Perhaps not giving voices to Nazis might solve that problem.

Judge ruled his pay – six times larger than the combined pay of the 200 highest-paid executives in 2021 – was set inappropriately

Difficult to tell from the report but it seems to compare a ridiculous set of stock options, though ones that when they were granted would not have been worth a set amount, with the 'basic' pay of the 200 highest paid executives. This may be making the number for those executives lower than a comparable figure. That is in no way to justify the Musk figure but to highlight that the figures for others may be higher.

It's not very good reporting from the Guardian but perhaps they are astounded, justifiably,  by the 56bn figure.

Elon Musk just let open neo-nazi Nick Fuentes (quite how he gets over his Hispanic name, I don't know) back on Twitter. I don't buy all this free speech bollocks. The only conclusion I can come to is that Musk actually has some sympathy for these views, because his track record is giving voices to conspiracy theorists and nazis. He's turned Twitter into 4chan.

So the implication is he thinks the IRA should bomb immigrants?

It would be easy to draw that conclusion, certainly.

He's such an edgy wee prick.

Not only that, the implication is that he thought that that is what they did back in the day, only the "immigrants" were the English.
