Elon Musk must be the most powerful man in the country because one simple little tweet from him sends the lapdog media into the dustbin of politics and media. And the optics couldn’t be more fascinating to watch unfold.
The radical left- never considering that their crazy public policies and strange approach to life could help make people crazy- always blames law and order and responsible citizenry for random acts of violence and crimes; they are just like a broken record. The left hates the American Republic so much that they are often heard decrying defenders of the Constitution as lunatics- for defending their own liberty. It is simply the most curious behavior ever.
Those same Radical leftists in the propaganda media are hysterical over media announcements this week that Twitter shares jumped 5.5% to $39.22 in after-market trading, building on a 3.9% rise during regular trading. Those leftists are targeting Twitter owner – Elon Musk- over it.
Democrats are hysterical over their sinking popularity and approval rates ahead of the 2022 midterm elections in November, and they have no one to blame- but themselves- for their epic public humiliation.
But Musk will be a great stand-in to take their abuse because he is being successful- and he is criticizing the Democrats while rising to the top.
After pushing the idea that Democrat Joe Biden was the most popular president in the history of the United States- and then watching him fall flat on his face and sink like a rock to the bottom of polling for approval ratings- the left has lost what small amount of street cred they had- in the eyes of the American people.
So they are mad at Musk.
It is almost as if the leftist lapdog media don’t know that their own approval ratings are lower than the sinking level. The American people have not trusted them as media sources for a very long time- and now there is proof positive that their fake news is no longer selling- because the American people have had it with the Democrats and their propaganda.
And Musk is exposing them even more.
But that doesn’t stop the left from projecting their madness onto Republicans and Populists too. And the left has added Musk into their gaslighting campaigns.
Check this out:
MSNBC’s Medhi Hasan argued on-air that Republicans are “pro-neo-Nazi” and criticized Elon Musk for being “not-so-bright” by purchasing Twitter to allow for free speech.
“We are living through an unspeakably dangerous moment,” Hasan said. “The pro-QAnon, pro-neo-Nazi faction of the Republican party is poised to expand dramatically come the midterms, news page index reported.
“We’re just two years away from Donald Trump very possible reseizing executive power. If that happens, we may look back on this .. as a pivotal moment, when a petulant & not-so-bright billionaire casually bought one of the most influential messaging machines & just handed it to the far-right,” Hasan said.
According to his bio: Hasan is a British-American political journalist, broadcaster, and author of Indian descent. Hasan has been the host of The Mehdi Hasan Show on Peacock since October 2020 and on MSNBC since February 2021. What he knows about the American patriot movement is questionable- but MSNBC allows him to disparage Americans. That should be notable.
Musk found something else that was interesting about Hasan’s performance and he slammed back – on Twitter:
Enter Musk, who has written about how the looney Democrats have sent Americans into the arms of Republicans with their crazed and illogical behavior- just like being demonstrated on MSNBC.
In one simple tweet-Musk fired back: “NBC basically saying Republicans are Nazis.”
“Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office. Lovely people,” Musk added.

Musk has been in a battle over the number of fake accounts on Twitter, and Fox news updated about the Musk buyout of the social media giant:
The revision would cut $6.25 billion from the lending package Musk had previously lined up for the Twitter buyout, according to a regulatory statement.
That means Musk will need to raise that sum in stock commitments instead of debt. That brings the equity portion of the deal to $33.5 billion, up from the $27.25 billion disclosed three weeks ago.
The move raised investor hopes that Musk still intends to make the deal amid his concerns about the number of fake accounts on Twitter.
The announcement on Wednesday came on the same day that Twitter held its annual shareholder meeting.
Shareholders didn’t address the Musk deal directly — that vote will be scheduled for an as-yet undetermined future date, should the deal proceed.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal declined to offer an update on the status of Musk’s bid, citing “regulatory and other reasons.”

Soon Musk will have a larger platform than all of the lapdog media together.
