As Twitchy readers know, MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan all but called Elon Musk and Republicans ‘Nazis’ while Molly Jong-Fast claimed the reason he opposes censorship is that he’s an old, rich, white man. Oh, and she insinuated that he’s stupid as well and being controlled by other people.
The media are starting to treat Elon like they treated Trump … it’s what they do when they’re confronted with a threat.
NBC’s @mehdirhasan on @elonmusk: "If [the “neo-Nazi faction" of the GOP expands in Nov.], 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” pic.twitter.com/bIpiIlFlwR

Yeah, these people are jerks.
But you guys knew that.
Elon fired back, BIGLY.
NBC basically saying Republicans are Nazis …

DAMN.
Did we say damn?
Wait, we just did.
DAMN DAMN.
He ain’t playin’.
It says it all that we heard more about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock than we heard about Ghislaine Maxwell's trial.
It is also "interesting" that the account tracking the Ghislaine Maxwell's trial got banned when it gained traction.

Where is their “client” list? Shouldn’t at least one of them go down!?

If they’re anything like CNN, they’ll shut themselves down here soon enough.
Maybe the new “Ministry of Truth” can weigh in 😹

We do too.
Heh.
Media: Oh, NO! Elon Musk bought Twitter and may be red pilled! Democracy is doomed!
Also Media: Let’s call him a dumb, right-wing brat! That’ll make him agree with us!

Yeah, they’re just not that bright.

Again, they hate Elon because they can’t control him.
We’ve said it before but we’ve gotta say it again … THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN.

He took a dig at Molly Jong-Fast as well, with Glenn Greenwald’s assistance:
Rich white woman @MollyJongFast – who won the birth lottery by being born to rich famous white parents who raised her in Manhattan, sent her to private schools, and thus herself bought an Upper East Side co-op for $5 million in 2007 at the age of 29 – rants about "rich white men" https://t.co/gydaiG4T2o

Here's your oppressed, marginalized journalist who really understands struggling and suffering at the hands of "rich white men":✊✊✊https://t.co/Kn1BFXCMTP pic.twitter.com/N9AyMoAEbT

And Elon with the final takedown.
