  All these attempts to discredit musk come off as so contrived, on Reddit someone shared a screenshot of him saying he’d be interested to know what the world will like in 88 million years… (apparently 88 is a nazi dog whistle?).

  Only he was responding to a tweet about how Madagascar had broken off from the mainland 88 million years ago, so nothing nefarious, but of course the thread was full of teeth gnashing.

  A mod eventually sticked a comment saying “we don’t know musk’s intention, if he picked this tweet to reply to or if it’s unintentional, but there is more context”.

  This is more of that. Vindman isn’t a classically Jewish name, and I (a Jew) had no idea he was Jewish, I doubt most people did, he doesn’t exactly dress religiously or make it a large part of his public identity.
