MUSK, MENDACITY, AND THE MEDIA

OpinionMUSK, MENDACITY, AND THE MEDIA

As the radical Marxists, postmodernists, globalists, and anarchists sift through the rubble of the Democrat party, a scapegoat befitting their derangement syndrome rivaling Donald Trump emerges: Elon Musk, once a Dem himself, with his galling complicity and influence. The donkeys, after all, were not only accustomed to drinking at the trough of legacy media, but social media proliferating among the nation’s wealthiest elites in Silicon Valley. Much like the Hollyweirdos relying on celebrity to entertain and illuminate the unwashed masses, these trolls behind the curtain assumed their ability to censor content and conservative leanings was self-righteously justified in the name of muzzling Trump and advancing their globalist vision. Plato said, “Those who tell the stories also rule society,” a testimonial to leftwing tall tales augmented by a blatant attempt to monopolize information. Mirroring Orwell’s 1984 and similar communist government news operatives, their media allies cringed at the prospect of calling out Biden for his senility and dubious business dealings with Ukraine, Hunter’s laptop, the obvious political weaponization of federal agencies, the Russia collusion hoax and assorted Trump witch hunts, preposterous gender distortion and manipulation that condones biological males participating in female sports, the failed border policies, and the demonization of Israelis and American Jews rejecting militant Islam. Indeed, the Democrats have become the party of lying, delusional elites championed by common criminals, misfits, and deadbeats careening the United States towards a third-world, banana republic existence. Enter Elon, the world’s wealthiest human being, who balked at their quest for power and control over the country drowning in identity politics in our most prestigious universities and other institutions, bloated government bureaucracy, and crumbling, crime-infested cities victimized by progressives. While the bane of patriotic Americans, George Soros, corrupted limp-wristed, nefarious prosecutors and bought AM radio stations to silence conservative programming, Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion, a drop in the bucket for him, and nearly three times what the nation’s ultimate antagonist is purportedly worth. Musk, it seemed, obliterated Soros’s cap gun with a bazooka. Elon pledged to kill the woke virus—his words—partially because one of his children was encumbered by transgenderism. Traditional media organs watched and hollered in horror as Musk not only jumped ship but campaigned with Trump. There were developments tacitly linked to Musk as the owners of the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post decided not to endorse either presidential candidate, an obvious repudiation of the grossly incompetent and dangerous Kamala Harris whose outrages included applauding the 2020 Antifa-BLM riots and supporting sex change surgeries for prison inmates at public expense. Musk sounded the alarm by saying a lost election would topple the United States, as we have known and loved it. The outcome instigated a sobering response from MSNBC leftist lunatic Joe Scarborough and his wayward wife when they met with Trump in Florida, as did historically illiberal social media tycoon Mark Zuckerberg. Musk, meanwhile, has fueled the momentum by joining Trump’s cabinet for the purpose of cleaning up government waste, a Herculean but noble task.
