To me it reads like missing the point - Musk's immigration history doesn't change the abhorrance of his views. But rather than addressing those views on their own, half this topic has been spent niggling into the details of Elon Musk's Visa.

I already made a detailed post addressed to you explaining why I disagree with your stance. It is always more abhorrent when members of a community/demographic seek to oppress other members of that community/demographic.

An example I didn't use previously is people like Tim Scott & Candace Owens legitimizing and boosting white supremacist narratives. Yes, white supremacy is bad regardless, however Tom Cotton being a racist towards blacks and Tim Scott being racist towards blacks, with the same motivation, does hit differently. There's even literally a term specifically used to describe it.

Musk's white supremacist views have already been discussed ad nauseum in a plethora of threads. This particular thread was created to bring new/different information, so it doesn't make sense that this is what bothers you. Nobody on this board that is a regular poster isn't familiar with his defense of and platforming of Neo-Nazis and boosting white supremacist/great replacement narratives. If true (the illegal immigration status), this would actually be new information.

Personally I think the views he uses his massive platform to promote are more worth our attention than whether he violated some statute in the 90s.

And we've had tons of threads about this in addition to it being brought up in every Musk-related thread which isn't about that, because informed posters make sure to mention it.
