It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.

Yes. This is what victory feels like. Yeah. This was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization. Okay? There are elections that come and go. Some elections are important, some are not. But this one really mattered. I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you. My heart goes out to you. **It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.** Thanks to you. We're going to have safe cities, finally. Safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending, basic stuff. We're going to take Doge to Mars. Can you imagine how awesome it will be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time? Bam. Bam. Yeah. How inspiring would that be?

Thanks. For reference, the fourteen words are "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children".
I feel like the Elon quote could be motivated by generic "America first"/MAGA jingoism alone, but that mindset is pretty fourteen-words-y itself, so this is "distinction without difference" territory.

I don't know, that feels like a bit of a stretch. It's possible he was alluding to it, but I don't think it's close enough to say for sure.

could he possibly be referring to the thing he says all the time which is that the human race needs to colonize mars to ensure our survival
and maybe it’s not an abstract paraphrased secret dog whistle using secret code words to a group of destestable people he regularly denounces
you guys need to go touch grass lol
please i beg you think for yourselves
downvote me all you want but as you do it please ask yourself if i might be right
