Billionaire SpaceX and Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk ripped an MSNBC host on Monday after he made a highly disparaging remark about Republicans while claiming Musk himself is transforming Twitter into a platform for “the far-right.”
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan, who has likened non-Muslims to “cattle,” attempted to codify the country’s far-Left faction by claiming that they only want to “give us free health care and free childcare” while going on to claim that the far-right “wants to give us white supremacy and no democracy.”
“And this asymmetrical polarization of U.S. politics would be laughable if it weren’t so horrifying,” Hasan said. “We are living through an unspeakably dangerous moment, the pro-QAnon, pro-neo Nazi faction of the Republican Party is poised to expand dramatically come the midterms.”
And like other far-left cable news hosts frequently do, Hasan tied his complaints to former President Donald Trump.
“We’re just two years away from Donald Trump very possibly reseizing executive power. If that happens, we may look back on this past week as a pivotal moment when a petulant and not so bright billionaire casually bought one of the world’s most influential messaging machines, and just handed it to the far right,” he continued, obsessing over Trump as per his normal.
