Howard Kurtz accused Tesla and X CEO of ‘deflection’ in answers about New York Times reporting
A Fox News host called out Elon Musk’s response to the New York Times report alleging drug use while the billionaire was working as Trump’s senior adviser at DOGE.
The Times report alleged that Musk was frequently using magic mushrooms, ecstasy, Adderall, and ketamine in amounts that caused him bladder issues.
When asked about the report during an Oval Office press briefing on Friday, Musk questioned the newspaper’s credibility.
“Wait, wait, The New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization?” Musk replied. “Let’s move on.”
On Sunday, Fox News anchor Howard Kurtz called out Musk for refusing to answer the question directly, saying he “decided to talk about something from five years ago involving the Pulitzers because he knew that he did not want to answer that question. That’s my take.”
Even I’m not impressed by Elon Musk’s PR team pushing a narrative of him being a victim of drug addiction in order to shift responsibility for his actions and also give him an opportunity to repair his public image by getting clean.
^ the real headline. There isn’t an amount of ketamine you can take to make you do a sieg heil on stage
He still hasn’t figured out he was always gonna be the first fall guy…
They’ll blame all the damage on him before midterms to try and trick the rubes that it’s not Republican’s fault.
Trump always blames others
TUBO. Pronounced like tub-oh because he’s a fat lard-ass.
Trump Unilaterally Blames Others
before midterms
We’re not going to wait that long. DOGE cuts are already affecting people and this summer is going to hit some people HARD.
Some of the cuts will be reversed, at great expense, and next summer will hopefully be better. Then Trump will take credit for partially fixing the problem he created and declared victory.
Hopefully people aren’t idiots but…
I meant that’s when they’ll start blaming Musk to try and keep Republicans in office.
Damage is being done right now, but it takes a while for people to feel it.
And I’ll be there every step of the way to enjoy his downfall. Petty? Sure, but so was killing ~150K people for nonexistant savings.
Step 2 in trying to make Musk the sole fall guy for the misdeeds of the entire Republican party/leadership. Musk is one of many anti-American criminals, we can’t let the rest get away with their roles. They are ALL complicit, not just Musk. All of them.
Oh boy! He looks so tired! How wonderful
This dudes face looks like a wrinkled nut sack
I’m not sure his businesses will be glad to welcome him back. Sure, they want him away from the DC spotlights, but the guy is still an addict with a depression.
No, he won’t be welcomed back. But he’ll be back.
His board of directors is glad to have him back. He has singlehandedly tanked his companies’ brand image and sales with his irresponsible ego bender, and there has to be serious talk of a shareholder lawsuit in the works, especially after that last disastrous earnings report. The Board probably convinced them to hold off until the next earnings report, hoping things will improve, but it won’t. Once a bubble pops, it doesn’t reinflate again.
The only thing holding up the stock at this point is that it is a major holding in many institutional funds. As future earnings report remain poor, or even get worse, those institutional funds will start dumping it, and then it will fully crash. At that point, the lawsuit will go forward.
The Board is just hoping that by forcing him to get back to work, and not tolerating his nonsense any more, they may be able to avoid being named in the lawsuit as well.
Tesla will be bankrupt within two years.
The propaganda machine needs him to fall before they can try a redemption arc to help recover his image.
Elon, meet bus wheel. Bus wheel, Elon.

This is nothing compared to the alleged 3some with Stephen miller and his wife. The going theory is Elmo got punched in the face by Miller and that’s how he got the black eye.
