Musk vs. MAGA: The Rest Of Us Should Pour Gasoline On This Raging Civil War
Elon Musk has run afoul of Steve Bannon, British racists, & some MAGA leaders due to his endless meddling & contempt for American workers and preference for H1-B visas. We should encourage the fight.

From the piece:

The fight isn’t just limited to Musk and MAGA but has now expanded to include notorious Islamophobe and “New Atheist” Sam Harris who has earned the ire of his former friend for trying to intervene and stop him from posting batshit conspiracy theories.

No need to read any further.

I think that is a mischaracterization of Harris. Both he and Hitchens have spoken at length about this, and they both see (saw, in Hitchens' case) religion in general as a threat to society (rot from within like polluting school boards, not generally violent), and radical Islam (and xianity, though that isn't as extensive) as a proven threat (e.g. World Trade Center, etc). That does not make one an Islamophobe. I don't recall Harris supporting the "Muslim ban" of 2017, for example. In fact, I'm pretty sure he spoke out against it.
