🔥 Politico ran an ironic and a little bit sad story Tuesday, headlined “Democrats can’t quit Elon Musk’s X.” Poor democrats. They want to quit. They just can’t stop themselves.

For three years, democrats enjoyed special privileged status on Twitter, where their comments and posts went unchallenged by the government-fueled censorship machine that was busy chewing up and spitting out all the conservatives on the platform.

But, now that he’s bought the platform and shutdown most of the “misinformation” filters, Politico’s article announced Elon Musk is now the left’s new, number one, most-hated person. Elon somehow even dethroned President Trump. (At least for now.)

According to Politico, it’s all because of Israel. You probably thought conservatives were the main Israel supporters, but according to Politico, rank-and-file democrats are so strong for Israel that they are outraged at Elon over Twitter’s weak support for the Jewish homeland, and because of Media Matters’ claims that Twitter is antisemitic:

In the past few weeks, Elon Musk — owner of X, formerly known as Twitter — has gone from provocateur to full-on villain for much of the American left. He personally amplified antisemitic conspiracy theories, sued a progressive research group over claims that ads ran next to pro-Nazi posts, and allowed a reported spike in Hamas-affiliated propaganda tied to the Israel-Hamas war to go largely unmoderated.​

It’s weird how in just a couple days, a person can become a “full-on villain for much of the American left,” isn’t it? It must be totally organic. Anyway, the “news” was that 25 democrats sent Elon a threatening letter on Tuesday, making the totally-believable claim that Twitter “is profiting from Hamas’ terrorist propaganda.”

Then, as soon as they clicked “send,” the democrats all raced to Twitter to announce they’d sent Elon their letter complaining about Twitter. They’d rather not use Elon’s antisemitic platform, but where else are they supposed to announce things?

When they sent the letter, (Dan) Goldman and (Jamie) Raskin promptly shared the news — on X. Politicians are finding they just don’t have a competitor for X’s free, real-time ability to reach voters and journalists. X is still the closest thing to a virtual town square for the Washington conversation.​

“The press still lives and dies on Twitter, and as long as they’re there, it’s going to be hard for elected officials to avoid it,” said Andrew Bleeker, president of Bully Pulpit Interactive, a Democratic-aligned communications firm.​

It’s a conundrum. Democrats tried creating their own “fully moderated,” progressive Twitter-killer, called something-or-other, causing lots of establishment journalists to rage quit Elon’s platform with great fanfare, but then have to sneak back in shame because — oddly — nobody wanted to read their wacky leftist scribblings in their “digital safe spaces.”

So I guess it’s Twitter for now. But owning a popular and uncensored social media platform put Elon right in the crosshairs, making him a “full-on villain” to democrats. After all, how dare he allow conservatives any free speech?

So airing Pallywoods latest creations as if they real, and casting anything Israel says as doubtful is just journalism and not pro-Hamas?

Elon Musk yet again pulls back the veil to reveal the machinery of the liberal censorship complex​



Per the suit, Media Matters created its report by intentionally bypassing X’s safeguards against such posts, creating accounts that “exclusively followed” accounts owned by big-name advertisers plus “a small subset of users” who are “known to produce extreme, fringe content.”

It then “resorted to endlessly scrolling and refreshing” until it got the results it wanted: “controversial content next to X’s largest advertisers,” which it screenshotted and used in its “reporting” on X.

The group revealed none of this shady, behind-the-scenes book-cooking, but Musk and X have the tools to expose it — tools the public lacks.

Indeed, the average person often has no idea why they’ve been “canceled” or thrown in social-media prison, let alone how an activist group might distort what appears on social media.

Yet Musk has been pulling back the curtain on platforms’ underhanded tactics, as when he released the Twitter files.

That’s let Americans see how government officials collude with left-leaning social media to censor disfavored speech — such as when pre-Musk Twitter and Facebook squelched The Post’s scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop to protect Joe Biden before the 2020 election.

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



X owner Elon Musk 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.
