“They are saying that because they have never managed anything. A good Manager surrounds himself with capable people gives them an assignment and let’s them do their job. Musk analyzed Twitter and fired 80 percent of the workforce and it’s still up and running. The Federal Government is about to get smaller and more efficient” – Top comment on the Fox News article “Democrats, media allies push talking point that Elon Musk is truly incoming president instead of Trump,” posted Friday.
Mildest of props to the commenter for not trotting out the old “Must be over the target” line, a lesser fanboy would’ve walked himself right into that one. If the headline said “Democrats, media allies warn Musk is a threat to the entire federal workforce,” then they would be bombs away with that tired line. Here it would’ve just looked like confirming that Musk outranks Trump. Instead this guy handles it more like a 12 year-old girl who didn’t make the middle school cheerleading squad, dismissing the coaches and those mean bitches who did make it as the actual losers here.
How else was he supposed to react when the entire Fox News article was just a lengthy compendium of tweets and quotes mocking Musk dogwalking their president? The only pushback the propaganda network printed in the story was some lame statement from psycho Karoline Leavitt saying “As soon as President Trump released his official stance on the CR, Republicans on Capitol Hill echoed his point of view. President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop,” on Thursday before the mockery did not full stop but continued and escalated. There was no actual pushback or “debunking” just some impotent framing of it as being a “narrative” that’s inherently false because it’s the “Democrats, media allies” pushing it to score political points against Trump.
Worth asking why Fox News even printed this at all if they weren’t going to try to actually dismantle the “narrative” when propagating it. It’s like they’re not even trying to pretend the punch didn’t land.
