Elon Musk made a provocative tweet, perhaps more so than usual, commenting on the secret melting down of the bronze statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, that, “They absolutely want your extinction.” The Left responded by wanting details about “They,” which Musk did not provide, but we in fact know too well. Gregory Hood in commentary gives a glimpse of some of the “They”: “State media NPR called it a “different journey” for the statue. The Smithsonian seemed delighted, calling the statue “divisive.” Melting it is presumably unifying.
We are told that the foundry owner presiding over the vandalism was a black man proud to “destroy hate.” The New York Times noted that as the general’s face was cut off and fell to the floor, an observer said, “It feels like a public execution.”
The Washington Post gloated, conspiring to show photos and videos of the destruction but hiding the identity of those who did it [Charlottesville’s Lee statue meets its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace, by Teo Armus and Hadley Green, October 26, 2026]. Journalists can keep a secret if they agree with the political objective.’ And he goes on to name some of the usual wrecking crew: “The “public execution” was presided over by Andrea Douglas, executive director of the African American Heritage Center. …
The destruction is part of “Swords into Ploughshares,” an “inclusive” art organization. The group is supported by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, and Leftist groups including the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America supported the Lee project.
Lee Park, where the statue stood and now renamed Market Street Park, was a homeless encampment for most of the last month, because the mayor of Charlottesville decided it would be uncaring to enforce a curfew against the “unhoused.” On October 21, it uncaringly reimposed the curfew. The city was far less queasy about allowing violence against protesters who had a permit for the Unite the Right rally in 2017.
We can only imagine what “inclusive” art is coming next, but we can’t expect much.”
So, the answer is just what one would give to the question of the “They” behind the Voice referendum, the same globalist elites and local members lower in the food chain, whose day job is infinite woke. The goal is the Great Replacement of whites, and the destruction of the West, no less.
“Elon Musk was called out for “reckless instigation” after a purported relative of Robert E. Lee posted about the Confederate general’s bronze statue in Charlottesville, VA, being melted down in “secret.”
The original post referenced a Washington Post article titled, “Charlottesville’s Lee statue meets its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace,” that included video of the meltdown.
“Literally my ancestor,” @GigaThaad posted. “We carry the Lee name as a first/middle in my family. While I didn’t need a directly insulting gesture to tell me that my kind is hated and many seek our extinction (the implicit cues were strong enough) I appreciate this image making it absolutely clear.”
The post prompted Musk to tweet, “They absolutely want your extinction.”
Sherrilyn Ifill, former official with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, admonished Musk, tweeting, “What a thing to say. Reckless instigation which, given many of his followers can be so dangerous.”
Others questioned Musk’s reference to “they,” after he failed to clarify.”
