    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The incident, critics say, highlights once again how Musk has not only welcomed extremists onto his platform but has repeatedly boosted their conspiracies, engaged with their accounts, and seems to have protected them from scrutiny.

    A lengthy X thread posted by the antifascist research group Anonymous Comrades Collective last week claimed that Stonetoss is a man named Hans Kristian Graebener from Spring, Texas.

    Stonetoss cartoons, which feature simple and colorful imagery coupled with racist, homophobic, and antisemitic language, have become hugely popular among right-wing communities since they were first published at least seven years ago.

    On Thursday, the Stonetoss account appealed to X users who have “a direct line” to Musk, X’s owner, to help to get the thread deleted.

    “If Elon’s idea of a ‘free speech’ website is one where people can be intimidated into silence, the outcome will be a site where the Stasi will drive out all dissent,” Stonetoss wrote.

    “There is a whole ecosystem of artists out there who cannot (or have stopped) making art because of people on twitter organized to punish them IRL for doing so.” The cartoonist also added that sales of his plush toy were “going gangbusters” since his alleged identity was revealed.

    Weird that the Libs of Tiktok account is able to post names and locations pretty freely… I wonder what the difference is…? 🤔

    It seems the “genius” #SpaceKaren is trying to protect a neo-Nazi. This is absolutely disgusting.

    But the identity of the racist cartoon author, Stonetoss, has been revealed: Hans Kristian Graebner

    It’s not the worst part of far right comedy but these motherfuckers have like 4 jokes and they’ve been the same for decades. There’s more variety in Deez Nutz jokes alone than in that entire fucking world.
