What does QElon Musk love the most: Nazis or Hunter Biden's cock?

Elon tweeted then Deleted this image for some
unknown reason
"Villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot... Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well-camoflaugued."

Elon Musk's mask-off revelation via Twitter shows what's been bubbling underneath his doughy white exterior;  Elon, or more properly "QElon" because his twitter feed is no different than any other rightwing Qanon account, is a rapacious sociopath who grew up in pampered privilege, non-working wealth, and a racist Nation-State with clearly delineated class and racial lines. Qelon Musk's philosophical belief system is a cobbled-together hodge-podge of the Warhammer 40K, History channel specials on Nazi scientist super weapons, and an apparent adherence to Robert A. Henlein's sci-fi fascist TANSTAAFL nonsense which hardened into a belief his superior Musk Sang'Réal will spawn a strain of superior human who will colonize the Universe.
 
Elon Musk's acquisition and demolition of Twitter highlights a key deficit liberals and the erstwhile left need to address; i.e. recognizing who is and who is not your ally. Elon Musk is not, nor has he ever been an ally of freedom, liberty, technology, or humanity.  He's a fascist and has been for a long time. 
“So city of SF attacks companies providing beds for tired employees instead of making sure kids are safe from fentanyl. Where are your priorities,” Musk tweeted, tagging San Francisco Mayor London Breed. 
Musk put beds into the Twitter HQ on Market St in San Francisco and was reported for this building code violation. This is a classic rightwing attack, in which the criminal conservative complains the government is going after them instead of going after other criminals. Several of the January 6th insurrectionists made this claim to absolve themselves of the multiple crimes they committed.  Special people deserve special rules and QElon Musk believes he is the most special person in the world.

Since, Qelon bought Twitter and gained access to loads of confidential data, he's released hyped up nothing burgers purporting to prove every rightwing conspiracy true.  Qelon's ridiculous  'The Twitter Files' collaboration with odious Matt Taibbi was going to prove President Joe Biden and Ukraine were in cahoots, this is exactly what Donald Traitor Trump was pressuring Ukraine to claim in his "perfect phone" call leading to Impeachment #1.  In reality, the laptop which has no chain of custody and no real evidentiary value has yielded naught but pictures of Hunter Biden's cock and images of his substance abuse struggles.  (Follow the link for a long dissection of the bullshit laptop narrative.)

However, what should be noted is the rightwing obsession with Hunter Biden has one very clear and very sick goal:  to place terrible emotional and mental strain on Hunter Biden, to overwhelm him so, he suffers a relapse, turns back to illicit drug use, overdoses and dies.  Republicans want Hunter Biden to die so that Joe Biden suffers and is unable to run for President.  

Certainly, Republicans expect to benefit from the Corporate Media bending over backwards to pretend Republican political kabuki theater is valid and the Republicans have perfected their techniques since the Republicans focus on Bill Clinton's penis in the 1990's.  There's a whole different post about the rightwing obsession with left-leaning penises both famous and infamous. 

Is this the face of a right-winger who would 
spread lies?
'The Twitter Files 2' saw skeevy Bari Weiss breathlessly reveal that Charlie Kirk was not allowed to simply spew his rightwing falsehoods unchecked on Twitter.  It should be of little surprise that Kirk along with other rightwing provocateurs has tripped over their own dicks to heap praise upon Qelon Musk as he brings back Their Free Speech, 
"One of the most unexpected and courageous things I've seen is Elon Musk buying twitter," Charlie Kirk
The 21st century Republican notion of freedom of speech has been thoroughly dissected by educated and thoughtful political observers; but I believe the succinct definition of: We get to do whatever we want and You don't, fully encapsulates the rightwing response to everything. We get to bandy about pictures of Hunter Biden's penis. We get to call people whatever we want. We get to scream and shout and threaten whomever we want for any reason true or untrue. We Rule and You are Ruled.

It's simply authoritarianism repackaged for the social media age and gussied up with false definitions of freedom and blatant lies about the Right of Free Speech.  

Straight unadulterated fascism calls for criminal
trials for political enemies.  Get Ready...
Qelon Musk is just getting started...
But, as bad as the open Authoritarianism on display from rightwingers everywhere is the inability of leftists to spot their allies and know your enemy.  Years ago, many leftists believed Qelon was an ally of sorts as he pushed the TESLA, not realizing Musk made his fortune on the backs of workers and with the time-honored tradition of using other peoples' money;

Elon Musk has built a multibillion-dollar fortune running companies that make electric cars, sell solar panels and launch rockets into space. And he’s built those companies with the help of billions in government subsidies. Tesla Motors Inc., SolarCity Corp. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, together have benefited from an estimated $4.9 billion in government support, according to data compiled by The Times.

Musk isn't an ally of anything other than enriching Musk, To expect anything other than rank racism and pompous unearned self-congratulations and incorrect proclamations about "free speech" on society from him is a category error.  And as Qelon now is pushing a hand-in-glove collaboration with Ron DeathSantis in going after companies which create mRNA vaccines it's a fatal one.

But, Qelon has an on-line army of Musk-o-vites, who correctly see him helping advance the worldwide embrace of White Power, Fundamentalist Supremacy, and Fascism.  Which, understand is precisely what Faux News, every Republican in the federal government, legions of on-line trolls, and rightwing domestic terrorists desire.

Additional:
Sam Seder on The Majority Report points out that Bari Weiss inadvertently revealed  the domestic terrorist account Libs of TikTok was specifically shielded from banning under Twitter's old rules because of Chaya Raichik's reach and influence amongst rightwingers.  I have no doubt Dinesh D'Souza and other powerful rightwing terrorists received such preferential treatment.

Remember the Economic Reform we need is Tax Reform and the Sadism of Capitalists

"How much more money do we want to steal from the American people to fund more government? I'm for no more." Speaker of the House John Boehner, tells America that the "People's House" will impose taxes on Real People which they'll give to Corporate "Persons".
 Capitalism is more correctly understood as Neo-Feudalism. Great Houses and Barons have morphed into Corporations and CEOs. And for Neo-Feudalism to flourish there needs to be a vast majority of workers for whom there is no future other than toil and labor and who'll give birth to the next generation of labor.

The Economic Reform we need is Tax Reform. 1 in 4 Corporations pays no Income Taxes. Companies involved in the Military-Industrial-Complex fraudulently overcharge the military Hundreds of Billions of dollars, Oil Companies receive government subsidies and transfer the clean-up costs on their disasterous oil spills onto the American taxpayers.

Procter & Gamble, the Cincinnati-based company behind Pampers diapers and Tide detergent, reported a federal tax burden in 1969 that was 40 percent of its total profits, a typical rate in those days. More than four decades later, P&G is a very different company, with operations that span the globe. It also reports paying a very different portion of its profits in federal taxes: 15 percent.

Apple is the current in the spotlight for their Tax Dodging schemes. Apple in 1980 created a shell company in Ireland, "Waldwill Limited". Now, Apple doesn't make anything in Ireland these days, it's Cork Office is in charge of European distrubtion and product support. But, it is a handy dandy country to funnel the $30,000,000,000 USC in profits in order to pay $0 US Income Taxes.

Proctor and Gamble and Apple aren't the only ones. Most of the 30 companies listed on the country’s most famous stock index, the Dow Jones industrial average, have seen a dramatically smaller percentage of their profits go to U.S. coffers over time, even as their share prices have driven the Dow to an all-time high.

That is what is going on here. Corporations and Rich Thieves have made the US Tax Laws a Byzantine Mess of contradictions and loopholes which they know how to navigate in order to steal Trillions and hide their filthy lucre in off-shore accounts, just waiting to be repatriated tax free when the properly bought politican makes it possible.

But, while these Rich Thieves engage in artful dodging of tax laws and self-congratulatory back slaps for their "Capitalist Ingenuity" there is a strain of Sadism in methods. Because Taxes are what the Poor pay because if the Poor where blessed and virtuous they'd pay No Taxes.

An article by the noted Austerity Sadist Michael Kinsley illuminates how Austerity isn't about Deficit Reduction but an ardent and fervent desire to punish the Wicked Poor as a happy by-product of enforcing a noble Neo-Feudalist State.

Austerity is designed to Cut Government Spending not the Deficit. Because that Government spending goes to The Wicked (i.e. the Poor) it is not right that the Rich Man who is synonymous with Righteousness suffer.

And there can be no Greater Good than Lower Taxes as a reward to the Noble and Virtuous.

But, if the problem where merely one of Effective Tax Rates, simply highlighting the Massive Income Inequality that exists in America would show how the Goal of the Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics and Bush Tax Cuts were designed and implemented for no other reason than to create a society in which the Richest One Percent live better than the Pharoahs of Ancient Egypt.

The Plutocracy gets a Sadistic thrill when Americans vote away their birthrights. The Koch Brothers Propaganda Machine Americans For Prosperity released an email when the Sequester went into effect lauding Speaker Boehner and the House Republicans, 
[T]oday Americans for Prosperity thanks Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans for standing up to President Obama and making sure the $85 billion in much-needed sequester spending cuts took effect. 
As an example, I was out at a leadership event in Portland, Oregon this week where Beth, one of our dedicated Americans For Prosperity activists, told me how she had sent personal messages to each of her 243 Facebook friends asking them to contact their member of Congress to tell him to"keep the cuts" so we can "get our economy moving again." 
The Koch Brothers, Banksters, Tax Dodging CEO's and Sadistic Economists aren't interested in the US EConomy but in transferring as much money upwards as possible and creating a GovernmentApparatus  which will enforce and perpetuate their Noble Neo-Feudalist Utopia.

A tiny sliver of reality about presidents and debt [Open Left]
It's not just that Republicans are "fiscally irresponsible." It's that they're constantly using Keyensian-style deficit spending to drive the economy, all the while claiming that what's driving the economy is the "free market forces" they've "unleashed."
Why Aren't Conservatives Funny? The Teabuggers. [Gawker]
Maybe it's because absurdity and hypocrisy — staples of political humor — are far more prevalent on the right. If a family-values conservative gets caught with a wide-stance in an airport bathroom stall, or claims to be "hiking the Appalachian trail" when he's in fact schtupping the Argentinian woman, that is amusing.
A Bullet in the Heart is Worth Two in the Bush [Ranger Against War]
The US Marine Corps has contracted 800,000 ACOG's at $660 Million USD ($825 per unit in 800,000 lots) for the USMC. Not such a good deal when the catalog lists them at $792-$836 for lots of one, depending on the mounting system.
The Psychology of Power: Absolutely Power corrupts, but it corrupts only those who think they deserve it [The Economist]
These results, then, suggest that the powerful do indeed behave hypocritically, condemning the transgressions of others more than they condemn their own. Which comes as no great surprise, although it is always nice to have everyday observation confirmed by systematic analysis. But another everyday observation is that powerful people who have been caught out often show little sign of contrition. It is not just that they abuse the system; they also seem to feel entitled to abuse it.
O'Keefe/Breitbart: Felony Arrest, Manipulation of U.S. Senator's Phone Not What It Seems [Brad Blog]
But just imagine the years of outrage and endless repetition of the charges from the Rightwing media and their acolytes --- folks like Crazy Andy --- that would accompany four operatives allied with the Democratic Party, perpetrating a scheme to dress up as phony telephone company employees in order to access and manipulate the phone system in the office of a sitting Republican U.S. Senator.
Medieval Minds and the Plutocratic Plague [Glenn W. Smith at FireDogLake]
It takes more than a willingness to lie to convince Americans that health care reform is a communist plot or that Obama is an illegal alien. It takes contemporary political media more welcoming of artifice than truth. And, it takes money. No one disputes that right wing spending over the last 40 years has warped our political opinion environment. Their think tanks, television networks, publishers, hate-radio hosts and front groups dominate the message environment. But our reaction too often reminds me of Medieval Europeans’ reaction to the Plague.
Medical journal 'Lancet' retracts study linking vaccines to Autism [Too Bad the Damage has been done and the Anti-Vaxers are Resurgent]
The journal published the controversial paper by Andrew Wakefield and colleagues in 1998. That, in turn, prompted many British parents to abandon the vaccine, leading to a resurgence of measles.
