Citations Needed podcast did a Patreon members-only segment about it: News Brief: Musk Goes Full Alex Jones as Media Belatedly Mentions the Dreaded “I” Word
In this Patreon-only News Brief, we discuss the latest in Elon Musk’s rightwing coup of the regulatory state, how a couple of outlets are beginning to slowly, coyly mention DOGE’s ideological agenda, and how Musk and Trump have successfully built an alternative faux populist universe propped up by dishonesty and conspiratorial mud-slinging—exploiting Democrats’ insistence on being the party of legal formalism and the status quo.
Anyone who thinks these guys are about ideology is a fool.
And you’re a bigger fool for thinking they’re not.
They might be stupid. They’re certainly incompetent but they most definitely have an ideology.
lol they are nothing more than kleptocrats.
The rest is a ruse, for suckers.
That’s still an ideology
…it’s simply theft. A practice, not a belief seeking followers.
