NBC attacked Elon Musk for his buying of Twitter and accused him of using it to pander to the “far-right.”
Musk responded by saying that NBC needed to take a look in the mirror before throwing mud in his direction, saying that NBC was a key player in covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was admitted to be true by the likes of the New York Times.
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

Musk also said that NBC is the same organization that “had Harvey Weinstein story early and killed it and built Matt Lauer his rape office.”
“Lovely people,” said Musk on Twitter.
The comments on Lauer come after it was discovered that he had a button under his desk to lock his office doors, forcing women to be alone in his office with him.
Host Mehdi Hasan’s said that Musk could bolster support from QAnon and Neo-Nazi factions of the Republican party.
Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office. Lovely people.

“It’s easy in American discourse to talk simplistically about the far-left and the far-right as two equally dangerous fringe blocks. Elon Musk has done it plenty of times, just in the past week,” Hasan said.
“But, here’s the difference: America’s far-left wants to give us free healthcare and free childcare. America’s far-right wants to give us white supremacy and no democracy.”
