Kamala Harris showed her cards on Tuesday. She went hard in the paint against Elon Musk, the self-made U.S. citizen who bought the X/Twitter platform in 2022 in order to save America’s promise of free speech from social media tyrants.
Musk is a businessman who started from scratch and also built the most famous electric vehicle company in the world, launched a satellite network that serves rural areas of Alaska, and is a pioneer in space with Space X, the privately run rocket launching company.
He is, by all measures, an extraordinary entrepreneur. He had a role in the founding of The Boring Company, xAI, Neuralink and OpenAI. As one of the wealthiest people in the world, his net worth is estimated to be $241 billion.
But if Harris wins, it’s clear she is going to exact her revenge on him. She’s calling a private businessman names.
“The richest person in the world is a lackey for Team MAGA,” she wrote, after Musk used the X platform to interview Donald Trump — an interview that was seen by more than 1 billion people.
Musk has offered the same interview opportunity to Harris, but it’s doubtful she will accept after calling him a lackey and saying he “ruined Twitter,” which Musk reorganized in order to stop censorship. Before Musk, Twitter was found to have coordinated with the federal government to suppress news stories and cancel accounts that reported on stories relating to Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton.
“Democrat rule precedes business doom! Harris and Biden’s braying about ‘corporate greed’ is just to mask their economic failures. They attack job-creators while families struggle, forced to choose between groceries or gas,” sad Kelly Tshibaka, Alaska state director for the Trump/Vance campaign.
Harris has tried to characterized her campaign as one of “joy,” and critics have said Trump does too much name-calling. But Musk, who was the darling of the Democrats, has now put a target on himself should Harris get elected.
The legacy media did the heaviest lifting for Kamala Harris, however, after the Trump discussion with Musk. The X account called @autismcapital compiled a page of mainstream media reaction to the interview:
