President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden, claimed in a podcast interview this week that &#8220;very sick&#8221; Republicans were &#8220;trying to kill&#8221; him to end his father&#8217;s presidency.
Hunter Biden suggested in a rare interview on the podcast &#8220;Moby Pod,&#8221; hosted by the musician Moby, on Friday that Republicans were &#8220;engaging in a public campaign to lure him into a substance abuse relapse in an effort to damage his father&#8217;s presidency,&#8221; NBC News <a href="https://archive.is/O3LBb#selection-1521.117-1521.237">reported</a>.
&#8220;I recognize that none of this is necessarily about me,&#8221; Hunter Biden claimed. &#8220;They are trying to in their most illegitimate way, but rational way, they&#8217;re trying to destroy a presidency. And so it&#8217;s not about me and their most base way, what they&#8217;re trying to do is they&#8217;re trying to kill me knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle and so therefore destroying the presidency in that way.&#8221;
&#8220;And so I realized that, that it&#8217;s not about me,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And then the second thing that I realize is that these people are just sad, very, very sick people that have most likely just faced traumas in their lives, that they&#8217;ve decided that they are going to turn into an evil that they decide that they&#8217;re going to inflict on the rest of the world.&#8221;
Hunter Biden also attacked X owner Elon Musk, claiming that he was a &#8220;very damaged human being&#8221; and that he was &#8220;the dumbest smart person I think that the world has ever known.&#8221;
&#8220;Elon Musk doesn&#8217;t care about the g*****n First Amendment,&#8221; he lashed out. &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t care about anybody but himself. And so all of this idea that he&#8217;s a champion for the First Amendment and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Elon Musk doesn&#8217;t care about democracy. Elon Musk doesn&#8217;t care about our freedom to vote. He doesn&#8217;t care about that. Is there any time that you&#8217;ve ever saw anything from him that has any rational defense of democracy of what we&#8217;ve created here as Americans as his adopted country?&#8221;

If you&#8217;re a frequent user of social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and especially TikTok, you may have recently stumbled across videos or posts featuring a younger couple extolling the supposed virtues of remaining childless, including extra free time, more money, and lower stress levels.
The men and women in these videos invariably gush about how much better their lives are without children, and many pointedly replace a would-be child with a dog or cat, professing that they are much easier and more enjoyable than a child. These videos often depict relatively normal, day-to-day activities like making breakfast or taking a trip to the grocery store as well as extravagant shopping sprees and exotic vacations.
Welcome to the emerging &#8220;dual income, no kids&#8221; (otherwise known by the acronym DINK) trend.
DINKs are often couples in their late 20s to mid-30s who have made the choice to not have children in order to afford a more luxurious lifestyle and, so they say, have more freedom to pursue their own personal goals. Videos of these couples have racked up tens of millions of views and, perhaps more disturbingly, millions of likes online.
Here&#8217;s a common example:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
There are going to be a lot of “DINKs” in the future in their 50s to 80s that are going to be regretting this strategy.

The first video has <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@johnefinance/video/7308504806971149611?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racked</a> up 2 million views and over 220,000 likes on TikTok within days of being posted, while the second has garnered nearly 4 million views and 225,000 likes.
Though couples throughout history have chosen to not have children for a variety of reasons, it has only become a mainstream trend in the last few years. Radical feminists have argued for decades that childbearing impedes a woman&#8217;s ability to have a career or otherwise achieve self-fulfillment. Pre-pandemic, &#8220;childless by choice&#8221; rhetoric <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/26/groups-want-to-save-life-on-earth-except-humans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became popular</a> among radical environmentalist groups, who argued that increasing the human population will further harm the environment and that children should not be brought into a world on the brink of a climate catastrophe.
Recent polls <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meet-typical-dink-double-income-no-kid-net-worth-retirement-2023-11#they-have-a-net-worth-of-250-600-and-are-making-six-figures-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have found</a> that even more people are choosing to not have children. <a href="https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2021/demo/p70-173.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to</a> the U.S. Census Bureau, 16.5% of people over the age of 55 were childless in 2018. In that same year, around one in seven women in the country between 40 and 44 were childless, up from one in ten in 1976.
A Pew survey <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/11/19/growing-share-of-childless-adults-in-u-s-dont-expect-to-ever-have-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conducted</a> in October 2021 found that 44% of childless people younger than 50 said they are not likely to have children during their lives. That was an increase from 37% in 2018. A majority, 56%, of those who responded that they were unlikely to have children said that they didn&#8217;t want children &#8220;because they just don&#8217;t want to,&#8221; while 43% said they had a specific reason, including financial and medical considerations, for remaining childless.
Recent DINK videos seem to focus on the prospect of greater self-fulfillment as well as the greater economic freedom offered by remaining childless — likely due to ongoing inflation, rising home prices, stagnant wages, and the federal government&#8217;s monetary policies.
The median net worth of a couple without children was nearly $400,000 in 2022, <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/dataviz/scf/chart/#series:Net_Worth;demographic:famstruct;population:1,2,3,4,5;units:median" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> data from a survey of consumer finances by the Federal Reserve. That median net worth is almost $150,000 higher than that of couples with children. Couples without children also have significantly more money saved for retirement than couples with children, the survey <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/dataviz/scf/chart/#series:Retirement_Accounts;demographic:famstruct;population:1,2,3,4,5;units:median;range:1989,2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a>.
The DINK trend is beginning to take off just as concerns about global fertility rates are also increasing. X CEO Elon Musk has been especially vocal about the declining fertility rate, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-wrong-about-fertility-rates-global-warming-demographers-say-2022-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warning</a> in 2022 that &#8220;population collapse&#8221; as a result of a plummeting birth rate is more dangerous to humanity than climate change.
Musk even responded to one of the recent viral DINK videos with an X post that said, &#8220;There is an awful morality to those who deliberately have no kids: they are effectively demanding that other people’s kids take care of them in their old age. That’s messed up.&#8221;

The current total fertility rate (the average number of children a woman will have in her lifetime) in the U.S. is 1.64 births per woman. The replacement level fertility rate for a society is 2.1 births per woman. Much of the United States&#8217; population growth in recent years has been due to immigration as well as the fact that immigrants tend to have a higher fertility rate
The Census Bureau <a href="https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023/population-projections.html#:~:text=Though%20largely%20illustrative%2C%20the%20zero,lower%20than%20the%202022%20estimate." target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimates</a> that if the United States had no new immigration and only relied on domestic births for population growth, the total population of the country would decline from an estimated 333 million people in 2022 to only 226 million in 2100. Only in the medium and high immigration scenarios examined by the Census Bureau is the U.S. population projected to grow by 2100.
The population of the United States is also estimated to become significantly older because of declining birth rates. Whereas around 22% of the population <a href="https://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop2.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was under</a> 18 in 2022, it is expected to decline to 16.4% by 2100, with almost one-third of the entire population older than 65.
The most popular DINK videos appear to originate from TikTok, and that might provide a clue into why they seem to capture such a gigantic audience. Besides the fact that TikTok is a wildly popular app, <a href="https://newsroom.tiktok.com/en-us/150-m-us-users" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasting around</a> 150 million users in the U.S. alone as of March 2023, the company has been accused of promoting harmful content in the past.
Since its initial rise in popularity, TikTok has become a haven for radical gender and race ideology, as extensively <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented</a> by the popular X account &#8220;Libs of TikTok.&#8221; In fact, by the end of 2021, videos on the app related to transgender ideology alone had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tiktok-videos-about-transgenderism-boast-26-billion-views?inf_contact_key=31f949520481662aaa67eb7ce40b03b04dfbc39d7283b2cb89d5189540b69330" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racked up</a> a combined 26 billion views. One study from late 2022 found that the app promoted self-harm and eating disorder-related content to users, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tiktok-pushes-potentially-harmful-content-to-users-as-often-as-every-39-seconds-study/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CBS News.

The &#8220;dual income, no kids&#8221; trend may just be a fad borne from social media algorithms and economic pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, but unlike many other fleeting online trends, it has the potential to cause significant long-term harm to the country as birth rates continue to fall and the population continues to age. It remains to be seen what consequences DINKs will reap in exchange for the supposedly more carefree, luxurious lifestyle they&#8217;ve sown.

A man was arrested late last week for planning a &#8220;mass casualty event&#8221; at Tesla&#8217;s headquarters in Texas during an event to celebrate the much anticipated release of the electric car company&#8217;s new Cybertruck, according to law enforcement officials.
A SWAT team tracked down and arrested 28-year-old Paul Ryan Overeem at a McDonald’s parking lot and arrested him after he allegedly threatened to attack the event in messages he wrote on social media.
Tesla was notified on November 10 about the messages and they subsequently contacted local law enforcement officials who then began investigating, according to the <a href="https://www.statesman.com/story/news/crime/2023/11/30/police-florida-man-threatened-mass-casualty-event-at-tesla-in-austin/71759521007/">Austin American-Statesman</a>.
Overeem allegedly <a href="https://kutv.com/news/nation-world/florida-man-arrested-in-texas-after-allegedly-threatening-mass-casualty-event-at-tesla-event-paul-ryan-overeem-terroristic-threat-charges-elon-musk-shooting-threats-shivon-zilis-swat-officers-police-investigation">wrote</a> the following messages on Instagram:
<ul>
<li>“I sure am crazy though”</li>
<li>“But yeah so at the Tesla event I’m planning an attach [sic] so up to you guys to stop me”</li>
<li>“I plan on killing people at that even ok November 30th and I would like you to do something about it so I don’t have to”</li>
<li>“I wanna die. My thoughts haven’t been free for over a year. All the electronics around me”</li>
<li>“I need to be stopped”</li>
<li>“If I’m saying I’m gonna kill people then you should take this seriously”</li>
</ul>
When SWAT officers arrested him, he allegedly said that he had weapons in his car and that he was going to commit suicide before he could be arrested. &#8220;I was going to shoot up Elon Musk and the plant,&#8221; he said.
The suspect was charged in Travis County on suspicion of making a terrorist threat, a third-degree felony. He is being held in jail after not posting the $300,000 bond.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/daily-wire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> will spend a quarter of a million dollars on advertising for &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>&#8221; on the social media platform X after Disney last month announced it would no longer advertise on the platform.
Disney has joined an exodus of brands and companies from advertising on X. Disney CEO Bob Iger credited the move to comments X CEO Elon Musk made last month related to Left-leaning Jewish groups supporting the Democratic Party, a significant part of which backs anti-Semitic positions on U.S. policy toward Israel.
Critics accused Musk of anti-Semitism. The Left-wing outlet Media Matters published a report in the wake of the controversy suggesting that X advertisements ran often on pro-Nazi content posted to the site. Musk is now suing Media Matters for defamation over the report.
Iger said at an event last month that his entertainment giant Disney would no longer advertise on X because Musk “taking the position that he took in quite a public manner, we just felt that the association with that position and Elon Musk and X was not necessarily a positive one for us, and we decided we would pull our advertising.”

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro announced on Friday that his outlet would be spending $250,000 on advertisements for its new feature length comedy “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>” to run on X in support of Musk amid the advertiser exodus. “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>” mocks the recent and controversial phenomenon of men competing in women’s sports and is described in the trailer as the “most triggering comedy of the year.”
“Disney is not pulling its advertising on X because of one of Elon Musk’s tweets, a tweet he then explained and apologized for. They are pulling their advertising because they are part of an advertising cascade that is designed to pressure Elon Musk into doing their bidding,” Shapiro said.
Musk condemned those advertisers leaving his platform in comments at an event last month, saying that any company or person that tries to blackmail him with “money” can “go f*** yourself.”
“Disney and others pulling money from X are doubling down on their own catastrophic, woke strategies,” Shapiro said. “They really don’t like free speech, and they especially hate any company or platform that can break their stranglehold on the media; the same media that has never been willing to say, ‘go f*** yourself,’ to the likes of Disney. It’s a true clash of the titans.”

“Will our $250,000 cut into X’s loss of revenue due to virtue signaling? Not much, but every little bit does help,” Shapiro said. “If we want to keep X a free speech space, it’s important that everyone continue to subsidize the businesses they like. As Elon so aptly put it, if Disney and others are successful in their advertising boycott, it will kill free speech. And if that happens, everybody is going to know who actually killed it.”

By now you&#8217;ve probably seen footage of Elon Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-blasts-advertisers-threatening-to-blackmail-him-by-pulling-ads-go-f-yourself" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> at the New York Times DealBook Summit last night. This is an annual summit that brings together business leaders, and several of them are interviewed on-stage. Normally it&#8217;s not particularly newsworthy. Anytime you gather together a bunch of corporate CEO&#8217;s and business owners, you typically get a lot of carefully choreographed language. It&#8217;s all very brand-safe, by design.
But this year&#8217;s DealBook Summit was unique, mainly because of this one moment. It came during Musk&#8217;s interview with CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin. Sorkin began by asking Musk about the ongoing advertiser boycott of X, and whether Musk is desperate to win those advertisers back. Here&#8217;s what Musk said in response: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is one of the most extraordinary 5-minute clips I’ve ever seen on this app. An epoch-making exchange. <a href="https://t.co/DbAFF5MkWD">pic.twitter.com/DbAFF5MkWD</a>
&mdash; Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoelWBerry/status/1730058223271485595?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
There&#8217;s more context for that clip, which I&#8217;ll play in a little bit. But for now, what you just heard is Musk telling the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, in no uncertain terms, to go f*** himself. This is the head of one of the most powerful entertainment companies on the planet. And Bob Iger was apparently in the audience when Musk said that, which is awesome. 
But Musk wasn&#8217;t just talking to him. He was delivering the same message to every other corporate advertiser that has suspended advertising on X, as a way to force him restore the old censorship regime of Twitter. As of now, the list of advertisers boycotting X includes more than 100 companies, including some of the largest corporations on the planet. Musk was telling all of these corporations — which are now clearly trying to destroy him for political reasons — to go to hell.
It goes without saying that nothing like this has ever happened before. That&#8217;s what Andrew Ross Sorkin was completely and totally shellshocked; he could barely get a word out. In the business world, what Musk did was unthinkable. The owners of major corporations aren&#8217;t exactly known for standing on principle, even when that principle could destroy the business model of their entire company. But that&#8217;s exactly what Musk did. And mainstream journalists like Sorkin certainly cannot conceive of anyone actually standing up to corporations like Disney. These are all subservient, masochistic little weaklings who bow to our corporate overlords. They are shocked to see anyone do otherwise. 
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1270-the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
At the same time, what was even more interesting than Musk&#8217;s remarks — and what ultimately proved his point — was how the corporate news media responded to what Musk said. They were universally outraged. They didn&#8217;t even try to hide their disdain — even though Musk wasn&#8217;t addressing them. 
And that&#8217;s odd, when you think about it — or at least, it should be odd. After all, these media outlets claim to be interested in reporting the news. They claim that they&#8217;re not simply vessels for corporate messaging. But last night, they couldn&#8217;t help themselves. One after another, these outlets unloaded on Musk in the most disparaging possible terms. It was clearly personal. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Media attacks on Musk" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1COed3OAeR8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
Did you catch the disclosure at the end there? Musk was calling out Comcast at the DealBook Summit and Comcast, incidentally, is the parent company of NBC Universal. And then NBC News just so happens to accuse Elon Musk of hating Jewish people.
And then there&#8217;s the deranged segment from KTLA in Los Angeles — the flagship station of the CW Television Network — in which the analyst explains that no one will ever trust Musk ever again, because he&#8217;s such a horrible person. He&#8217;s created a &#8220;toxic landscape.&#8221; They even suggest that Musk is going to try and steal customers&#8217; credit card numbers, because he told off Bob Iger. They&#8217;re not just attacking him for what he said, they&#8217;re saying, preemptively, that if he pivots X to a subscription model, that you shouldn&#8217;t trust him because he&#8217;s going to rip you off.
This kind of demented coverage has been relentless. It&#8217;s been coming from every single corporate media outlet. Fox News accused Musk of antisemitism last week, for example. And just a couple days ago, ABC News ran a segment in which the anchor (and panelists) took turns trashing Musk and X. The segment ended with ABC News urging the White House — as well as everyone in the ABC News audience — to abandon the platform. They could not have been more explicit about their activism.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Elon Musk visits Kfar Aza following accusations of antisemitism on X" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DGuzdlTWvLg?start=53&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
What&#8217;s extraordinary about that clip — beyond what you just saw — is what they didn&#8217;t talk about. I watched all seven minutes of the full segment, at no point did ABC News disclose that the parent company of ABC News is The Walt Disney Company. Somehow they didn&#8217;t mention that their boss, Bob Iger, had suspended his company&#8217;s ads on Twitter. That conflict of interest never came up once. They were too busy telling you to abandon Twitter at all costs, because it&#8217;s a &#8220;sewer.&#8221; And for good measure, they were begging the White House to do the same.
It goes without saying that ABC News never once mentions what Media Matters did in order to smear X as a quote &#8220;sewer.&#8221; They don&#8217;t talk about Musk&#8217;s lawsuit against Media Matters for misleading X&#8217;s advertisers about this.
ABC doesn&#8217;t tell their audience that Media Matters went to great lengths to engineer a scenario that would put corporate advertisements near &#8220;objectionable&#8221; content on their timelines. You&#8217;re just supposed to take it on faith that X is somehow the only platform where you could engineer a scenario like this — even as Instagram&#8217;s algorithm has been <a href="https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/instagram-pedophile-network-child-pornography-researchers-1235635743/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shown</a> to connect pedophiles with child pornography.
What you can gather from the sheer dishonesty of the clips I just showed — and many more like them — is that the corporate news media understands, for good reason, that Musk&#8217;s criticism of mega corporations is also an attack on them. In some cases, that&#8217;s because these media companies are directly owned by the corporations that Musk is attacking. In other cases, it&#8217;s because these media companies are completely beholden to these corporations for their own advertising dollars.
That&#8217;s why what Musk said at the DealBook Summit was so important. It wasn&#8217;t just a cathartic declaration of war against corporate censors. It also exposed many of the so-called journalists and news organizations that are completely beholden to these censors. Which is why they’re telling you not to trust Musk anymore, because he was mean to Bob Iger.
Meanwhile, they&#8217;re running endless advertisements for Big Pharma. And yet, despite that, you&#8217;re supposed to trust them when they report on Ozempic, or the tenth version of the COVID booster. You&#8217;re also supposed to blindly trust their &#8220;experts on disinformation,&#8221; whom they&#8217;ve hired directly from the FBI and the CIA. These are people who have lied to your face for years, about everything from Russiagate to the pandemic. And now they&#8217;re trying to destroy Musk for one tweet — out of tens of thousands of tweets — that he clarified almost immediately. (He also apologized at the DealBook Summit for his remarks being poorly worded, not that any of these ghouls care about that, and not that he owed any kind of apology at all.)
The truth is, they were never upset about <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1724932619203420203?s=20">what Musk said</a> about the ADL and other Left-wing groups like it. They&#8217;re not even really pretending he&#8217;s &#8220;antisemitic&#8221; anymore. They seem to recognize that would be an odd charge to make, after Israel&#8217;s prime minister rolled out the welcome mat for Musk the other day. So now they&#8217;re back to old-fashioned mafia tactics. They&#8217;re not hiding the fact that they despise him for exposing how corporate control of the media works. That&#8217;s why they&#8217;re smearing him as someone who&#8217;s going to steal your credit card. It&#8217;s why they&#8217;re smirking about some random mayor in Europe leaving X, as if that matters. Their tactics are getting desperate and obvious.
A little while ago, I told you that I would play some more of Musk&#8217;s remarks. This is the part of his comments that didn&#8217;t get as much play on social media, but it&#8217;s just as important as what he told Bob Iger and the other advertisers. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That&#8217;s not a moment that the major media outlets are going to play on loop. They&#8217;re going to fixate on the big f-bomb, and try to portray Musk as some kind of unhinged lunatic. But this part of Musk&#8217;s conversation with Sorkin was just as important, if not more important, than what he told Bob Iger.
Disney does not create anything of value, in fact they create negative value. More people than ever recognize that now. At the very same DealBook Summit where Musk spoke, Bob Iger made that very clear. As if to prove that point, here&#8217;s a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/media/marvel-movies-bob-iger-disney/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> summarizing what Iger said: &#8220;Disney CEO Bob Iger says ‘No. 1 priority’ is turning around Marvel, acknowledges ‘too many sequels’ after box office misses.&#8221;
That&#8217;s Disney&#8217;s top priority. They&#8217;re going to work on cranking out more Marvel movies, flooded with Left-wing propaganda, that no one will watch. They&#8217;re not attempting to launch rocket ships to Mars. They&#8217;re entirely focused on Marvel films, and putting as much gay propaganda in children&#8217;s content as possible. And people are rejecting it. The movies are <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/the-marvels-bombs-box-office-whats-next-marvel-cinematic-universe-1235788706/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bombing</a>. Disney Plus recently <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonifitzgerald/2023/08/09/new-record-for-disney-sheds-117-million-subscribers-password-crackdown-coming/?sh=153786b1d7b2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost</a> more than 10 million subscribers. 
By contrast, Musk is accomplishing things that help humanity, they&#8217;re not. They&#8217;re doing the exact opposite. And those are the people Musk can&#8217;t stand. They&#8217;re the people we shouldn&#8217;t tolerate either.
What Musk did yesterday was to declare war against the executives responsible for debasing our culture and force-feeding us a stream of lobotomized garbage, while they play the role of censor. He made the simple and obvious point that a CEO who&#8217;s fixated on Marvel movies should not be in charge of free speech in this country. Entertainment executives shouldn&#8217;t be telling everyone else what &#8220;hate speech&#8221; is, or demanding censorship. No corporate CEO should have that power. They should be worried about their own products. That&#8217;s it. They shouldn&#8217;t spend a second thinking about what you can say online.
But for a very long time now, CEO&#8217;s have had the power to censor you. They simply apply pressure to media organizations and social media companies, and they get what they want. They use coercion and blackmail to effectively destroy the First Amendment. And they can always claim that it has nothing to do with the First Amendment, because these are “private companies” imposing these speech restrictions.
The truth is that the distinction between the corporate world and the government has become increasingly irrelevant. The Democrats use corporations to impose speech restrictions that they could not impose legislatively.
But Musk has just challenged this whole regime, as explicitly as he possibly could. And now, as he said, the chips will fall. If people don&#8217;t want free speech — if they want the Marvel guy to tell them what to think — then free speech will die. X will collapse, and shortly afterwards, so will your ability to say what you think on the Internet.
This is preventable, but it takes some work. It takes people standing up and saying what they know is true, regardless of the personal cost they might face. And that&#8217;s been happening more and more. It&#8217;s happened with the gender debate. It&#8217;s happened with Target selling satanic merchandise to children. It&#8217;s happened with affirmative action, which is now broadly unpopular in this country. It&#8217;s happened with Ukraine funding, too. Now, as Musk said, people need to turn on the corporate censors who have silenced them for so long.
These companies need to suffer real consequences for what they tried to do here. For that to happen, Americans need to do what Elon Musk did last night, and tell all of these would-be overlords, in no uncertain terms, that they need to go f*** themselves.

Elon Musk Tells Our Corporate Overlords To F*** Themselves

Corporations

New York Times

Social Media

Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), took to the floor of the Senate to decry anti-Semitism. 
Schumer isn’t an amazing source on this particular topic, given his consistent support of the Middle East policies of the most anti-Semitic president in modern history, Barack Obama. Nonetheless, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlEB0sgap4U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke about</a> the threat of anti-Semitism. And, in a rare moment of quasi-honesty, he actually mentioned the problem of anti-Semitism among liberals. 
“Not long ago, many of us marched together for Black and brown lives,” Schumer said. “We stood against anti-Asian hatred. We protested bigotry against the LGBTQ community. We fought for reproductive justice, out of the recognition that injustice against one oppressed group is injustice against all. But apparently, in the eyes of some, that principle does not extend to the Jewish people.”
“I’m a progressive,” he <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/29/us/politics/schumer-antisemitism-israel-hamas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued</a>. “I’ve had lots of good relationships with all the people who are protesting, but I also feel the urgency — the Jewish people are anguished. I had an obligation to many places: to the Jewish people, to my fellow progressives.”
Then he said of the “progressives,” “I had to say it, because I don’t think they know it. I don’t think they’re of bad will.”
Note the language there: Sure, they’re anti-Semitic, but they know not what they do. Schumer explained that the phrase “from the river to the sea” was actually just an ignorant expression, not a genocidal one. “Plenty of people,” Schumer said, chant the phrase, “not because they hate Jewish people, but because they support a better future for Palestinians.”
Of course, that’s a lie — and it’s a particularly egregious lie when Schumer himself has had nothing to say about anti-Semites Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. 
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1859-musk-is-right-kill-dei-to-fight-anti-semitism-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
But that lie must be maintained by the Left — because to recognize the roots of Left-wing anti-Semitism would be to destroy the progressive ideology wholesale. That Leftist ideology is based on a matrix of oppressor versus oppressed — that in any given situation, the powerless are oppressed and the powerful are oppressors. That oppressor-oppressed matrix maps directly onto anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power: Jews are pseudo-white because Jews are financially well-off and Israel is disproportionately successful.
But the oppressor-oppressed matrix doesn’t fit the Jews, who are actually being victimized by widespread anti-Semitism in the Middle East and abroad, but who are also successful.
So the Left keeps pushing the lie.
That’s also true of the Anti-Defamation League, which put out a poll yesterday with Hillel International asking college students if Diversity, Equity and Inclusion should cover anti-Jewish prejudice. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is the rubric under which the Left pushes the idea that unequal group outcomes are the result of systemic discrimination — so, by that math, Jews are the beneficiaries of systemic discrimination. DEI simply can’t include Jews because DEI’s basic logic forbids it. DEI opposes meritocracy. It opposes performance. It opposes success.
Nonetheless, 84% of Jewish students and 75% of non-Jewish college students <a href="https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/nearly-three-quarters-jewish-students-experienced-or-witnessed-antisemitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Jews should be included in DEI training: that Jews should be included in the oppressor-oppressed matrix on the side of the oppressed. Of course they say that — what else, precisely, would they say? The premise of the question is so deeply flawed that only one answer is possible: to say that Jews shouldn’t be included in DEI would be to discriminate against them, which violates the supposed basis of DEI.
But to include Jews explodes the entire DEI superstructure. So these students are saying what they’re expected to say — yes, sure, the Jews can be included in the victim class — without recognizing the central truth of DEI: It is a scam. Victimhood is not connected to one’s level of success. Sometimes the powerless are evil. Sometimes the powerful are good. Sometimes the powerless are victimizers. Sometimes the powerful are the victims.
You can’t fight anti-Semitism with DEI. You can only increase it. The only way to truly fight anti-Semitism is to recognize what the Bible says in Leviticus: “You shall not be partial to the poor, or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.”
But that’s the one thing Chuck Schumer and the ADL will never say.
Instead, people on the Left will pretend that the true anti-Semitism doesn’t lie in the progressive oppressor-oppressed matrix, but in Elon Musk. They’ll target him as an anti-Semite even as he goes to Israel to express solidarity with the families of murdered Jews.
Yesterday, Elon Musk was asked about advertisers canceling because they don’t like his politics. He said, “Don’t advertise. If someone is going to try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f*** yourself. Go f*** yourself. Is that clear?”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Good for him.
All the people pushing DEI are the people seeking to boycott Musk are the people seeking to pussyfoot around Hamas’ feelings. The Venn Diagram is a circle.
And that circle is the true threat to Jews in the West.

X owner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> ripped companies this week that are boycotting advertising on his social media platform after a recent post of his generated controversy.
Musk was accused of supporting anti-Semitism with a poorly worded tweet that he posted several days ago, which he later clarified when he expanded upon his remark. He was subsequently defended by multiple high profile Jewish figures who said that they did not believe that he was anti-Semitic.
The post led to the political Left pressuring multiple companies into boycotting advertisements on X, including Disney, Paramount, NBCUniversal, Comcast, Lionsgate, and Warner Bros. Discovery.
Musk was asked about the boycott during an interview Wednesday on stage at The New York Times Dealbook Summit 2023 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.
&#8220;I hope they stop,&#8221; Musk said about the companies who were boycotting. &#8220;Don&#8217;t advertise.&#8221;
&#8220;You don&#8217;t want them to advertise?&#8221; the host asked.
&#8220;No,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;If somebody&#8217;s gonna try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f*** yourself. Go. F***. Yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. Hey, Bob, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re in the audience.&#8221;
When asked about X&#8217;s business model and what he should do about the company depending on advertising from companies, Musk responded: &#8220;G.F.Y.&#8221;
&#8220;What this advertising boycott is going to do is it&#8217;s going to kill the company,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail.&#8221;
When the host said that advertisers will blame Musk, Musk responded: &#8220;Oh, yeah? Tell it to earth.&#8221;
&#8220;But they&#8217;re going to say, &#8216;Elon, you killed the company because you said these things, and that they were inappropriate things. And they didn&#8217;t feel comfortable on the platform.'&#8221;
&#8220;And let&#8217;s see how Earth responds to that,&#8221; Musk responded.

Elon Musk Blasts Advertisers Threatening To ‘Blackmail’ Him By Pulling Ads: ‘Go. F***. Yourself.’

Elon Musk Blasts Advertisers Threatening To 'Blackmail' Him By Pulling Ads: 'Go. F***. Yourself.'

Big Tech

On Monday, Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth, visited Israel. There, he met with the families of hostages being held by Hamas, toured the sites of the October 7 massacre, and met with both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.
Musk sat through a video compiled from bodycam footage of Hamas terrorists that day and said it was horrifying to watch the joy of those terrorists as they committed their savage atrocities. He then held a press conference at which he spoke the plain truth about the situation on the ground, <a href="https://twitter.com/DrEliDavid/status/1729263170009862479" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, “There’s no choice but to kill those who insist on murdering civilians. There’s no choice. They’re not going to change their mind. And then the second thing is to change the education, so that a new generation of murderers is not trained to be murderers. And then the third thing, which is also very important, is to try to build prosperity.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
.<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@elonmusk</a> on Gaza:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
This is an excellent three-prong plan for destroying Hamas and other radical terrorist groups: Kill those who murder civilians, which means Hamas; overhaul the education system in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which are run by parties who hate Jews and seek the destruction of Israel; and bring economic prosperity. Only after those steps are fulfilled can there be talk of some sort of “peaceful settlement” of the conflict — because only at that point will there be partners willing to make peace.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1857-musk-gets-it-right-in-israel-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
This happens to be the only strategy that has ever worked. Counterinsurgency strategies directed at hostile populations can only be successful over time if the most militant members are killed, the population is re-educated away from hatred, and economic prosperity becomes possible. And make no mistake: The population of Gaza and the West Bank is, indeed, wildly hostile. There is <a href="https://twitter.com/AvivaKlompas/status/1729239462478307594">video</a> from yesterday of the Gazan population harassing Red Cross vehicles carrying Israeli hostages.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
T.E. Lawrence once compared making war on insurgents to “eating soup with a knife,” saying it is “messy and slow.” That, of course, is right.
The model for such counterinsurgency tactics is the British counterinsurgency against Communist revolutionaries in Malaya from 1948-1960. By the time that counterinsurgency began, British forces had been in the country for a century. According to historian Andrew Roberts and General David Petraeus in their new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Conflict-Evolution-Warfare-1945-Ukraine/dp/0063293137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Conflict,”</a> the Malayan campaign was a mixture of stick and carrot: “Providing people with electricity, drinking water, schools, clinics and property rights proved a powerful disincentive for them to support Maoism, but the heady enticement of security had a dialectical partner: firm discipline for those who disobeyed.” The British leadership also knew that the strategy would take time: The general in charge of the operation said he would “shoot the bastard who says this Emergency is over.”
But the British did win.
Israel can secure its future too — but only if it takes the time and effort necessary to do so. This means ignoring the foolishness of those who want a quick ending to a long struggle. 
The first step in that struggle is destroying Hamas, as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has made clear.
Hamas must be destroyed because the terrorist group cannot be reformed. Hamas apparently just transferred control of the entire Bibis family — including a four-year-old and a ten-month-old — to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, another terrorist group. Hamas military leader Yahya Sinwar apparently appeared personally to the hostages in the tunnels to show them his power. One hostage was forced to write a ridiculous letter about how Hamas had treated her daughter “like a queen” while in captivity.
Hamas is evil, full stop.
This is why early calls for Israel to stop its operations against Hamas aren’t just foolish — they’re dangerous. When Bernie Sanders jabbers about Israel’s cruelty toward civilians, he isn’t protecting civilians; he’s making their lives more dangerous, since, if he had his way, they would end up under Hamas’ tender protections.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Bernie Sanders discusses Vermont shooting, Israel-Hamas war" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PRsL_nyZobU?start=189&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Large swaths of the Democratic Party seem determined to prevent Israel from doing what they need to do to actually secure their future. 
This is why Senator Chris Murphy is calling for conditions on aid to Israel — which would be fine, except that the conditions are things like “compliance with international law,” a vague definition that leaves open the possibility of withdrawing aid based on Israel’s current Gaza action. On Friday, President Biden said conditioning aid is a “worthwhile thought”; yesterday, National Security Advisor spokesperson John Kirby wouldn’t rule it out.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and NSC&#039;s John Kirby hold a briefing — 11/27/23" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xpa0ggPyOJU?start=463&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is ridiculous.
It’s also foolish for people to treat the “two-state solution” as though that idiotic nostrum represents a true solution. It doesn’t. It, instead, holds out the hope that the more pressure that is applied to Israel — the more death brought to Israel’s citizenry by terrorists — the more Israel will concede to those terrorists. President Biden has been more stalwart than I would have expected, but his language on this matter is insipid. He <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1729290257927901498" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>, “A two-state solution is the only way to guarantee the long-term security of both the Israeli and the Palestinian people. To make sure Israelis and Palestinians alike live in equal measure of freedom and dignity, we will not give up on working towards that goal.”

No.
The two-state solution may eventually become a possibility. But ironically, talking about it prematurely prevents that possibility from ever materializing — because every incentivization of terrorism increases terrorism, thus making such a solution absolutely impossible.
What needs to happen? Exactly what Musk says: finish Hamas; reeducate the kids away from Islamism; build up the economy.
But that would require moral clarity. And that, of course, is precisely what’s missing these days from a disconnected West.

Missouri Republican Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/missouri-attorney-general-launches-investigation-into-trans-center-for-harming-hundreds-of-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Bailey</a> said Sunday that he was looking into accusations that leftist outlet Media Matters for America intentionally misled readers about X to pressure advertisers to pull support from the social media platform. 
Bailey’s statement came after X owner Elon Musk said on Saturday that he would file a lawsuit against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/media-matters-for-america">Media Matters</a> over a report it ran last week that claimed X was placing ads for major corporations alongside Nazi-related content. As a result of the report, major corporations like Apple and IBM announced they would be pulling advertising from X. Musk said the report was misleading and intended to undermine X’s commitment to free speech.
Musk said that Media Matters had created a “contrived” experience by using an alternate account to curate what posts appeared on the timeline. “Once they curated their feed, they repeatedly refreshed their timelines to find a rare instance of ads serving next to the content they chose to follow,” Musk said. 
Bailey said his team was &#8220;looking into this matter&#8221; in response to a post from Musk commenting on former Trump advisor Stephen Miller’s allegation that what Media Matters did was a civil and criminal violation.

“Great!,&#8221; Musk responded to Bailey. 
The Daily Wire reached out to Bailey’s office for further clarification on his comments. 
According to Musk, the Media Matters report misrepresented X&#8217;s advertising practices. He said X logs indicated that of the 5.5 billion ad impressions on the day Media Matters pulled its research, less than 50 were served alongside the content highlighted by the leftist organization.
For one “brand showcased in the article, two of its ads served adjacent to 2 posts, 3 times, and that ad was only seen in that setting by one user, the author of the Media Matters article,” Musk said.

Corporations quickly responded to the Media Matters report. Warner Bros. Discovery, Comcast/NBCUniversal, Lionsgate, and Paramount Global announced they were pausing ads on the social media platform. Musk has faced accusations of anti-Semitism and allowing Nazi-themed posts on X. 
On Sunday, Musk responded to the allegations.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a>&#8216;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/spacex" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SpaceX</a> made headway in the second test flight of its Starship rocket despite the demo on Saturday ending with explosions.
The spacecraft, which one day may take humans back to the Moon and possibly to Mars with the help of reusable rockets, successfully took off without a crew from the coast of southern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a> and separated from its booster.
Though the vehicle and its booster <a href="https://apnews.com/article/spacex-starship-test-flight-launch-37c0893ddf605270b16a33ae64d69a85" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly exploded</a> one after the other in the minutes that followed over the Gulf of Mexico, meaning SpaceX did not reach its goal of having the Starship reach orbit and then splash down into Pacific Ocean, the company said the test will provide &#8220;invaluable data&#8221; to help it continue perfecting the model.

&#8220;Starship successfully lifted off under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster and made it through a successful stage separation. The booster experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly after its boostback burn following the successful stage separation while Starship&#8217;s 6 second stage Raptor engines fired for several minutes as the Ship climbed to an altitude of ~150 kilometers,&#8221; SpaceX said in a <a href="https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
&#8220;With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help us improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multiplanetary,&#8221; the company added.
This weekend&#8217;s launch appears to have been a marked improvement over SpaceX&#8217;s test flight in April, which resulted in an explosion when the ship and booster <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spacex-provides-details-on-its-massive-rockets-explosion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed to separate</a>.
“They have fixed issues identified in their first flight and got further than ever before with this type of vehicle,” said Phil Larson, a White House space adviser during former President Barack Obama’s administration who later helped with communications at SpaceX, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/science/spacex-starship-launch.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The New York Times</a>. “The magic of engineering is that it is all about learning, iterating the design, and reflying again soon.”
Still, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) <a href="https://twitter.com/FAANews/status/1725926691074150467" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a statement that described what transpired during the test on Saturday as a &#8220;mishap,&#8221; though the agency stressed that the &#8220;anomaly&#8221; did not lead to any reports of injuries or public property damage.

CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper made false claims over the weekend about remarks that X owner Elon Musk made on the social media platform last week.
Tapper made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis while pushing the Republican presidential candidate to condemn Musk for the remarks.
Tapper claimed that Musk &#8220;openly endorsed&#8221; an &#8220;antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews are conspiring to replace white Americans with minority immigrants.&#8221;
When DeSantis said that he had not seen the comments but he knew that Musk had been a target of the political Left ever since he bought Twitter, Tapper responded by showing DeSantis only a portion of Musk&#8217;s comments on the matter.
The controversy started when Musk responded to the following post on X:
<blockquote>Okay. Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. I&#8217;m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest s**t now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don&#8217;t exactly like them too much. You want truth said to your face, there it is.</blockquote>
&#8220;You have said the actual truth,&#8221; Musk responded.
Tapper claimed that Musk later went on to say he was &#8220;talking about the ADL and other Jewish groups are pushing replacements of whites.&#8221;

DeSantis responded by refusing to condemn Musk, telling Tapper that he would not do so because, &#8220;I have no idea what the context is.&#8221;
&#8220;I know Elon Musk. I have never seen him do anything [like that],&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s a guy that believes in America. I have never seen him indulge in any of that. So it&#8217;s surprising, if that&#8217;s true, but I have not seen it. So I don&#8217;t want to sit there and pass judgment on the fly.&#8221;

Nowhere in the post that Musk was responding to was there an explicit anti-Semitic conspiracy theory involving &#8220;pushing replacements of white.&#8221;
Tapper did not read Musk&#8217;s several follow-up posts, including where he said, &#8220;The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. It is not right and needs to stop.&#8221;

&#8220;You (sic) right that this does not extend to all Jewish communities, but it is also not just limited to ADL,&#8221; Musk later added. &#8220;And, at the risk of being repetitive, I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind. I’m sick of it. Stop now.&#8221;

Ben Shapiro, founding editor-in-chief and editor emeritus of The Daily Wire and host of “The Ben Shapiro Show,” defended Musk on his show last week over the controversy, saying that Musk &#8220;made a rather large Twitter boo boo&#8221; because he was not specific enough with what he was talking about in his initial post.
&#8220;So it is true, obviously, that certain Jewish organizations have bought into and promoted things like diversity, equity, and inclusion, which are gross distortions of the American dream,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;Nobody hates DEI more than I do. There are certain Jewish groups that are liberal in orientation, who have supported that sort of stuff. Many of those groups have also pushed for open borders. It is also true that some of those organizations are now realizing post-October 7, that actually open immigration for people who hate Jews on an intersectional basis was pretty stupid. The problem with the original tweet is that it labels Jewish communities en masse. So my community, for example, pretty Jewish, has always opposed DEI and open borders. In fact, most Orthodox communities do.&#8221;
Shapiro then went on to read Musk&#8217;s follow-up tweets, something that Tapper did not do, where Musk was more specific about what he was talking about.
&#8220;That&#8217;s a much more specific point and it&#8217;s certainly true,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;There are a lot of liberal Jewish organizations that supported a lot of the same policies that have now imported a lot of people who really hate Jews and Westerners into the West. And a lot of the very same people who are pushing DEI intersectional politics are now realizing the wages of that. That&#8217;s true. The original tweet was wildly overbroad, but a huge number of people in the media decided now was the time to link Musk and the alt-right, and the so called &#8216;Jewish question&#8217; and support the notion that Musk is some sort of crypto Nazi.&#8221;
&#8220;Now it&#8217;s not a coincidence again, that a lot of the people doing just that are happily calling for Israel to ceasefire in its war with Hamas,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;See, very often anti semitism becomes a political football, when you can hang the label on Donald Trump or Elon Musk and you&#8217;re on the Left, you do it. However, when you&#8217;re forced to denounce pro-Hamas protesters shouting, &#8216;from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free,&#8217; suddenly they get a little shy. Thus the same media leaping on both Trump and Musk has been downplaying the open Jew hatred and massive pro Hamas protests around the world, instead propagating lies about Israel&#8217;s supposed human rights violations.&#8221;
&#8220;Instead, they&#8217;re focusing in on their political enemies like Trump and Musk and deeming them the Acolytes of Hitler,&#8221; he concluded in the clip, which Musk shared on X. &#8220;Meanwhile, the actual Hitler acolytes who were out there waving Mein Kampf, they&#8217;re like, &#8216;Those people are oppressed and brown&#8217;. It might have more bite to hit Trump and Musk for supposed anti semitism if these people actually spent some actual time talking about the people who actually like Hitler on planet Earth, who are right now holding some 240 Jews and others hostage in Gaza and killed 1,200 people and have subjected the Gaza Strip to complete hellish tyranny for the last 20 years. But a lot of these same people are totally silent.&#8221;
