is going to rope eventually. His ego mixed with his need for attention mixed with his greed mixed with him believing he's FAR wiser than he actually is will not work out in the long term. Especially when his "role model" (it's sad he idolizes a human at all at his age, but okay) out of billions of humans seems to be Donald Trump. Also his personal life sounds like a mess. 12 kids (one being a transgender), a father that regularly BTFOs him and is currently single after a divorce.

Please pray for this man.

Its crazy these musk bros thinking he made starlink, or tesla, or the boring company,or paypal, or twitter. He just buys these companies he's after they become succesful. Dude is a clown and an idiot. Yes he has made some investments that paid off, doesn't make him smart just lucky, but he was born lucky into an emerald mine family. He has invented nothing, just riding the coattails of great inventors and using his money to promote himself as a genius off their work.
>>
>>1338060
>Its crazy these musk bros thinking he made starlink
It's crazy that googling this reveals that musk founded SpaceX, which in turn founded Starlink.

You faggots don't even know what you're talking about you are so gooning so hard on your hate boners
>>
>>1338065
You seem to confuse founded with made. The previous post was about how he used his money to pretend he was an inventor and rides off the coattails of actual inventors. Then you go on to call me a faggot and then make that exact same claim. He didn’t invent rockets for spacex. He didn’t invent anything for space x. He used his money to hire other people who had already invented things and then put his companies name on their inventions.

Thank you for proving my point, musk bro.

Calling Brazil fascist for asking musk to fact check misinformation on Twitter, peak conservative maga cult.

Absolutely. Have you ever met an autistic person? Even the “high functioning” ones still need their parents to buys them clothes and remind them about basic hygiene
>>
>>1338070
>You seem to confuse founded with made
So your argument is that he didn't personally make rockets or satellite internet, he just founded and directed the vision of the companies that were successful in accomplishing these achievements?

Whatever helps you sleep at night, retard. It really sounds like you are backtracking your argument into one of pedantism and semantics after you realized you were wrong.

Go check the drug laws in Oregon post, where conservatives go on about how cigarettes and alcohol should be controlled by the government to stop the people from hurting themselves. Go look at all the conservatives cheering on mass government control and nanny state, then come back here and tell us how democrats want to give control to the government. Your bias is hanging out but a few clicks over in this site will show you how conservatives love government control and any state that controls the things they think liberals love.

Dude gave some engineers cash to make shit that already existed so he could sell it for a profit. Wow. I can't believe Elon Musk invested money in someone. That's the sort of shit you'd only expect from...your average fucking bank.

If Elon were directing the vision of anything, it'd have failed, just like the Cybertruck and Twitter did. The only thing he touches that succeeds is shit he doesn't micromanage. Fuck's sake, dude gutted Telsa's charging network team so he could do AI/robot and that was like the most successful and forward thinking part of his company. Dude's a complete fuckwit that has simply failed upwards.

This part's actually kind of funny too.
He purchased both Tesla and Twitter from someone else, you can decide for yourself how they're doing
He was the person who founded and still leads SpaceX and starlink and those are doing great.

Elon musks always going to sniff his farts. Cheering on the oligarch as he uses his money to buy success. Then you point to that success as proof of his value while dismissing the purchase of that value as the reason he acquired it in the first place. Keep cheering on the rich as they profit off your ignorance.

Yes, he had enough money to make his vision become reality. If you think that's easy, look at all the lottery winners who wind up broke after trying to run their own businesses

Yes, Elon Musk is very good at managing money. And nothing else. And in that I include his personal and professional life.

What exactly is your point?

>Also, no, he's not a bank account.
Beg to disagree. Dude has literally fuck all technical training regarding any of the businesses he owns. He is 100% just a bank account. A big one that can afford massive fuckups like the Boring Company and Twitter and soon Tesla.

>>1338220
>One of the many advantages of not living in a tent and smoking fentanyl behind a Starbucks, desu
Elon Musk famously lives at work and does a fuckton of drugs though. I mean I suppose his office at Twitter HQ might be better than a tent depending on how much it's been stripped down to keep the lights on, but I wouldn't count on it.

>not allowed to shitpost in China: so much as thinking of having a wrong opinion about China would result in his Industrial Credit Score going down the shitter (just like Xitter has in Brazil) and his Tesla Gigafactory being seized by the CCP faster than he could say 'I was only pretending to be retarded!'. X not allowed in China is the price Muskrat had to pay for that factory's existence: and not allowed to have wrong opinions about China is the continued price he must pay in perpetuity
In Soviet China, trolled is him.

What the hell is happening with a poster with no reading comprehension?

And yet a 'Chang' - Xi Jinping - doesn't allow X to exist in China. Those with salad for brains have never learned that. But, if he wanted that Tesla Gigafactory of his to exist in China, Muskrat had to admit that Xi was right and X had no right to exist there. Like his fanboys, Musk is no 'high-status male' but is the bottom bitch of a 'Chang': Xi Jinping.
Said fanboys are doing this for free. For he being punished by Beijing & Brazil, I'm getting something far more valuable: schadenfreude.
