As I have pointed out here earlier, the rebrand of Twitter to a Swastika (X) was no coincidence. The Russian-backed acquisition of the platform, by a known white-supremacist who peddles baseless conspiracy theories, was designed to spread Nazism. So here we are.
In assessing the rise of pro-Hitler, neo-Nazi content, ISD analysts found that content glorifying Hitler, questioning facts about Hitler’s intent, or including English audio versions of his speeches, received over 50 million views …more easily accessible and had significantly higher reach on X than TikTok, Instagram or YouTube.
The content’s audio predominantly featured Hitler’s speeches translated into English via AI.On X, the visuals were primarily of Hitler…
The visuals on Swastika (X) are primarily of Hitler. Here is an example of how advanced AI is, translating Hitler’s exact words into English.
While the use of AI to make Hitler seem more American is novel (why not just use Henry Ford and skip the middle man), this story is really about promiment American businessmen in 2024 spreading seditious “America First” and “Silver Shirt” campaigns like it’s 1941 again.
Swastika (X) is a Hitler disinformation spigot by design, as you could guess from the “business” rebrand, such that management actively manipulates its technology to incite violent racism and domestic terrorism. There are few national security threats so clear.
…with just 11 posts garnering 11.2 million views in a one-week period. ISD analysts observed that after engaging even with an insignificant amount of pro-Hitler content, the X algorithm quickly adjusted to proactively serve this type of content.
The anti-American destabilization accelerant is obviously intentional, especially when claiming Europe is in danger or a white-nationalist state (“Mars Technocracy”) needs to be setup.
Elon Musk took foreign money to quickly adjust a propaganda platform in the wrong direction, facilitating harm to America.
Once you realize the whole “Mars” dog whistle is actually referring to a white nationalist state here on Earth — the Rhodesian fever dream by an Apartheid-loving South African — his huge delays and failures are really a function of American democracy standing in the way of dictatorship.
As a historian, it’s not surprising at all that people fall victim to fraud (promises of luxury from easy/rapid social gain from blind adoption of new tech gimmicks). The disruption of society through rapid change allows snake oil salesmen to exploit the most vulnerable groups. Just look at Tesla. It never was a luxury car, but a bare bones economy vehicle sprinkled with cheap compute gadgets, all misrepresented to obscure its sinister design.
Historian pro-tip: Nazi Germany was the least technologically advanced of WWII, as evidenced easily by an Army that depended almost 75% on horses. Yet many Americans to this day falsely idolize technology fever dreams of Nazism, unaware how its military spies agressively stole others’ inventions. Theft and fraud perpetrated as “innovation” rarely sustains itself, which also is why WWII basically was decided by 1942 yet Germany dug deeper and deeper holes (e.g. genocide) the more obvious the gross inferiority of Hitler became.
