Here is Margaret Sullivan, an especially astute observer and explainer, on the nature of Musk’s latest antisemitic conduct and comments. Particularly good on the antisemitism of the so-called Great Replacement theory. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/nov/17/elon-musk-antisemitism-social-media-hate-speech-

You're not alone, though. People decades ago went through that and began circulating the quip "Speak of the devil and in he walks"....not to mention the superstition of refraining from talking about something you want to avoid because speaking about it would cause a jinx.
We’re Schroedinger’s whites. Depends on who opens the box as to whether we’re white or not. Depends whether the box opener is using us as a good or bad example.

I can’t get over how Elon Musk is a classic Bond villain at this point, with the most essential attributes: an implausible-sounding name, absurd wealth, megalomania, out-of-control narcissism, a loyal cadre of sycophant minions, the ability to launch shit into space, “utopian” visions that aren’t actually utopian, and a singular obsession with James Bond.
And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a secret volcano lair too.

There will likely be repercussions following Woolley's killing, said Renaud, who agrees with other crime experts that it could be the start of a potentially violent period ahead."
