As Haiti faces an extreme political and societal crisis amid a wave of intense violence, tech billionaire Elon Musk and right-wing pundits online are weaponizing unverified claims of cannibalism coming out of the conflict to advance a political agenda on immigration.

Musk and conservative influencers have spread the message to millions, smearing Haitian migrants as cannibals as they endure deep uncertainty about the future of their country and family members still there.

    Speaking of cannibalism. We always talk about eating the rich, but I think we need to do it literally just to prove a point. I’m a vegetarian but I’m willing to take a bite just to prove a point. I got the sweet baby Ray’s ready to go when you guys are up for it.

    Elon, Matt Walsh, Dim Tool and Ian Miles all in one article for saying stupid shit. Is there a proper name for that? The Full Grifter?

    Given that it’s almost always projection with these people, has Musk gone full Hannibal Lector?

      Not useless. Actively making the situation worse.

    A white African billionaire accusing black people of being cannibals.

    Can’t imagine where he got that particular bit of bigotry from…

    Imagine that. A billionaire child molester accusing people of being cannibals. What did this child molester base his accusations on? Did Elon the Child Molester just make up some baseless accusations to smear innocent people with or was he too busy molesting children to make up such a terrible thing about someone?

    Imagine having the ability to reshape the world, to impact thousands upon thousands of lives for the better, to make the Earth a better place than it was before you, to leave a lasting history that people will say your name a hundred years from now and feel inspired that they might be able to do something in a small way that you accomplished across all of humanity. But instead you actively choose to steer your life in the complete opposite direction and be a literal sack of shit named Elon.
