Can someone point me to the transphobia / racist information? Or whatever else is being alluded to constantly here. When or where was it posted?

just as I post a comment to the mod thread referencing to such info to ask about it, the thread is locked.

Edit: so far the only thing is 1 retweet of a very obnoxious article praising Richard Dawkins. Surely there is more?

I think I read it the same way as you the first time around. I was distracted by this, which sounds to be in contradiction to Musk and arguing a more reasonable, if lib, position:

what you call the "woke mind virus" cares about one thing: equality

On third glance I see that the next line is the point of the thing:

The levelers want to destroy everything because in the rubble we'll all be equal.

It is the opposite sentiment of "a rising tide lifts all boats". That an ambition towards equality will inevitably sink all to a lowest common denominator.

I also got distracted by mention of "the levelers" which is being used derisively here, not in a positive sense. And because the language is somewhat reminiscent of some left slogans such as "a new world in the shell of the old" I mis understood it.

So I am compelled to agree with @Sulvor that it's shitty.
