So now, according to the left, if you approve of carbon tax credits but mock Joe Biden and woke leftists, you are one of the “MAGA kooks.”
Recently, Musk took heat for agreeing with the carbon tax and got some pushback on the right over his statement. It’s not a big deal. Elon is reasonable, and I’m sure there’ll be a debate about it.
Leftists later called him one of the “MAGA kooks” for funding a lawsuit against Disney and allowing Tucker to use X (formerly Twitter).
However, what happened in the days that followed is hilarious.
The left is just freaking out that Tucker Carlson got to interview Putin.
.@juliaioffe on Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin in Russia: “What’s really shocking is the way he just walks right into Moscow and presents himself on a silver platter to the Kremlin. Doing the Kremlin’s job of misinforming, disinforming the American population.” pic.twitter.com/1ySqKpNH2I

Does Tucker really think we journalists haven’t been trying to interview President Putin every day since his full scale invasion of Ukraine? It’s absurd — we’ll continue to ask for an interview, just as we have for years now. https://t.co/pW8F2zbq1i

Independent Journalist Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi have defended Tucker doing the interview and criticized the drive-by media.
The only reason @TuckerCarlson in Russia is controversial is because the rest of the media has bent all the way over for the censorship regime. MSNBC, CNN, they’d have gladly interviewed Putin just for the ratings once — now they’re clowns taking dictation for the security state.

***Foul language warning*** Also, if you are chewing or drinking, swallow first because you are going to laugh out loud.
On the evening of February 6, 2024, Greenwald asked a rhetorical question, asking if any American journalists had conducted a “minimally adversarial” interview about Ukraine.
“To be fair, it’s hard for them to talk while giving a bl**job at the same time,” Elon said, commenting on Greenwald’s social media post.
We’ll place the screenshot at the bottom of the post in case it gets deleted.
