In a since-deleted Substack post, a member of Elon Musk’s team praised an essay by Ron Unz—who has called the Holocaust potentially a “hoax” and said Trayvon Martin was “a violent young thug.”

    The cognitive dissonance is staggering. Kliger’s “awakening” via Unz’s pseudo-intellectual word salad illustrates how easily curated contrarianism morphs into ideological poison. That 2013 essay? A gateway drug for the terminally online—promising secret truths while smuggling in softcore bigotry. Now we’re supposed to believe he never noticed Unz’s descent into full Holocaust denial? Please. These thought leaders always play Schrödinger’s bigot: we’re just asking questions until the mask slips.

    DOGE’s recruitment pitch reeks of tech-bro messiah complex. “Streamline bureaucracy” doublespeak for dismantling safeguards while installing true believers. Technical expertise without ethical guardrails is just arsonists redesigning fire departments.

    But hey—at least they’re honest about wanting “backbone.” Translation: compliance officers need not apply. The revolution won’t be fact-checked.
