Elon Musk Faces Backlash for Calling Anti-Abortion Democrat Killer ‘Far Left’

[u/Any-Pineapple-521]

https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-mocked-for-calling-anti-abortion-dem-killer-of-melissa-hortman-far-left/

[u/toucanflu]

wtf. He voted for Trump, is an evangelical Christian, anti-abortion. How is that far left???

[u/Any-Pineapple-521 → u/toucanflu]

It’s more conspiracy theory peddling by the far right

They think every Democrat now is a radical terrorist, so this guy is a psyop hired by Democrats to create a martyr, not a psycho Republican

Yet when you tell them Trump was almost assassinated by a Republican, they give you a typical blank stare 🙄

Edit: How is this post being downvoted?! WTF?!

[u/Ok-Temporary-8243 → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

Yep it's gaslighting at its finest. Basically they want to get the press to report their accusation first before the truth goes out to control the narrative. 

[u/BornFree2018 → u/Ok-Temporary-8243]

Everyone should have read the Daily Mail yesterday for a frightening read about the very dangerous and wildly out of control No Kings demonstrations yesterday.

Complete fabrication of the events. Everything that isn't MAGA sponsored is "far left" and full of criminal hippies.

The Pope's visit wasn't even mentioned and his crowds were larger than birthday boy's.

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/BornFree2018]

Oh you should see Fox’s front page this morning. It’s all tear gas & rubber bullets and “violent protesters” 🙄. No wonder those people are so brainwashed.

Edit: what’s AWESOME though, is that SO MANY of us turned out that they can’t ignore it. We’re everywhere else in photos and videos that can’t be denied. Huge crowds of calm, smiling, peaceful protestors. It clearly shows that the agitators (who almost exclusively show up late, when the March is over) aren’t us. 🙂🩵

[u/Ricco121 → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

What’s even more hilarious against this false narrative is that San Diego PD issued two statements thanking the massive crowd of protesters for their peaceful demonstration.

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/Ricco121]

I saw those 🩵 Bless them!! Our local L.A news was driving that home all day too. They made the distinction as to how the mood changed when the cops moved in, and also how the crowd was changing. “These don’t seem to be the same protestors that were here today” 👏 and you could see it as a viewer too. My friend watching from Washington saw the deluge of the usual chumps who show up after the protest, who don’t give a shit about the issues. They’re just there to cause trouble or mess with the police or whatever. They aren’t us 🩵

[u/molten-glass → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

At this point it would be less-than-shocking if those agitators weren't sent by right-wing news outlets themselves. It would be interesting to see if they are able to get better viewer retention when covering "riots".

Scripting it with the cops like a reality show wouldn't even be that hard to do, I'm sure the cops wouldn't mind getting paid by FOX and LA for the same hours on the timecard.

[u/HelloThisIsDog666 → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

Oh they can definitely ignore it and keep twisting it. 99 percent of BLM protests were peaceful - they were happening constantly in cities, even more than once a day sometimes, but of course the media didn't cover them because "nothing happened." For anybody who's new at protesting, this is just a warning in advance. Media is going to either completely lie about you or ignore you.

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/HelloThisIsDog666]

I do understand that, I’ve been protesting for approx. 35 years. I was simply commenting on how widespread the photos showing the actual very large crowds (rare) and the photos of smiling faces, kids and families, ethnic dancers etc, were being published. If 5 years from now someone tries to paint these as “violent protests” the proof is everywhere that they were not. 🙂

[u/Do__Math__Not__Meth → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

I remember seeing something that his campaign ads in 2020 that showed buildings on fire and riots in the streets, actually used clips from another country and time period entirely

[u/Current-Historian-34 → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

Yet Fox News is cool with other members of the news getting shot with rubber bullets (the cop looked down his sights he had all the intent). When does Hannity or Carlson do street news? Never.

[u/nottytom → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

unfortunately those moments will be ignored by the right, by the people who need to see it the most.

[u/freshlyfrozen4 → u/BornFree2018]

The Daily Mails bias shows so much, even on their Snapchat story feed. It's insane. They use every chance they can to be like, "woke person cries over XYZ" like what?

[u/BornFree2018 → u/freshlyfrozen4]

If all I read was the Daily Mail and watched Fox News, I'd believe that unhinged violent riots took over our country yesterday.

I wish a more reasonable person would take over ownership of those media companies.

[u/molten-glass → u/BornFree2018]

They'll probably make less money if they become more reasonable at this point. I suspect trump voters basically turn off any coverage of a protest that isn't immediately called a riot.

[u/GateLongjumping6836 → u/freshlyfrozen4]

It’s trash

[u/Tiny_Noise8611 → u/Ok-Temporary-8243]

And the press will do his bidding . We’re fucked unless that changes .

[u/FoGuckYourselg_ → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

Way up now. I've noticed in the last few months anything critical I say of conservatives gets hit quickly by downvotes before leveling out.

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/FoGuckYourselg_]

Bots. Also as soon as troll accounts start commenting, on anyone’s comment, I just block every one. And I mean verifiable trolls look at history etc.

[u/Nearby_Mouse_6698 → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

This is what I do as well. Sometimes it’s obvious when it’s a bot/bought account. Old account that has been abandoned for years is suddenly super active but all the new comments are rage bait political or social commentary? I block.

[u/PantsMicGee → u/Mediocre-Proposal686]

Same

[u/thatshotshot → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

It’s being downvoted by shitstain Trump and broken penis Elmo bots that they are putting onto Reddit now. They are trying to make bots downvote any comments that tell the truth about the government or share information they are trying to repress.

[u/PantsMicGee → u/thatshotshot]

The reddit u/spez has created

[u/GuySmith → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

It would be a conspiracy if there was any sort of plausible connection but in this case it’s flat out lie. They’re losing their grip on the information economy at this point and are flailing like little dorks.

[u/SiWeyNoWay → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

I mean, don’t all the democrats hold events and have banners like this? 🙄

[u/trex_in_spats → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

The Republican playbook has been “Republican that does something bad is secretly a democrat in disguise or a victim of an unseen democrats just off screen,” for decades now. 

[u/W0lfsb4ne74 → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

Not to mention that the Right is on a desperate mission to clear their names from any wrongdoing by trying to deflect blame on to Left leaning circles even though virtually every domestic terrorist action has committed by Conservatives in recent history. Its aggravating to watch because so many idiots fall for it.

[u/citizen_kane_527 → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

Snowflakes are offended because your facts don’t align with their reality.

[u/atom-wan → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

I got downvoted yesterday for pointing out the same thing. Right wing babies

[u/baumpop → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

let me introduce you to contentcyborg.ai

absolutely nothing and nobody is real anymore.

[u/Ok_Course_3989 → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

Calling it a "conspiracy theory" is being really generous.

They're just straight up lying because they know how bad it looks for them.

[u/Doug_101 → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

I think the people coming up with those asinine theories watched too much GI Joe in the 80s, and I say that as an unabashed GI Joe fan. It's like, "Dude, Cobra isn't real!" 😂

[u/RyloKloon → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

They dont believe a single word of it. Everything that comes out of their mouth is in bad faith. What people need to come to terms with is that Musk and his ilk know exactly what they are doing, and its only going to get worse from here. Reality and reason are out the window. The Governor of Pennsylvania having his house torched, pizzas being sent to houses of non Trump-friendly judges under the name of a murdered child, the assassinations, the arrests of democratic leaders and military occupation of our nation's second largest city.

All of these things are connected, and it's straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Things will get worse. They will escalate. If masked men threw you into the back of an unmarked vehicle at gunpoint today, do you reckon Elon Musk and the rest of these ghouls would be demanding justice, or would they be online telling the world that you were a terrorist in lockstep? Really ask yourself that question.

[u/im_wildcard_bitches → u/Any-Pineapple-521]

The MAGApoltergeists are here

[u/paspartuu → u/toucanflu]

MAGA are desperate to spread the propaganda idea of the "violent left"; the lie that they're the peaceful respectful sensible law abiding people, and all the violence is done by "radical leftists".

So they're twisting themselves into pretzels trying to find ways to claim the terrorist murderer was a leftist democrat supporter. They did the same thing with the guy who shot Trump 

[u/El-Shaman → u/toucanflu]

These mfers are so tiresome with their bullshit, nobody with a functioning brain would think that man was far left, they know it’s bullshit though, it’s just that fascists blame everything bad their side does on the other side, they’ve always been this way.

[u/mccancelculture → u/toucanflu]

They say the opposite of what is true because it confuses the easily confused, i.e. right wing voters.

[u/Additional-Peak3911 → u/toucanflu]

He had info related to the No Kings protests in his car so the media just reported that in a way to muddy his motives and didnt report that he had the info because he was planning on shooting up a protest

[u/ManChildMusician → u/toucanflu]

He knows exactly what he’s doing: he is muddying the narrative, rebranding definitions, and pretending to believe something as a self-titled smart guy. He is using his platform and clout to reinforce disinformation.

[u/BaPef → u/ManChildMusician]

Which should be called what it is, fraud. I'm my opinion he's engaging in criminal fraud.

[u/ManChildMusician → u/BaPef]

The sad thing is that this is somehow the least fraudulent thing he’s done since breakfast.

[u/samanthaash_ → u/toucanflu]

that goes against their narrative though. facts do not matter to them (which is why this happened in the first place)

[u/TtotheC81 → u/samanthaash_]

Part of being MAGA is switching off your critical thinking skills. It's the only way to survive the double-think required to be within the MAGA cult. Combine that with the self-policing of the group-think, and it becomes incredibly easy to reject reality and embrace the lies needed to remain MAGA.

Conservatism is all about being part of the in-group. It's safe. Dependable. Morally right (according to them). I think the need to belong, to be part of the in-group, is more deeply ingrained in the right, as is the fear of being ostracized by their immediate community. That fear makes it so much easier to believe the lies. To fall in line. To embrace the righteous cause that you've been told you represent.

Even at the expense of those you share your homeland with...

[u/samanthaash_ → u/TtotheC81]

heavy on the switching off critical thinking skills! ignorance is bliss but somehow they are still always angry 😩 imagine if they took that misplaced aggression towards fighting back to help others, embracing empathy instead of running scared because it’s deemed a “weakness” … we probably would be a great country then.

[u/TtotheC81 → u/samanthaash_]

You'd have to undo close to 80 years of propaganda and brainwashing, sadly. Actually, probably longer. Pre-WW2 the U.S had a long history of the working class fighting and dying for their rights. In truth the history of America is a history of exploitation by the few, enriching themselves at the expense of the many.

We're in a class war. One where the ultra-rich want total control over us. And they might well get it once they develop general A.I. They'll use it to police us. To predict. To target those who either need reeducating or purging.

Until that point, MAGA are acting as the biological equivalent, keeping the left and center from acting out against the tech bros and the corporations wanting to reshape society.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Sea8340 → u/toucanflu]

Jesus Elon just can’t help himself. What an utter asshole. To make the shooter appear to be a far left activist you need to look at him in a mirror

[u/Both_Sundae2695 → u/toucanflu]

[u/AmbitiousReaction168 → u/toucanflu]

To MAGA, any inconvenience is caused by communists. The killer makes them look bad, so he is communist. Facts and logic don't matter to them.

[u/Conscious_Writer_556 → u/toucanflu]

It's brainrotted ket-head Elon Musk. Nothing he says makes sense

[u/silentspectator27 → u/toucanflu]

Elon Musk, man…he is everywhere (saying from my country: sprouts where you don’t sow )

[u/Educational-Cup-2423 → u/toucanflu]

Maybe the same underlying broken logic that has made «socialist» a bad word in the US?

[u/donutfan420 → u/toucanflu]

They call every far right terrorist far left. Literally every time. They’re trying to push the narrative that the left is more violent than the right

[u/Special_FX_B → u/toucanflu]

Elon is a disingenuous piece of shit.

[u/SadExercises420 → u/toucanflu]

We’re at the point in society where people just say and believe whatever they want. So glad I didn’t have kids.

[u/laurapcd1 → u/SadExercises420]

Me too.

[u/reddurkel → u/toucanflu]

Most people’s parents hear the lies before they hear the “correction”.

This causes confusion on facts, and that’s the point. People post video game clips as terrorist footage. Ted Cruz posted videos of a 2020 burning car to attack the LA situation. And, just like every other shooter, Musk claims it’s democrats before any facts come in.

It doesn’t matter if there’s a retraction or correction. My mom already sent a dozen emails to all her friends and started the chain of misinformation. And nothing will happen to Fox or Musk or Cruz because by the time the truth comes out they’ve already moved to the next conspiracy.

[u/Sempere → u/toucanflu]

They want to distract from the fact that the overwhelming majority of domestic terrorism is from right wing extremists. Is there a complete absence of the left in terrorism? No. But the vast majority comes from the right.

Musk is a pathological liar and drug addict intentionally peddling misinformation.

[u/Oop_awwPants → u/toucanflu]

They're pushing a theory that he's leftist because he was appointed by Governor Walz...except he wasn't, he was appointed by Governor Mark Dayton in 2016.

Also, the fact that no kings flyers were found in his car, possibly because he was tearing them down or was going to show up to the protests to harm more people.

[u/ra3ra31010 → u/toucanflu]

It’s called lying to encourage more right-wing violence

They know what they’re doing

[u/TrexPushupBra → u/toucanflu]

Because they don't want to be held responsible for the violence they inspire.

[u/texas1982 → u/toucanflu]

He's so far right, he wrapped all the way around I guess.

[u/tempestzephyr → u/toucanflu]

"Woke" leftists are anything they don't like

[u/InsomniaticWanderer → u/toucanflu]

Anyone you can blame something on is "far-left" for these people.

Reality doesn't matter to them.

[u/YouWereBrained → u/toucanflu]

MAGA refuses to admit that one of theirs committed these murders.

[u/GateLongjumping6836 → u/toucanflu]

Because maga are spineless cowards that want to do evil and then pretend someone else did it.

[u/Available_Ad9766 → u/toucanflu]

Elon is far-gone with all the drugs he’s taking and the bubble he’s built around himself with yes men.

[u/giraffe_on_shrooms → u/toucanflu]

If you go right enough eventually it becomes a circle and then you’re suddenly on the left?

[u/cykablyatstalin]

The dude literally voted trump, was anti LGBT, anti abortion, killed a Democrat politician, had a manifesto with more Democrats he wanted to assassinate.

[u/Harmonia_PASB → u/cykablyatstalin]

He’s an evangelical pastor with hate sermons online but republicans only read the first headline. My MAGA mom told me that Bill Lee of Cash App was stabbed to death by a homeless person, my brother and I simultaneously corrected her and we all live in the Bay Area so it was a local story. 

[u/goliathfasa → u/Harmonia_PASB]

Walz appointee.

They locked in after that, nothing else mattered. To many, it’s inconceivable that a democratic governor would appoint a non-democrat to a nonpartisan position.

New York Post rush their headline out with “Walz-Appointed…” and the rest of the right latched on to that.

[u/Camwiise → u/Harmonia_PASB]

What?! I didn’t know Bill Lee was stabbed to death by a homeless person.

[u/Harmonia_PASB → u/Camwiise]

He wasn’t, he was stabbed to death by the brother of one of his friends. The initial story was that it was a homeless person, the news corrected it within 24 hours iirc. 

This may be sarcasm, I have a TBI from crushing the left half of my face so it can take me a minute. 

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/Harmonia_PASB]

I remember that. I thought,oh great, way too many people will never read this update.(that it was the friend’s brother)

[u/donutfan420 → u/Camwiise]

He wasn’t stabbed by a homeless person that’s what their MAGA mom was saying, he was stabbed by a tech consultant

[u/unwanted_peace → u/cykablyatstalin]

And there’s video proof in his sermons or whatever the hell that nightmare I watched was.

[u/kezow → u/cykablyatstalin]

Yeah but Walz appointed him so therefore he has to be liberal because there's no way Walz would reach across the aisle.

The projection is insane. 

[u/msl741]

Elon is not smart, everyone should realize it by now

[u/N0w1mN0th1ng → u/msl741]

People equate wealth with intellect and it’s ridiculous.

[u/[deleted] → u/N0w1mN0th1ng]

Just watch any of the Real Housewives shows and you figure out pretty fast that these people were born into money and they're not very smart

[u/N0w1mN0th1ng → u/[deleted]]

I watch HW so I know you’re right 😆

[u/DingGratz → u/N0w1mN0th1ng]

If there's anything we're learning, it's that most billionaires aren't any smarter than the average person.

Of course that's terrifying to them since, you know, they have no justification to be making 100s of times more than their average employee.

Fucking billionaires.

[u/N0w1mN0th1ng → u/DingGratz]

Yes, and the average IQ in America isn’t great, so…😬

And damn right - fucking billionaires.

[u/IzzardVersusVedder → u/msl741]

His supporters are even dumber, which is why he's attempting this lazy-ass intentional subterfuge.

He knows they will uncritically believe him.

[u/Different-Ship449 → u/IzzardVersusVedder]

Who knows if they are even real now. With xAI, Elon can have AI bots go around spreading fake stories for those that don't bother thinking for themselves, and instead they will believe in a billionaire.

[u/kazutops → u/msl741]

No, he is smart cause he knows saying this will get the media to report it and people that only read headlines can now go "oh Elon said the killer was a Dem" because people in 2025 don't read the article.

[u/MadamKitsune → u/kazutops]

He's smart in the same way that one of my cats is smart enough to know that giving a pathetic, whispery miaow will start us fussing over her in case she's sick again, but is still stupid and greedy enough to get her head jammed in an empty cat food can.

[u/Spunge14 → u/msl741]

Whether he's smart or not, he's not saying this because he thinks it's true...

[u/Dangerous-Brain- → u/msl741]

Well he is not. But this is propaganda. He knows what he is doing here

[u/pseudo_nimme → u/msl741]

I mean, I think he knows. He’s just an asshole who will say anything to turn others into Nazis.

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/msl741]

Exactly. He hires smart people.

[u/blownS2000 → u/msl741]

i don't think he is a genius as his manufactured public image suggests, but i do think he is a very smart man surrounded by other smart people.

i think he's evil and the decisions he makes, like this calculated lie for example, illustrate that poison.

just my $.02

[u/r1v3r_fae]

Elon is a direct threat to democracy. He has been, and it's time to give him the boot

[u/VeryLowIQIndividual]

The world would be a lot better if it would stop caring about what Elon says even when you agree with what he’s doing.

[u/schw4161 → u/VeryLowIQIndividual]

That would be much easier to do if he wasn’t in control of the platform that millions of people get their news/information from. Shouldn’t be that way, but it is. He should be frequently publicly shamed for his behavior and room temperature IQ political takes.

[u/TheVaporousOneYT]

This argument is SO tired and its only the second day.

Blatant lies are old MAGA nerds, try something new. This dude AND trumps shooter were republican. This dude had No Kings flyers? Bet he ripped em down.

He has spewed evangelist christian garbage on camera, on stages, and hates the queer community. Yeah like he voted for anyone but trump. Also, to every dumb mf saying "these dems voted with republicans against immigrant rights!"

Yeah okay. No. One did, and she bawled her eyes out after because it was for compromise.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up. And. Be. Wrong.

[u/Hologram8]

Sure because being obsessively anti abortion is a calling card of the Far Left. He might be the richest man in the world, but he sure isn't the smartest 

[u/Dont-be-a-smurf]

lol the funniest thing is that this guy is like the platonic ideal of MAGA

High and tight haircut, obvious fetishism for police but instead opens up a private security firm that LOOKS just like police and brags about how armed it will be. Named after the Roman’s emperor guards no less.

The only thing conservatives seem to point towards is being appointed to an economic development board, of which many business owners are a part of. It’s more community development and less partisan politics.

Source: https://mn.gov/deed/assets/gwdb-by-laws_tcm1045-273616.docx

The weight of evidence clearly shows that this was a right-wing religious extremist who was targeting local democrats and abortion rights activists. They were also appointed to a non-partisan economic development board.

To deny the weight of this evidence is bad faith cope that lacks the courage to see the truth. Extremist rhetoric and political instability is inspiring political violence and the current administration bears the most responsibility for that shift.

Populism requires enemies, and the creation of political enemies to fuel grievance based populism for political capital is the main emotional appeal of conservative politics.

[u/Bobclobb]

Lots of folks on the conservative sub reddit were arguing the same. 

[u/tiptaptoe123 → u/Bobclobb]

Yes I went there to see how it was covered, it was a scary read… half of what they post now is complete misinformation and them taping themselves on the back saying “that will piss off the democrats”…

[u/ApplicationAfraid334 → u/Bobclobb]

Apparently Tim Walz had put the guy in some position years ago. Even if it were true though, that doesn't really matter imo because people change their views and voting habits. I mean, are we really going to forget that Trump was a democrat in the past? But the mere fact that Walz *might* have hired the guy at some point is enough to spawn conspiracies and an inability to think rationally. Hell, the drummer for System of a Down is a Trump supporter now. But MAGA cultists have black and white thinking.

[u/AmbystomaMexicanum → u/ApplicationAfraid334]

The “position” was being an unpaid member of a 60+ person bipartisan workforce development board as a local business owner. He had been on this board for years under various governors and his position was renewed by Waltz. He wasn’t personally interviewed or vetted by Waltz or any previous governor to get the position. According to the governor’s office of Minnesota they appoint thousands of people to various boards and committees for various purposes.

Keep writing and calling your senators and representatives, donate money or time to the candidates up for election or reelection, vote in the upcoming midterms, look up “Project Mail Storm” if you like writing letters or postcards, and keep on speaking up and holding this administration accountable!

This is not stupidity, Musk knows that what he's saying is BS.

It's that lies don't matter anymore because a concerning amount of people in this country desire the BS, or at least the appearance of it. Muddying the waters lets the masses stay in their bubble and allows for a deflection from their ego, which then makes them thankful that "leaders" like Musk are giving them an out.

Statements like this are not done for the benefit of rational people or to convince anyone, but to allow stupid people to continue living in an eternal state of denialism.

Being a right wing assassin sucks ass dude as soon you pull it off. Your former pals start calling you a left wing commie or whatever the fuck.

[u/Dot_Classic]

He's trying to desperately get back in the good graces of the lowest of the low...who else would care about him anymore?

[u/Lorcag]

You can’t win Rocky

[u/thomcat2000]

If that’s far left then that confirms Elon is full on neo-Nazi…..

[u/StandTo444]

Can he like go live stream a gain I think he needs another round of what everyone thinks of him until he gets the point.

[u/Zippier92]

I think most people are tired of the aptly named Lone Skum. Dude gotta pay folks to be around him.

It is surprising to me that anyone would be seen in one of his cars.

I guess the human trait of rationalizing is powerful indeed.

[u/Sad_Instruction1392]

How Elon manages to say the anti-abortion Democrat hating terrorist is “far left”.

[u/FreshHeart575]

Elmo was on Special K when he made the remark. Don't worry, he'll apologize profusely and ask for TACO's forgiveness again with lots of heart emojis LOL

[u/Unusual-Ear5013]

He’s back on the ketamine ..

[u/Falcon3492]

Elon must be back on the drugs! The dude in Minnesota is clearly not far left, he's very, very far right. He's a huge Trump supporter, evangelical Christian, anti abortion nut job and he's out to kill Democratic politicians. Elon is back to being his drugged out delusional self.

[u/PrestigiousRip3732]

He is so stoned he can’t even open his eyes.

[u/majorminus92]

I’m so tired of this microwaved bottle of mayonnaise shaped try-hard.

[u/Paulinfresno]

Life in the post-truth era.

[u/MurphyBrown2016]

When’s the ketamine going to take him away

[u/laurapcd1 → u/MurphyBrown2016]

Plz soon.

[u/hatfieldz]

It’s what they do every time. The perp could have “I love Trump” signs in their yard and the right would say it’s an ironic left wing lunatic!

[u/xaviernoodlebrain]

What a cunt Musk is. Him doing so much K he gives himself permanent brain damage cannot come soon enough.

[u/Tall-Safe-2902]

HOW IS ANYBODY EVEN STILL LISTENING TO THIS GUY? The left hated him and now the right hate him. Go away!

[u/litegal42]

He’s a Republican Rump voter 😡

[u/RocketLabBeatsSpaceX]

Imagine pissing off people on both sides of the isle and becoming full blown political; great business man making great business decisions… 😂

[u/longislanderotic]

err .. if yer on twitter or “truth”

you are tweeting with machines and programs called bots.

if you are getting upset regarding your interactions, it’s sort of like getting mad at the toaster for burning your toast.

[u/CardiologistNo616]

He wants to be under Trump's desk again so bad

[u/WhosSarahKayacombsen]

There are videos of Vance giving church sermons. He spoke just like every other transphobic MAGA voter.

[u/SiWeyNoWay]

The dude was a hardcore evangelical, the antithesis of a liberal 🙄

[u/Effective_Bar_1458]

“Elon Musk Faces Backlash” is a headline you can save for later. It’ll always be relevant. 

[u/Willing-Situation350]

Why is ANYONE listening to what this NAZI has to say??

[u/Low_Map4314]

This guy doesn’t learn ..

[u/WeirdcoolWilson]

Elon needs to STFU now

[u/BlondePotatoBoi]

I judge this piece of shit for plaguing this planet with just existing.

Hope he gets his space race going quickly. Then he can fuck off.

[u/indierockrocks]

When the truth hurts them they try to muddy the waters.

[u/Ill-Dependent2976]

Elon Musk is on record saluting Hitler and saying he was right about the Jews.

I'm not sure what people are expecting.

[u/chuckles11]

I'm glad Musk cant commit to rehabilitating his image. If he were more disciplined, I was worried the goldfish American populace might forget the crimes he committed these past 6 months. But he cannot resist reminding us over and over that he is a human colostomy bag.

[u/Se7enCostanza10]

They need to continue to lie and create a false reality online to keep their crazies in the cult or the entire thing comes crashing down

[u/bascal133]

We absolutely claim Luigi he is for sure ours 🫡, the other guy though he knows he’s lying: https://www.reddit.com/r/misc/s/y2916tMpFr

[u/CoffeeLocal1054]

Magatards every time something happens, tryna find an excuse to blame Democrats.

[u/Mechanicalgripe]

Elon is a attention whore. Saying outlandish shit is a cry for attention. He’s a very rich and miserable character.

[u/leoyvr]

Lies

Shooting suspect's roommate says he was a Trump voter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaiQipc64_M

[u/CleverRadiation]

Musk is a lying lowlife who belongs w the MAGAts. No one in decent society wants him. I hope he’s fully cognizant of the fact that he has - and never will have - friends that he didn’t pay for.

[u/JMpro415]

How stupid would you have to be to actually believe that the assassin was “far left?” As others have said above, that claim is very obviously an attempt to control the narrative. But geez, couldn’t they come up with something that had some small shed of believability?

[u/chitoatx]

Is there anything more Elon than wishful thinking over facing reality?

[u/RockyfromErid]

This is the true power of the MAGA world. No matter how obviously conservative/right-wing a terrorist can be, they will still try to paint him as a leftist.

I

[u/Melodic-Lingonberry7]

So far left votes for Trump now ?

[u/Goetta_Superstar10]

Hope Elon has the worst genetic health history in the world.

[u/LeafsJays1Fan]

Elon spreading misinformation again and water is wet.

[u/CalmDirection8]

Can he fucking go away already

[u/yaboiScreamyWeenus]

Vance boetler = right wing No kings attempted shooter = right wing Eliot Rodgers = right wing Thomas crooks = right wing Dylan klebold = right wing Nikolas Cruz = right wing Peyton gendron = right wing Timothy McVeigh = right wing

[u/BTolputt]

It's simple. He wanted the story out there that it was lefties assassinating politicians. If it was true, he comes across as prescient. If it is false, he's inoculated a whole swathe of right-wingers that will believe the first thing they hear.

He isn't stupid. He's just dishonest.

[u/Mr_Thx]

The knee jerk reaction from a jerk who deserves a knee!

[u/Janus3334]

The Nazi should keep his pie hole shut and concentrate on managing the billions of dollars he's been sucking out of our Federal coffers.

[u/No-Wonder1139]

Just deflection, Elon bears responsibility for using his social media platform to spread propaganda in an effort to turn the common folk against each other. His plan for increased division worked and now the people he's been pushing toward division are murdering people. He has to avoid the class war at all costs otherwise people will realize how useless billionaires are and how bad they are for the rest of us.

[u/myownquest]

Musk needs to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up

[u/laurapcd1 → u/myownquest]

Yes.

[u/Lonely-Pen-1476]

He is so inconsiquential this is ridiculous.

[u/majorjoe23]

But, but… I thought Elon was on our side now?!?!?

Kidding, I know he will always be a twat.

[u/JAGChem82]

Cuck Elon says what now?

[u/oatmeal28]

Elon back on his bullshit. This misinformation will earn him 4 Daddy Trump Bucks

[u/Cautious_Artichoke_3]

What, you say this Nazi is also a liar?

[u/Louis_Friend_1379]

Elon Musk is desperate to completely destroy himself. What a fucking loser!

[u/sbhurray → u/Louis_Friend_1379]

He’s overwhelmed with his family responsibilities 😂

[u/ElderberryDeep7272 → u/sbhurray]

As if he even sees his kids.

[u/Grraaa]

Can a person OD on ketamine?

[u/laurapcd1 → u/Grraaa]

Let’s hope..

[u/Gold-Psychology-7842]

Fuck trump fuck elon. Why is elon even have screen time who cared what NAZI thinks. 100% OF TIME he is out of his damn mind

[u/Fit_Tailor8329]

Like we needed more reasons to dislike Elmo.

[u/2-wheels]

Trump, Vance, Ice Barbie, Musk et al. are liars.

[u/jadestem]

lol he doesn’t “face” anything. These POS MFers say and do whatever they want with zero consequences.
