And yet still: we are not getting blaring headlines that this incredibly powerful man just supported Germany’s most far right party since the Nazi Party.

Musk does this constantly....

This is not an outlier. It’s how he works. There is example after example of this. It’s not just a trend: it’s just how he operates....

He has made it clear for years that he sees American Jews as no more than extensions of Israel. We have no worth outside of it.
His supporters agree.

As he does quite often, he was "just asking questions," so his hate was often ignored.

This combination of his spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories, reinstating neo-Nazis and other far right accounts, and destroying moderation was beginning to snowball into a perfect storm of mainstreamed hate.

A few things on this:
1. This seems to confirm that this was a personal intervention on the part of Musk.

@POTUS so nice that you have a Threads account! But guess what? You being here is helping the most dangerous techno-fascist oligarch in America. You are fueling the extremism you claim to want to counter.
