That is a fine stance however it means he then has to go seek it out and update people after he has seen it
No it's bullshit. He knows what it said. He's giving Musk cover. Fascists always give other fascists cover.
Well obviously, that’s why he’s not going to get back to us
And then the answer of “didn’t see it” no longer holds merit
No he doesn't. He doesn't owe anyone that. He simply didn't see the tweet. we aren't all obliged to succle at the teat that is "X" at all hours of the day like rabid squirrels. "I didn't see the comment" is a legitimate answer and should bar no further investigation. Get over it.
It's a brief comment. He has spent longer talking about how he hasn't seen it than it would take to see it, this is disingenuous theater. He's intentionally deflecting so he doesn't have to choose between alienating the fascists that comprise his base, and alienating the moderate R voters that he needs to supplement the fascists if he wants any chance of electability.
ok.
If you don’t know something then you should learn it
If you don’t care to learn it then the answer should be that you don’t care
...or he could just say what he said? Not everyone is obligated to pay attention to Musk.
Or it has nothing to do with him, so why bother? jfc you people.
So basically what I just said, you think he should have said he doesn’t care
no. don't put words in my mouth. It's not pertinent to his campaign. people like you just want him and anyone else to 'take a side' so you can have your "gotcha" moment. no one should comment on things they don't know about. What he said is a perfectly fine answer to a question. you're just mad cause he won't stick his foot in his mouth so you can point and scream.
What side?
I’m not mad about anything, I don’t care what his stance is
Notice how I said I don’t care instead of I don’t know?
Because I’m not going to go digging to find out
Great, that's you. you realize not everyone is the same right? or are you that much of a 'main character'?
now you’re completely avoiding the topic that you challenged
Hold yourself to a higher standard
whatever you say dude.
This dood is either simping for DeSantis or Elon and I csnt tell 😂😂😂😂 why tf are you so adamant about this stupid bs. If DeSantis is saying "he didn't see the comment" it's likely because he shares the same fuckin ideals. How hard is it for him to look it up and go "oh yeah that's antisemitic". But you're 40 yo boomer brain can't comprehend that apparently
you're a dipshit if you think 40 is 'boomer' age. second, I don't assume to know what other people mean when they say things. That's the problem with the internet. everything thinks they can divine what everyone means with everything. There is a such thing as nuance. But that's lost on the zoomer generation.
He's running for the office of President of The United States of America, and the multi-billionaire who owns what is still one of the world's most influential social media platforms openly spouts antisemitic rhetoric.
It seems pretty fair to ask a candidate about his view on that issue.
Elon Musk has nothing to do with it. Ask about the Israel issue all you want, that's fair. But it'd be like asking him about YOUR tweet about Israel. It doesn't fucking matter.
