Appreciate The Marshall Project for reaching out to me. All too often, folks write about fire camps without talking to people who’ve been to fire camps. Not the case here.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people.
It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/
