A day in Elon Musk's mind

Is it extreme to believe that illegal immigration is out of control.
Is it extreme to believe that we should have ID's at elections?
Is it extreme to believe that there should be a department of governmental efficiency when the government just lost billions in the Iraq war?
Is it extreme to believe that we should become a multi planetary species.
I read Elon's tweets daily and nothing is extreme.
This is one of the many Elon hit pieces because he doesn't go along with the mainstream programming.
But several of those things are part of extremist platforms. What it could look like or mean to hold one of those views alone in a vacuum is irrelevant, we're talking about what political action is taken by publicly endorsing an extremist faction's platform.
And this is not even getting into the things that are... I mean come on. Why is there no "is it extreme to amplify an anti-semitic conspiracy theory?" in your post?
I've never seen Musk promote anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
And none of those things I mentioned are extremist in the slightest.
Hitler thought Germany should have good roads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsautobahn
Hitler also thought Germany should have good railways: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitspurbahn
Nothing extremist in that, not even in the slightest.
It's just a shame about the rest of it.

It's hard to get more explicit than that.
@elonmusk: I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind.”
ADL literally defined racism as: “the marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges White people.”
Such that white people can't be discriminated against.
The ADL is a Jewish run organization.

I agree with Elon on this. I don't think this is anti-semitic, this is calling out Jewish communities for anti-white racism.
It's kind of disgusting that in your haste to demonize Musk you cherry pick your information instead of trying to get to the truth.
Jewish communities are not some totally innocent group of people they have flaws just like the rest of human beings and calling them out is not "anti-semitic".
Musk apparently doesn't agree with this tweet anymore, a while after his tweet he apologized and called it his dumbest post ever. Why did he do that, instead of explaining his tweet the way you did?

I'm only following Elons own words on this topic - he disagrees with the statements he made, and explained that he simply hadn't come into contact with a lot of anti-semitism before. Why did he do all of that, if he doesn't see any anti-semitism in the original post?

I have no idea if this is 'extreme' or not but U.S. Government Accountability Office already exists.
> GAO, often called the "congressional watchdog,” is an independent, non-partisan agency that works for Congress. GAO examines how taxpayer dollars are spent and provides Congress and federal agencies with objective, non-partisan, fact-based information to help the government save money and work more efficiently.
