Sure, pal. Musk posted '1488 white supremacist trash' but then deleted it.

I'm no fan of Musk's, but the claim is moronic.

The image he's referring to is a fake.

However, the real tweet it is based on is pretty weird:

Musk is apparently both a free speech absolutist, and worried about a 'mind virus' that is causing civilization to commit suicide. Which doesn't feel particularly consistent.

It just drives me to distraction to see any blatantly fake story online. We connected billions of people to the internet to share the world's information, and this is the best we can do?

As for Musk, I certainly enjoy armchair-psychoanalyzing him, but I assured @dang the previous time I indulged would be the last :)
