Elon Musk has been criticized for promoting extremist views and individuals associated with right-wing extremism and neo-Nazism. Tweets indicate that Musk has shown support for figures like Martin Sellner of Generation Identity, who has been banned from entering the UK and US for being an extremist danger. Musk's actions include endorsing views that have been linked to promoting anti-immigrant racism, antisemitism, and the great replacement theory. Additionally, his interactions with figures linked to the Russian government's paid influencers program and individuals calling for genocide have raised concerns. This behavior is particularly alarming given Musk's significant influence in the tech and space industries, notably with SpaceX's control over the world's largest satellite constellation, which experts warn could contribute to space militarization and pose a global security threat. His endorsement of extremist views has led to over a million people protesting in Germany and is linked to the perpetrator of the Christchurch massacre. Moreover, SpaceX's spy satellite network deal is seen as a major step toward space militarization, with no good alternative to SpaceX at the moment.
One of the few times Musk has expressed any remorse was after he endorsed an antisemitic screed. Yet within weeks of this apology, Musk was back to promoting the “great replacement theory” that liberal elites are flooding the US with non-White immigrants. https://t.co/L3N8uPVAc9
Many other people promote racist conspiracy theories or favor appeasing dictators. But Musk isn’t most people. He is in a unique position to influence geopolitics because SpaceX controls the world’s largest constellation of satellites. https://t.co/L3N8uPVAc9
There is no good alternative to SpaceX at the moment, so, for now, U.S. officials may have no choice but to overlook Musk’s obnoxious and erratic behavior. But there are plenty of competitors on the horizon. https://t.co/L3N8uPVAc9

Elon spreading insane levels of anti-immigrant racist hate. People have compared him to Henry Ford, but that's not strong enough. Heavy 1930s "in the room where it happens" vibe. https://t.co/gmCGQ6gg01
