Interesting observation

Elon Musk is intrigued by the idea women can’t think freely because of ‘low T’

Every time I think #Elon #Musk can’t possibly sink any lower, he grabs a shovel and starts digging.
As well as throwing money and an endorsement Trump’s way, Musk has posted multiple #false #election #claims and reposted a fake version of Kamala Harris’s first campaign video that has been #doctored to make her say she is the “ultimate diversity hire”.
When Musk isn’t meddling in politics, he’s busy posting #misogynistic #memes on X, the social media platform he has slowly been turning into an advertiser-haemorrhaging #cesspool of #hate.

He’s posted an extraordinary amount of unhinged content in the past, but last Sunday he really outdid himself:
the billionaire reposted a tweet from “Autism Capital” that suggested that
♦️ “women and low T men” are not able to think freely because they “can’t defend themselves physically”.
♦️The only people who can think freely are “high T alpha males and aneurotypical people ...
♦️this is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a
🔥democracy only for those who are free to think.”

So what did Musk write in response to this wildly sexist post that originally appeared on #4chan, the far-right messaging board that has been described as the “blueprint for white supremacist groups”?
He wrote: “Interesting observation.”

I was reading #Parker #Malloy’s latest piece in The New Republic
Her argument is familiar to those of us who have been critical of the Washington press corps’ coverage of Donald Trump,
especially its practice of ➡️ making his habitual incoherence seem coherent.
Most important is Parker’s introduction to a wider audience of #Aaron #Rupar’s term to describe that practice.
It’s “#sane-#washing.”
Here’s Parker:
⭐️This “#sanewashing” of Trump’s statements isn’t just poor journalism;
it’s a form of #misinformation that 💥poses a threat to democracy.

By continually reframing Trump’s incoherent and often dangerous rhetoric as conventional political discourse, ❌major news outlets are failing in their duty to inform the public and are instead providing cover for increasingly erratic behavior from a former — and potentially future — president.

⭐️The consequences of this journalistic malpractice extend far beyond misleading headlines.

By laundering Trump’s words in this fashion, 💥the media is actively participating in the erosion of our shared reality.
🆘When major news outlets consistently present a polished version of Trump’s statements, they create an alternate narrative that exists alongside the unfiltered truth available on social media and in unedited footage
