Democrats give Musk their Alito-Thomas-Kavanaugh treatment

 The left hates Elon Musk because he's a tycoon they can't bully (nypost.com)  "Why does the left hate Elon Musk?

"It’s simple, really: Because he can’t be controlled, and because he doesn’t tolerate BS.". . .

. . ."Musk is thus a twin threat. As the sometime richest man in the world, he has a lot of power, and it’s not under anyone else’s control. And he’s a nerd, with a nerd’s low tolerance for bull. Where more socially “polished” people would go out of their way to show fealty to leftist tropes popular among the Gentry Class regardless of their absurdity, Musk is happy to point out that the emperor has no clothes.". . .

Just as Elon Musk Becomes a Hot Story a Report Surfaces of an Old Sexual Harassment Claim (legalinsurrection.com)  . . ."Um, Elon Musk has been one of the richest human beings on earth for a long time. Why now? How can she use his money as an excuse to come out now?

"Musk asked Business Insider “for more time to respond“:

After Insider contacted Musk for comment, he emailed to ask for more time to respond and said there is “a lot more to this story.”

“If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light,” he wrote, calling the story a “politically motivated hit piece.”


AP Ridiculed for ‘Bizarre’ Attack on Elon Musk’s Free Speech (breitbart.com)  . . ."The essay accuses the 50-year-old SpaceX founder of “disdain for public officials who challenge him,” while highlighting his previous confrontations “with health officials who limited staffing at the California factory to prevent the spread of COVID, calling stay-at-home orders ‘fascist.’”

"Musk is also described as one who “seems to relish taunting regulators.”

"In response, many took to Twitter to highlight AP’s misconception of free speech.

“ 'So what you’re saying is the SOB is speaking freely?” wrote Rhode Island Republican Rep. Mike Chippendale.". . .

Elon Has More to Say About the Accusation Against Him, Claims He Has the 'Perfect' Name for It – RedState  . . .“But they have become the party of division & hate,” Musk said. “So I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold…🍿”

"We didn’t have to wait long. As we reported last night, Business Insider dropped a sketchy report about an old sexual assault claim involving a SpaceX flight attendant that allegedly took place back in 2016 and resulted in a $250,000 settlement and non-disclosure agreement.  As Bonchie notes, there wasn’t anything that would make this “current” to run as a news story except his heightened public profile with the Twitter buy and the various efforts to run him down because of it. In the statement he gave to Business Insider, Musk denied the claim.

. . ."“For the record, those wild accusations are utterly untrue,” he said.

“ 'But I have a challenge to this liar who claims their friend saw me ‘exposed’ – describe just one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos, …) that isn’t known by the public,” the CEO added. “She won’t be able to do so, because it never happened.”

"Musk also said that he had the perfect name for the accusation: Elongate.". . .
