"Whatever strategy they are pursuing by fanning Elon's balls"
Who is doing that? All I've seen is our guys saying "hey, isn't it cool that Musk is putting attention on some of our talking points?"
"Honestly, at this point you should just adopt our takes if for no other reason than not looking dumb and losing clout online"
I don't think people that are happy about seeing some of our talking points mainstreamed are saying it for clout. If anything it's the anons who were celebrating it as a neat little development while the e-celebs were all tripping over themselves to point out Elon isn't going to save us and he's going to say something cringe, as if it took any foresight to "call" either of those things.
I would suggest that the people obsessed with their own clout are more likely to be staying in their corner of the internet pointing out how everything isn't pure enough for them than be leaning into trends trying to force the basics of our worldview into public discourse.
I think Mike and the rest of TRS got burned from hanging onto Trumpism too long and now they project this onto everything. Ultimately no one got burned from Elon endorsing immigration. He's not a politician, no one is putting aside their activism trusting Elon to handle things. No one told anyone Elon had a secret plan to close the border. Literally no one is or was ever under the illusion that Elon is a secret national socialist, so this whole thing is directed against a strawman. Like what is even the argument here? Elon isn't a nationalist so no one can say it's a positive development if he helps normalise discussions of race and crime?
