Elon Musk\u2019s X \u2014 formerly known as Twitter and newly acquired by SpaceX<\/a> \u2014 says it will give a million bucks to a proudly self-proclaimed Nazi.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the social media site and Grok-run asylum announced the winners of its \u201c$1M Article Contest,\u201d with the grand prize going to a user named Beaver with the handle @beaverd. As many quickly noticed<\/a>, that user happens to be an out-and-out white supremacist with over 100,000 followers, who Musk has interacted with in the past.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just take our word for it. In one tweet, Beaver \u2014 who describes himself as \u201cGod\u2019s most r*tarded soldier\u201d \u2014 expressed his regret that Trump wasn\u2019t even more right wing, writing that he wished<\/a> the US president \u201cwas literally Hitler.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of his favorite groups to rail against are Somalis \u2014 the right\u2019s bugbear du jour \u2014 accusing them of having lower IQ than wild animals. He also runs a website that supposedly tracks government spending and fraud called \u201cSomaliScan,\u201d which has its own meme coin<\/a> with the ticker $SS.<\/p>\n

And like any good right-wing edgelord, Beaver also has no qualms about how his views \u2014 like thinking<\/a> civil rights were a mistake \u2014 are perceived.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dont care what you call loving America,\u201d Beaver fumed<\/a> just a week before winning the prize. \u201cIf thats what a nazi does, then I am a nazi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Never mind that these are the kinds of views that now thrive on X \u2014 it\u2019s alarming to see them directly rewarded by the platform to the tune of a million dollars. It also must make for a surreal moment for SpaceX fans who simply wanted to appreciate cool rockets without becoming embroiled in Musk\u2019s increasingly deranged political forays, something that was already difficult to separate but is now even more inextricable<\/a> following SpaceX\u2019s questionable acquisition of xAI, which operates X.<\/p>\n

Still, it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise. Musk regularly shares his own racist thoughts and conspiracy theories and boosts the posts of right wing accounts that he agrees with. Beaver is one account that\u2019s received the owner\u2019s blessing: last month, Musk showed his appreciation of data Beaver shared from his SomaliScan website, replying<\/a> with his trademark, \u201cWow.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contest criteria<\/a>, by the way, is pretty dubious. The winner is based primarily on \u201cVerified Home Timeline impressions,\u201d according to X, meaning it\u2019s essentially rewarding people for engagement farming. And right wing content sells very well indeed on Musk\u2019s X. If the actual quality of the work were the primary factor, we might have a different winner: Beaver\u2019s article starts with the astonishing claim that \u201cyou were never meant to hear the name \u2018Deloitte’\u201d \u2014 despite the Deloitte in question being one of the largest and most well-known accounting firms in the world.<\/p>\n

In a move typical for far-right influencers, Beaver immediately capitalized on his winnings by trying to coax his followers<\/a> into signing up for a crypto casino. \u201cI\u2019m giving $25k of my million back to players who play under my [referral link],\u201d he promised.<\/p>\n
