After having set their sights on Tucker Carlson, the New York Times wasted no time attempting another hatchet job, this time on Elon Musk:
The propaganda being used to attack @elonmusk because he’s buying @twitter truly is breathtaking. Look at this @nytimes headline. It’s truly Orwellian. pic.twitter.com/k0WWPKTCSl

There is no depth to which the “journalists” at the New York Times are unwilling to sink:
Elon Musk grew up in elite white communities in South Africa, detached from apartheid’s atrocities and surrounded by anti-Black propaganda.
He sees his takeover of Twitter as a free speech win but in his youth did not suffer the effects of misinformation. https://t.co/bciCJDWGGP

It’s incredibly clear what they’re “reporting”:
They're calling him racist. This isn't like some complicated encryption. It's right in the tweet. https://t.co/wd1O3SHrzK

Another pathetic hit piece from the New York Slimes, and it begins this way:
Elon Musk’s impending takeover of Twitter has many people probing his public statements and his past for clues about how he will shape one of the world’s most influential public platforms.
But Mr. Musk, best known for owning the companies Tesla and SpaceX, has not talked much in public about a significant swath of his past: How growing up as a white person under the racist apartheid system in South Africa may have shaped him.
“It’s telling — white kids were insulated from the harsh reality of it,” said Terence Beney, who is white and graduated with Mr. Musk from Pretoria Boys High School in 1988.
What they’d like readers to assume from this is not at all subtle.

NYT turned what is an inherently interesting story — Elon Musk's upbringing in South Africa — into an agenda-driven hit piece. https://t.co/pTbayyLRpc

The NY Times couldn’t be more predictable.
It really is like there is some paint by numbers situation over there for these profiles: Tucker, Elon, etc. All the same. https://t.co/YNcJi1cxtE

They do seem to take the same cookie-cutter approach when dealing with anybody who’s unhelpful to the preferred narratives.
They are actually publishing hit pieces about his childhood because they are so terrified of the idea of less censorship on this one platform. https://t.co/tx7lfAWHnB

The primary allegation made by this hit piece is that Elon Musk failed to grow up as a black teenager. https://t.co/s3SGGHC3WR

So much “journalism.”
By the same ridiculous "logic", the New York Times warns us not to trust refugees who have seen too much violence in their home countries or immigrants from countries where there are caste systems.
Liberals are only pro-immigrant as long as those immigrants vote Democrat. pic.twitter.com/dpQHqjJcr9

This is your brain on CRT: Blaming a child for his skin color and for the discriminatory policies historically enacted by adults in his home country. NYTimes has gone full Maoist.

How low can they go?
This piece is actual bigotry.

The New York Times: "Elon Musk didn't end apartheid in South Africa as a child, therefore he is evil now."

The Times deserved every bit of the ratio this hit piece received.
