Some random tweets (xweets?) from Michael Tracey on the recent Musk situation...
>>>Nowadays it's inevitable that a dispute over federal deficit spending will transition rapidly into pedophilia accusations.
>>>Is there any historical analog for a White House Senior Advisor who quit and immediately campaigned to tank the President's signature legislation, denounced him as an ungrateful liar, accused him of child sex trafficking and causing a recession, and called for him to be impeached
>>>Still marveling at the Epstein tweet. It would've been one thing for Musk to defiantly criticize some budget legislation. But then he decided to drop a nuclear bomb straight into the very "id" of online MAGA. You could feel entire epistemologies shatter in the blink of an eye.
>>>The truth or falsity of Musk's claim is almost immaterial. I personally think the "Epstein Files" hype is largely bullshit; Musk makes stuff up all the time. What's notable here is that he chose to plunge a dagger into the beating heart of MAGA -- Epstein is like their Holy Grail.
>>>Musk infamously accused a cave diver of being a "pedo," suggested Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked by a gay lover, claimed the US was sending $50 million in condoms to Gaza, and generally has shown a propensity to spread poorly sourced bullshit. So this would fit the pattern.
>>>If he didn't have a long history of hurling unfounded accusations of sexual depravity, amplifying poorly-vetted information, and mischaracterizing government records, maybe Musk's charge against Trump could be seen as tentatively credible. Instead it should be presumed fake.
