Hey, read all the way to the end, they make a really good point. I could've copied and pasted it here as a quote, but I would feel bad copying half of the article. It's not long

I read it. Which point did you mean to single out?

I realize that it was dumb of me not giving more context. Sorry about that.

They talk about one of his posts on X, where he shares his appreciation for an interview between Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper.

Cooper claimed in the interview that the Nazis did not mean to murder so many people when they carried out the Holocaust and killed 6 million Jews during the second world war. Instead, Cooper remarked, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime simply was not equipped to care for them – and the podcaster blamed the British prime minister Winston Churchill for “that war becoming what it did”.

And then:

The billionaire announced in August that he was supporting Donald Trump as the Republican nominee seeks a second presidency in November’s election. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice-president, is also running in the election.

That... Doesn't clear anything up. What does a nazi have to do with anything?

His [Musk's] post said an interview between the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the podcaster Darryl Cooper – a fellow rightwing media figure – was “very interesting. Worth watching.”

So he is becoming a trillionaire because he liked an interview, got it.
