Musk Watch reports there’s a severe cash crunch at a certain information warfare platform that has been trying and failing to rewrite history.

…burning through cash at a high clip. Bloomberg reported last week that xAI had already exhausted much of the $14 billion it raised since 2023, with only $4 billion remaining on its balance sheet as of March 31. While Musk denied the report, xAI’s financial demands are apparent. The company is currently attempting to raise $4.3 billion via an equity investment after securing a $5 billion debt sale last week.

Any historian could have told Musk that there’s no money in it. You don’t write history to be profitable.

And, any information warfare historian could have told Musk when you cut your special holes into a dissemination platform the public discourse pegs never fit. This is propaganda 101 stuff.

Nazi Germany has many examples of why and how this failed, as I’ve written here before, unintentionally predicting how horrible Musk would be at rewriting history. To be fair, he’s bad at everything other than taking people’s money for nothing.

That is to say Musk isn’t someone who cares about reality, or real history. He was believed only so far as science fiction had opened the door for him to weaponize STEM against itself. But that skill at defrauding the public about science doesn’t translate well to the humanities. Science fiction is about the possibilty of science, whereas fiction is not at all about history, it’s the diametric opposite. The more fiction the less history. He faces a completely different and much more sophisticated trigger set among general populations.

Maybe his matrix of foreign-backed fraud balloon schemes will continue floating another minute on the hot air from burning piles of cash…but what does a delayed crash mean? If history is any guide, they will expand harm a year or two from now. Remember the hundreds of Tesla killing people after investors piled into the fraud of FSD in 2016, such that by 2021 it was an unmistakable threat to the public?

I mean, to this historian at least, this looks like the kind of lesson that was handed to German white supremacists in 1948 (Elon Musk’s grandparents’ decision to move operations to South Africa) and the lesson handed South African white supremacists in 1988 (Elon Musk’s parents’ decision to move operations to Canada – and then illegally the US).

So apparently we are right on time for the grandson and son of white supremacists to learn his 2028 lesson – 40 years on the dot. Third time is the charm? Can we end this white supremacist transmission cycle?

An odd footnote in history is how Canadian chapters of the KKK were recognized by their “Red Dragon” theme or even “Grand Ragon”, as explained at the University of Washington.

The Royal Riders were a Ku Klux Klan auxiliary for people who were “Anglo-Saxon” and English-speaking but not technically native-born American citizens.

While many Royal Riders chapters were in the United States, the KKK also organized chapters in Canada. Some of the earliest documented Klan organizing in Canada occurred in British Columbia in November, 1921, at roughly the same time that organizers first began working in Washington state.

The Royal Riders of the Red Robe was only nominally a separate organization from the Klan. It was listed in the Klan’s Pacific Northwest Domain Directory, shared an office with Seattle Klan Local 4, and had its meetings with similar rituals in the same places as the Seattle Klan. Beginning in 1923, Klan events and propaganda came to regularly feature Royal Rider initiations and news.

The Grand Ragon (as opposed to the Klan’s Grand Dragon) of the Pacific Northwest Realm of the Royal Riders of the Red Robe was J. Arthur Herdon, and the King County Ragon was Walter L. Fowler. Naturalized but not native-born citizens in Seattle’s Royal Riders were organized into another Klan Auxiliary, the American Krusaders, on October 18, 1923.

Tesla is the only American car maker to deny people their right to organize, even for reasons of health and safety.

Swedish pension fund AP7 said on Friday it has blocklisted and sold all its shares in U.S. electric vehicle maker Tesla, citing violations of union rights in the United States. […] An AP7 spokesperson said the fund’s stake in Tesla was, when it was sold in late May, worth around 13 billion crowns ($1.36 billion).

AP7 admits they knew about Tesla labor violations for a very long time, but were slow to act on them, as they explain with a “we had dialogue” narrative.

Despite several years of dialogue with Tesla, including shareholder proposals in collaboration with other investors, the company has not taken sufficient measures to address the issues.

Sweden’s financial management team is basically saying they pulled a 1938 Munich Agreement, and should we believe that they expected it would work this time?

Let’s go back for a minute to 2017 headlines when Sweden would have been reading that the Tesla CEO only agrees to address serious complaints about worker safety if his workers did not organize their complaints.

In a June 2017 meeting with Tesla employees, CEO Elon Musk solicited their complaints about safety issues and promised to address their concerns, so long as they refrained from trying to organize a union, the National Labor Relations Board alleges.

That’s like Britain hearing in 1938 that Hitler will only address complaints about invading his neighbors if those neighbors refrain from organizing to defend against blatant law violations.

Tesla blatantly violated [labor] laws—and on Friday, [September 2019] Amita Baman Tracy, an administrative law judge in California, agreed.

You may be thinking what does 1938 have to do with Swedish leaders in 2019 shrugging at Tesla crimes. In fact, the comparison is more relevant than you might imagine. Hitler’s violence against organized opposition in 1938 cited Henry Ford’s racist suppression of American rights as direct inspiration.

That Ford/Hitler alignment meant that American labor was under direct and coordinated attack by militant fascism. Take Ford’s big 1937 Battle of the Overpass, for example.

The “Battle of the Overpass” is one of the most famous events in the history of the American labor movement. The national attention garnered by the photographs and the subsequent hearings provided damning evidence of the methods utilized by Ford and other companies to fight unionism.

I’m sure if you are an American you’ve never heard of this “most famous event” in American history. Amiright? Not a single American gets taught this history, because it inconveniently lays bare Henry Ford and Hitler conspiring in a way that America should have been at war against both.

If you are from Sweden, the chances you know anything about American fascist history… forgettaboutit.

[Ford] security men began to tear notebooks from reporters’ hands. Others went after the photographers, confiscating film and smashing cameras to the ground. They chased one fleeing photographer for five miles, until he ducked into a police station for safety. […] Ford workers testified that if their superiors suspected them of showing interest in the UAW, Ford Service Department men would pull them from the assembly lines and escort them to the gate as they were fired on the spot, often without explanation.

And yet, the 1937 Ford/Hitler news should sound very familiar to anyone reading the 2017 Tesla news of journalists threatened and workers fired for showing interest in a union.

Tesla’s “total recordable incidence rate” was 8.8 percent (8.8 injuries per 100 workers) in 2015, the last full-year that data is available for. That’s 31 percent more than the 6.7 percent total recordable incidence rate for the automobile industry as a whole…

Tesla very clearly and intentionally returned to 1930s Ford/Hitler management theory with predictable results, killing workers when they aren’t being injured and abused.

By 2019 headlines had made this all abundantly clear as a court ruled without question that Tesla broke labor laws, like Ford in 1937, not to mention the hate crimes while building the “Swasticar“.

It sure took a while for the Swedes to dialogue their way to a divestment from American fascism. It almost seems like they flipped, suddenly remembering which side won both WWI and WWII. Should we be surprised Sweden went for Tesla in the first place, when Swedes seemed to be flirting with their flavor of Nazism during the exact time Tesla increasingly was exposed for Nazism?

The recent electoral success of a party with Nazi origins must be understood as part of the long history of white Swedes’ desire for racial homogeneity.

So, the real question here, given Tesla has been a toxic Nazi dumpster fire since Elon Musk abruptly seized control from its founders, is what Swedes should do now after admitting they never should have touched such an inhumane company to start with.

…as reported by Reuters, Sweden takes the prize for most dramatic plunge: sales dropped 80.7 percent…

Not buying cars, not buying stock, neither seems to go far enough to stop harms, given DOGE now is allegedly building backdoors into NLRB. Perhaps their AP7 should donate all profits made from holding Swasticar stock to the anti-racist and anti-fascist organizations, to serve public safety interests like protecting against armies of killer robots attacking workers?
