  The man is partially Jewish, lol. His dad was/is Jewish
context: For context: AfS (Alternativ för Sverige, Alternative for Sweden) is a far-right political party, and NMR (Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen, The Nordic Resistance Movement) is Sweden’s largest neo-nazi group >
  
  Is Afs related to the German afd? >
  
  Yes and no. No, they aren't an internationalized party, but the right-wing populist to fascist parties of Europe maintain close relations with each other and with Russia. >
  
  
  Shapiro told Expo that he is happy to answer questions concerning his journalism, but that he does not want to answer questions concerning whether he has been involved in contacts between Nya Dagbladet and FLI.
  “I have no comment on that”, he stated in response to our questions.
  
  So I take that as a yes then, since Max Tegmark (the MIT professor) is his brother. 
  
  Markus Andersson, the editor-in-chief of Nya Dagbladet, had little to say to Expo upon hearing our questions about the newly-registered foundation, ending the call with the words: “You may not ask any questions at all. You can go to hell.”
  
  Lol >
  
  MIT you say? Interesting. Should be fun seeing where this goes in the next couple weeks >
  
  I should say so >
  
  
  Nya Dagbladet received a message: the foundation to promote “independent journalism” that he was in the process of setting up had been approved a major grant of money. The sum of $100,000 – about one million in Swedish currency 
  
  BRB, have to go start a foundation for sexy parties uhhhh I mean journalism. >
  
  Nobody is reading the article. The non profit group that is also funded by musk and Morgan freeman did not pass a regulation process.it was a grant and failed. 
  This is a non story…and Tesla fud. >
  
  Everything is a conspiracy for you guys, huh? We can't just point out the worrying nature of one of the richest men in the world openly embracing far-right ideology, it's gotta be about how we want you to lose money. >
  
  A concerning trend amongst the super wealthy. >
  
  Yeah, if this letter is genuine, and went out before the “non profit” paperwork had even gone through, I’m very curious to know how that connection came about, and why the FLI guys felt so passionately about the issues that they were proactively okayed a $100K grant to an org that didn’t even exist yet. 
  Because the associated website has gone viral a few times, but for reasons that don’t exactly scream “deep thinkers worthy of major funding”. That’s just me though. >
  
  Elon musk supporting Nazis who would have guessed it? Almost everyone's? Oh ok. >
  
  Oh please... You say it like his background somehow would have like ties with an oppresive and racist system like the "Apartheid" or something and how his family profited off of it
  Oh wait that's literally true
  Weird uh? >
  
  The only thing I didn't see coming is that Musk would have the good sense to launder the money through a third party rather than donate to the Nazis directly. >
  
  Why not? Centrist dumbfucks will still defend Elon Musk anyway >
  
  It's really an example of one of the "Famous Moments in History, Reimagined By Centrists" >
  
  Im thinkin it might be time to take a harder look at "nonprofits" >
  
  Waaaaaay overdue >
  
  It’d be great if Nazis could just go the fuck away. You lost a world war. Your ideas are bad. Take the worlds biggest L. >
  
  Also impractical, they estimate that only like 10% of the world identifies as “white” (or whatever the regional equivalent is) and in that group nazis would prob only claim 5% based off their ideals. It makes not sense and is pure evil, literal demons. >
  
  All that he wants is another baby, he’s gone tomorrow grimes >
  
  Wait what? >
  
  Cracked did an actually good exposé on how The Sign is about embracing a fascist ideology and how “All That She Wants (Is Another Baby)” is a covert racist anthem against so-called anchor babies. >
  
  
  good exposé
  
  No, it wasn't. >
  
  Publish your rebuttal, then. >
  
  I don't need to. It is Cracked that makes the outlandish claim and they back it up with nothing. I believe Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs would have had a prosperous career as a music critic for Cracked. >
  
  Your skills in rhetoric leave much to be desired. >
  
  I don't care, you're probably like 14 years old and have no clue about how things were in Sweden at that time. I care about facts, and that Cracked article isn't full of it. It is well known that Ulf Ekberg was a nazi before Ace of Base, as was a scarily big portion of young people in the late 80s, early 90s. But the rest of the group wasn't. >
  
  Musk, who grew up in apartheid,  having connections to racism? Naaaaaah. >
  
  Musk, the same guy who funded a Venezuella coup under orders from Trump. Doesn't make me curious. >
  
  I miss the days when assholes with too much money made insane villas on huge estates with super lasers in the basement, tormenting secret agents, instead of funding grubby little fashes. >
  
  I always wanted to ride on the underground trams the henchmen used. >
  
  Right? They may be a supervillain but they design good mass transit! >
  
  Shit birds come in flocks. >
  
  Shit Apples >
  
  Elon 👏 has 👏 always 👏 been 👏 alt-right 👏 >
  
  Bruh like he comes from apartheid emerald money. How was he able to trick people so easily?
  oh wait >
  
  He's now denying it even existed and his fans are eating it up 😂 >
  
  The denials are amazing. "He only owned HALF an emerald mine! And the emeralds weren't that big!" >
  
  EIon's just following his passions. >
  
  Is there actually any reason at all to think he's a secret nazi, or are we just calling him that because we don't like him and we don't like Nazis so QED?
  Edit: lots of downvotes but somehow not a single reference or piece of evidence. How very strange >
  
  I mean. Is he a secret member of a neo-Nazi sect? Probably not. Is he increasingly sharing a lot of ideology associated with neo-Nazis? You bet. >
  
  Such as? >
  
  Supporting Ye for president lmao >
  
  Oh, do you mean the endorsement he took back after Kanye elucidated his far right views? >
  
  You mean after Ye said the quiet part out loud? Big “I was only joking” energy from Elon. Unless you agree that Elon is a clueless fuck that didn’t know anything at all about the guy he was endorsing? >
  
  If you're insistent on assuming the worst about people I won't interfere >
  
  What we’re they hoping to gain? >
  
  Things that don’t surprise me, this. >
  
  What a combination of demographics. Rich emerald mine heir, MIT professor, Swedish folks, and Nazis. >
  
  It would not be the first time in the last hundred years when rich miners, professors, Swedes and Nazis came together. >
  
  I’m honestly shocked! No not really. Birds of a feather flock together >
  
  And shit birds shit together >
  
  Time to get James Bond...oh wait... >
  
  Not related but I have watched Tegmark’s videos on YouTube about physics and it sounds like he has no idea about the subject. He just recites buzz words >
  
  FLI does a lot of great things, I can't believe they fucked up this badly >
  
  “I can confirm that FLI hasn’t paid any money to the organization you mention and doesn’t plan to. Please direct any further questions to Max.”
  where is the evidence of the offer?
  famous professor's conspiracist brother either puts a request in to brother's foundation.... which they grant (then rescinds when they realizes it's nazis, not just loonys) or his brother doesn't grant it at all.
  I'm no fan of musk AT ALL , but let's not tar everything he touches with his stink. 
  Meanwhile r/vpuetf is spamming this everywhere. I'm gonna crosspost this reply. >
  
  Can't we just send him to Mars already? >
  
  The future of life institute is not an "Elon Musk-funded" non-profit. It is funded by thousands of individuals including Stephen Hawking before his death. 
  Seems media has made adding Musk's name to anything to get clicks a standard at this point. >
  
  They are definitely playing the internet-click game with that headline. The title for the Swedish version was "Famous Swedish scientist were to donate a million (SEK) to far-right foundation.".
  I'm more disappointed in Max Tegmark who signed the donation. He's probably the most famous scientist  in Sweden and has done a lot to promote science.
