If Dems can target billionaire Elon Musk to control speech, who WON’T they target?
The Internet heated up recently when X CEO Elon Musk erupted on stage over Disney and other companies pulling advertising over alleged antisemitism on his platform.
If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f yourself, Elon Musk said, stunning both the interviewer and audience.
In case anyone missed his profane advice, Musk repeated it with a wave of his hand toward Disney s Bob Iger, Hey, Bob, if you re in the audience.
Having spoken to both Musk and his staff, after going to the company to dig through Twitter Files, I was not very shocked by his outburst.
And his anger is entirely understandable.
Democratic operatives have been targeting Musk since he took over the company and ceased censoring Americans.
Their tactic is to gin up flimsy reports that allege hate, and then scream at advertisers for supporting his company.
Think Disney s Bob Iger is incapable of political guilt?
Take a look at his partisan bona fides.
Even before Joe Biden had been sworn in as president, Iger began angling for a position in his administration possibly as ambassador to China.
And after claiming he didn t want to get involved in culture wars, Iger hired a loyal Biden aide to run Disney s crisis communications.
He remains a critical donor for Biden s reelection.
In recent months Musk has sued two Democratic Party activist groups the Center for Countering Digital Hate and Media Matters for America for falsely accusing X of promoting hate and driving away advertisers like Disney.
Both groups claim to be nonpartisan but actually work to attack critics of Democratic Party policies.
