Who’s the near right?
-
In my country the near right are: The Left(Liberal), Christian People's Party(Conservative family values) and The Right(Capitalist). Middle right is The Progress Party(Liberal-Populist). And far right The Alliance(Nationalist-Populist), have no seats.

I have some intelligent and caring friends and it boggles my mind how they still think Musk is a "net positive". Every day we hear some new example of his recklessness, support of extremist regimes, double standards and generally making the lives of people around him worse.

Here's a comment I saw here a while ago, but when exoduses occur, the site becomes a shithole of far right ideas. Since the far right tends to stay put for whatever reason. I think they used Reddit predcessor as an example but I'm not totally sure
-
Like the American right.
-
British politics are becoming a lot like American politics these days
-
-
One of my motivations behind leaving.
It used to be a place for discussion of ideas. Now almost every story about has hundreds of comments, mostly hating on one group of people or another.
-
That and crypto scammers. That's basically all twitter is now.

Sadly the right is on the rise everywhere and not solely due to twitter, they just give it a more visible voice
-
Maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends on the country. In Canada, the right is mocked into oblivion and the message is pretty fucking clear that we do not want the shit that is happening in the US to slowly creep it's way here. Really happy with the progress we've done to push these brainwashed fascists away.

Have you not noticed how all the polls have put the Conservatives well in the lead for the popular vote ever since Poilievre took over and started pandering to fascists? The right is mocked online, but Poilievre stands a real chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. Canada is suffering a serious lurch to the right.

Didn't you have a massive blockade of anti-vaxers in a major city the other year?
-
Idk man, I’m in the US so my perspective is limited to media, but I do see things like the trucker convoys that make me worried that Canada has its own problems with the far right.

They’ve boomed on Swedish Twitter for like five years now.
-
Political extremism is on the rise anyway, Elon just gave them a way to spend $12 and beat the algorithm.
-
Far right all over the world is booming on Elon Musk's Twitter.
-
So are other political groups. What's wrong with free speech?
-
We don’t need to tolerate hate speech. Don’t cry to the government when the public rejects you and your shitty beliefs.

That's exactly what Elon Musk wants, and what could be expected from a South African white supremacist raised on the fortunes of an Emerald mine.
You have to keep in mind Saudi Arabia are the real owners of Twitter, sure their interests are aligned with Musk generally but you’re missing some important context if you boil it all down to Musk.
I don't think Musk cares one way or another, it's too much to ask that he has principles. He just wants people to look up to him and mysteriously it's that group. So he'll gorgle their balls as long as they gorgle his.
No you are wrong. Musk constantly align himself with the Maga crowd, the anti liberal and anti woke. If he is not an extreme right totalitarian, he sure acts like one. Of course he is also a narcissist and without principles. But being without principles doesn't mean being without opinions.
Because everyone to the right of Stalin is literally hitler according to you. How is Elon a white supremacist?
There are a few facists further right than Stalin (who was a far right fascist), not just Hitler.
