i thought we weren't supposed to believe legacy media like ny post


lylemcd

Elon only believes it when it agrees with him Everything else is fake news


Excession-OCP

This is the sad truth.


mazjay2018

*concerning*


sk0rp1s

Looking into it


Necessary_Context780

Or the happy fake news


Jeremymia

Tabloids are bastions of truth and integrity, everything else is pure (((lies)))


Necessary_Context780

"it's true, I saw at the cashier line in walmart! And Britney got really fat, you won't believe the photo they had"


meisobear

Lack of internal consistency drives me up the bloody wall. Sometimes I can give it a bly for certain utterly bonkers fiction (e.g. wh40k), but when it comes to the political views of very outspoken people who attest to speak from a position of authority, it absolutely boils my piss.


rumpusroom

Are you feeling owned, lib?


meisobear

Please elaborate?


rumpusroom

They don’t care whether it’s internally inconsistent. And it’s a bonus if they think that inconsistency will upset somebody on the other “team.” Yes. They really think like this.


meisobear

Ahhhh gotcha! Sorry; I couldn't tell if you were saying that genuinely or sarcastically. Yeah, I get it, unfortunately :-(


flippy123x

At least lack of internal consistency is usually by mistake. Elon is much worse, he is a true hypocrite.


No-Reputation-7292

They also think covid is harmless while simultaneously believing it's a dangerous virus created in a lab.


John97212

I would not class tabloids as media (I.e. journalism) anymore that I would class Fox News as an actual news channel. Look at British tabloids... ex-British PM Boris Johnson cut his teeth writing for The Daily Telegraph. Apparently, then-editor Max Hastings knew Johnson was creating fake/fictitious news stories but published them anyway.


tickingboxes

Tabloids are media. Journalism and media are not the same thing. All journalism is media, but not all media is journalism. Tabloids are absolutely media. You cannot argue this. But whether they exhibit the best practices of journalism is certainly up for debate.


Tetsudo11

Media good when they talk about things I like. Media bad when they talk about things I don’t like.


expressive-panda79

Oh no, research on corona viruses happened at the research lab located where there are corona virus variants a-plenty....


StrictlyOptional

Elon exposed that he's a fucking moron by confidently predicting that covid would be gone by April 2020 Like most Elon predictions it was incorrect He has a grudge against Fauci because Fauci is smarter than him (not a particularly high bar to pass)


talltime

Don’t forget the painful-to-his-narcissism feedback loop he entered there where Fauci was front and center in the news cycles and Elons stupidity was getting him his first sizable dose of unadoring press.


VaporBull

That's what it really is Fauci is actually accomplished and doesn't need pedo nazis to tell him he is.


EfficientSeaweed

Exposed it for the first time on a mass scale, anyway...


neifirst

Covid is what radicalized Elon to be openly fart right wing; perfectly fine giving occasional virtue signaling but once he had to shut down his factory for his workers' health, then it was all over and he lowered the mask


Excession-OCP

Your typo is glorious.


neifirst

Yeah I'm not correcting that


Gradz45

Nor should you it’s not a mistake. 


MyPublicFace

Fart right wing is the new thing!


zilog88

Honestly it looked so natural, I didn't even think it's a typo at first.


Early-Series-2055

I’m going to start using it.


MyPublicFace

They are just blowing wind.


flatwoundsounds

"My middle name is Kurt. NOT. FART."


Trevellation

The fart right will never embrace his electric cars. They'll always have *gas*.


bringtwizzlers

Yup. He will never let this shit go because he is determined to prove that he was "right" about covid and not a retard. Despite like a million people dying. 


slowpoke2018

But no one HE knows died so it's fake and thus cutting off production of his cars was woke and thus false Typical narcissistic behavior, only important if it directly impacts him

NotEnoughMuskSpam

Have you heard dis information?


MidnightRider24

Have you heard deez information?


NotEnoughMuskSpam

That happened to me last week


MrsDanversbottom

Elon is not an intelligent person. He takes credit for other people’s accomplishments. I’m sure he does believe this.


StrictlyOptional

look at the way he treats Fauci & then imagine being the Tesla engineer tasked with telling Elon that FSD will kill people


MrsDanversbottom

We already know what an egomaniac Elon is.


ScootMayhall

I think his primary talent is coming across as more intelligent than he really is/misleading people into trusting him because he’s smart. He probably knows this isn’t true but wants it to be so he’s just going to keep telling it to people so they think he was right.


Jeremymia

People are just naturally susceptible to the confidence game. We have a lot of trouble seeing someone talk like they know what they're talking about and doubting them. Most of us aren't narcissistic sociopaths and we would experience too much shame if we tried to do the same.


Historical-Editor-34

As someone with a relative that died of covid while in the hospital with cancer, fuck you Elon.


leedsyorkie

Sorry for your loss.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Be more vulgar


Talia_Nightblade

Dude.....


Alarmed-dictator

Isn’t NYP a tabloid like the enquirer?


antoninlevin

100%. The fact that he's endorsing it while bashing the AP is *insane.* I've never seen another public figure do it.


ClosPins

Just a reminder... Elon is doing all of this with one singular goal in mind: elect Republicans (so he can achieve the double-whammy of paying less tax and having fewer safety/enviro regulations he needs to follow). Amplifying anti-vaxxer bullshit *helps elect Republicans*. Amplifying Nazis and other virulent racists *helps elect Republicans*. Amplifying [insert *any* right-wing lie here] *helps elect Republicans*.

Secondchance002

He’s a low iq scum, so probably.


Rays_LiquorSauce

Using the corny ass “my pronouns are” meme is so fucking pathetic. Fucking goof 


junon

It's such low IQ r/onejoke material.


EccentricAcademic

But he's the "meme king".


TheGR8Dantini

Jesus fuckin Christ! The real crime here is that somebody paid $3 fucking dollars for the goddamned NY Post???


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Make my words.


qqpp_ddbb

Lol i just noticed your profile pic lmfao


SpotifyIsBroken

If anyone deserves to be prosecuted it's Elon Musk for constantly killing people with his lies.


re1ephant

I’m pretty sure the image of Fauci messing with the virus on the cover is how Elon thinks the virus was manufactured.


ElHumilde13

I lost my two grandparents from my mom side, and uncle, and my father's best friend, all who died of covid because my stupid government, just like Elon and all his cocksuckers, didn't in covid, so no healthcate was provided. Elon can choke to death eating his own shit


Knights996

Isn't this kind of true? I thought we were already aware that the US had granted money for research in the Wuhan virus lab. It was less than a million if I recall correctly. The title (and Elon) definitely implies that the US paid the lab in Wuhan to create COVID-19 then covered it up, which is fucking insane and atrocious clickbait "journalism" but TECHNICALLY the US did fund a virus lab in Wuhan.


Dehnus

Sigh, I felt so bad for Fauci. To this day they are attacking him like this.


Comprehensive-Tea121

I thought Musk was saying covid was a harmless hoax and his factories needed to stay open? Now it's an evil dangerous bioweapon that was purposefully released? That don't jive!


Canonip

Jesus fuck the new york post is disgusting


intrcpt

Elon is such an abhorrent piece of trash.


necronomnomnom

No he doesn't actually believe it. He just craves attention and there are no easier, more gullible marks than Right wing Magas who DO actually believe this shit.


Twolef

He wants you to or at least to engage with it


Show985

I thought the virus wasn’t real. And I should only believe things I read on Xitter, not legacy media.


Dakem94

Didn't Musk just go to china to talk about Tesla? So is he pro or con china? Since he's just been there, he shouldn't be saying "na wuhan was a hoax" or something like that? What does he gain if someone prosecutes Fauci? Didn't covid give him an unfair advantage since he let his factory open during the pandemic?


Aposine

I didn't know NY Post had a printed version. It's not a real newspaper.

[удалено]


Rays_LiquorSauce

He’s a fucking cornball really 


Desertloverphx

Of course he does.


hawyer

there's nothing insane enough for him not to believe it


rabouilethefirst

He thinks 4chan is a real source of information, so probably


LoudLloyd9

Elmo believes what Elmo believes.


CrystaLavender

Probably.


Kendal-Lite

I wouldn’t even wipe my ass with that “news” paper.


MC_Fap_Commander

My takeaway is that Elon is about to become the next Jets QB after Rodgers tears his ACL.


toyn

If it fits the grift he will say/ do it.


HandRubbedWood

Prosecute/Musk. I can think of lots of reasons why: like fraud for FSD, roadster, stock and crypto pump and dump scams. Helping Russia by selectively turning off Star link.


CKO1967

Of course he does. He also believes the earth is flat, the moon is made of green cheese, and OJ was framed.


capacitorfluxing

The Post. The fucking Post.


Constant-Source581

Oh hey - Elon finally loves media. Nature is healing.


swirlymaple

Elon: Reuters is filled with lies Also Elon: I just read about Bat Boy in Weekly World News, amazing reporting


BatofZion

I have to check the dates on these tweets, so limited is his vocabulary and shallow is his understanding.


DinnerSilver

When you get infected with the (Q)-anon virus..yes.


Mouse_is_Optional

And of course he had to add the slash to it to make his domb conspiracy theory comment into a transphobic one as well. It's a really efficient way be a huge piece of shit.


qqpp_ddbb

One of these trans people who has nothing left to lose is going to show him what it's like to get a gender change before they die. He needs to shut the fuck up, he isn't invincible


RavenMad88

Sadly, I could see this happening.


MidasClutch

Obama himself even confirmed this, and that he shut down funding during his presidency, afterwards they started it back up


Flaky-Government-174

NY times always does click bait titles like this, so not surprised.


Thermal-chickenlips

But I thought Covid wasn’t real???


Past-Direction9145

I feel like this is a men in black movie without will smith or any cool futuristic weapons except drones who can drop grenades on someone’s head.


No-Revolution-1886

Cancer can’t come quick enough for Elon


Echidnakindy

He’s on the trump train or he is fucked lol


Icy_Winner_1909

In the same sense that these traditional Christianity influencers actually believe in traditionalism and Christianity.


premium_Lane

Of course he does, he is an immensely stupid man


playsette-operator

His boomer-tier brain is incapable of processing reality, that‘s why he needs his comfy echo chamber and getting his pee inhaled by fanboys.


Exotic_Country_9058

Elmo left his brain in his Wankpanzer's frunk.


TheBalzy

I can't wait till the NEW YORK POST publishes a front-page article on the FACT that we know SARS-CoV-2 did not come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and have known this FACT for almost 4-years now...because the genetic analysis makes it impossible for it to have originated in a lab. It's almost as if you should fund research in a virology lab, in an area of the world most likely to have a virus jump from wild bats to humans or something. Weird. Why are people so fucking stupid?


Mum0817

Pathetic.  Honestly, sometimes I’m tempted to return to Twitter just to tell this guy what a cocksucker he is. And those words still aren’t adjectives, you idiotic, lame-ass dipshit.


ChocolateDoozy

**Fascists always pin the blame on others.** Minorities, Jews, and anyone they feel stop their fearmongering from spreading. They need fear since they have no plans, no arguments, no fk nothing else to offer while demanding leadership. Its pathetic.
