What The Latest Attacks On Musk Are Really All About –

  Issues & Insights  

When students and faculty celebrated Hamas’ genocidal butchery against Israel, the left said it was all about free speech and understanding the plight of the “Palestinian” people. When a far-left Michigan congresswoman spewed the genocidal slogan “from the river to the sea,” she was given a pass.

 "Just as Democrats were trying to downplay the rampant antisemitism in their ranks, what happens? Elon Musk, who has lately become something of a darling on the right, suddenly becomes the poster boy for antisemitism. This is how the left works.

"This latest twist started when Media Matters — the George Soros-backed media “watchdog” — released a report claiming that ads for major corporations were appearing next to antisemitic and white supremacist content.

"This is a two-fer for the left. It both attacks Musk — whom the left now hates because he stopped Twitter’s side hustle as the federal government censor — and it takes the spotlight off the left’s virulent antisemitism on display after the Hamas attacks.

"As soon as Musk took over Twitter and promised to live up to the company’s “free speech wing of the free speech party” mantra, the left went into fits of hysterics.

"Media Matters puts it, “Musk has opened the floodgates to hateful content.” Really? Because Twitter was pure as the driven snow before Musk?

"We seem to recall that “blue check” leftists had free reign to say whatever they wanted about conservatives on Twitter, up to and including calls for their assassination. After Donald Trump took office, to cite just one example, “assassinate Trump” was showing up all over Twitter. When Twitter banned Trump before Musk bought the company, it let Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continue to incite hate and violence on its platform. Etc., etc." . . .

The Left's War on Elon Musk Explained – HotAir   "Anyone who follows the comings and goings of the social media world and the way it intersects with American politics has probably noticed the evolution of attitudes toward Elon Musk, particularly on the left. He used to be vaunted by people across the political spectrum. The boy genius billionaire with a generous heart was going to put everyone in electric cars and save humanity by taking us to other planets. But now American liberals have soured on Musk considerably. He regularly faces criticism of a political nature, despite having no specific ties to political parties or candidates." . . .

As we are all too aware, the Democrats and their insidious minions in the media have been working hard to get a head start on pre-gaming next year’s presidential election. They’d prefer that there be no election at all, which is rich given that they’re the ones who say we’re destroying democracy.
