Who do people like Musk and Zuckerberg think the "elites" actually are? What does this word mean to them? What does it signify?

ah so when you let in immigrants and refugees en mass it’s to create a permanent class of democratic voters to replace white people EXCEPT if they’re skilled tech workers

this was exactly the tucker carlson argument
Ben Gvir is talking about boats taking Palestinians from Gaza "voluntarily".

Glad that even with our 30-strong silent protest, Israel's ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely didn't manage to fill nearly half the auditorium at Limmud.
