Elon Musk is among the conservatives boosting \u201cCitizen Vigilante,\u201d a film that tells the story of a white killer who takes the law into his own hands to target migrants, who are portrayed as criminals, and members of law enforcement who get in his way.<\/p>\n

The film, which features disgraced former Hollywood star Armie Hammer and was produced by German filmmaker Uwe Boll, marks the latest in a disturbing trend: the MAGA movement embracing violent vigilantes, both in the real world and in fantasyland. I\u2019ve written about previous examples, and I\u2019ve made a video of myself discussing the topic for MS NOW.<\/p>\n

One of the most damning critiques of the film comes from someone who previously co-wrote a book defending Boll. In fact, the former Boll defender \u2014 writer Nathan Rabin \u2014 rebuked the film in his review, calling it an \u201codious fascist revenge fantasy\u201d and the \u201cmost racist film since D.W. Griffith\u2019s controversial 1915 melodrama\u00a0The Birth of a Nation<\/em>,\u201d the notorious film that lionized lynchings of Black people by the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n

That comparison seems apt. \u201cThe Birth of a Nation\u201d was screened at the White House by Woodrow Wilson\u2019s racist regime. Musk has been boosting \u201cCitizen Vigilante\u201d incessantly via X \u2014 a social media platform he has routinely used to promote racist propaganda to the masses \u2014 and even posted the film for free.<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s promotion of \u201cCitizen Vigilante\u201d follows his fueling of anti-immigrant riots in Northern Ireland.\u00a0For a sense of how deranged his posts about the film have become, here\u2019s just one \u2014 which seems like a clear endorsement of shooting people.<\/p>\n

Notable here is that Musk is facing a torrent of backlash and negative press as he tries to groom the masses into becoming anti-immigrant zealots. He has been throwing public tantrums over people \u2014 such as Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and journalist Nicholas Kristof \u2014 spotlighting the fact that his gutting of the U.S. Agency for International Development has caused a raft of deaths worldwide and is projected to cause millions more. Musk has been similarly outraged by people spotlighting the fact that his companies have benefited from massive federal contracts en route to him becoming a trillionaire.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s richest man appears to have homed in on a not-so-novel strategy when questions arise about his wealth and how he wields it: doubling down on xenophobic propaganda and hoping his followers fall for the distraction.<\/p>\n
