[Update] Musk Apologizes Over Mocking Hospitalized Paul Pelosi After GamerGate Attacker Tried To Kill Him
A Series On Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
Elon Musk fomented hate against the LBGQT and mocked a victim nearly killed by a man who illegally was in America, radicalized by Fred Brennan’s GamerGate, but has apologized today, months later, after maximum damage had been accomplished.
There were more tweets than just THAT one QElon dropped to smear Paul Pelosi, but hey, he said he apologized so I guess that means it is all good, right?
This sort of thing is part of the normalization process, pushing the envelope for as long as possible, followed by people accepting what happened as normal during a calm stage, then to repeat things pushing the envelope a bit further. Musk isn’t sincere, rather he is conditioning people.
While accept an apology when given, know Musk will again be amping things up, dropping weaponized memes and tweets, just not too likely until after he loses his current trial over lying about taking Tesla private to juice stock prices.
For a bit of added perspective given here by Jim Stewartson, there was a piece I missed that makes things more obvious.
