Elon Musk, a billionaire known for green tech, has transitioned from supporting Democrats to opposing the progressive establishment. He believes the progressive movement has changed while he has not. The author suggests the progressive movement has revealed a negative core, and those who didn't conform during the pandemic were labeled enemies of democracy. Musk was clearly repulsed by what he observed. Following his 2022 separation from Democrats, he faced relentless attacks from the leftist media. His attempt to purchase Twitter to disrupt the left's social media dominance was met with outrage. In a recent interview with The Economist, the media's tactics were described as tired and repetitive, exasperating Musk. Gizmodo published a critical article calling Musk's interview a "meltdown," which the author dismisses as gaslighting and projection. The author argues that deceptive questions are used to accuse individuals of harmful ideologies. Musk has been accused of racism, fascism, sexism, and even genocide, including causing millions of deaths by withholding humanitarian funding through DOGE and the closure of USAID. Musk refuted the DOGE claim, stating zero deaths resulted from it. The author posits that the true issue is not genuine concern for the needy but the disruption of funding mechanisms for "woke ideology" and "propaganda" worldwide through organizations like USAID. They contend that organizations like Pride and transgender activist movements have weakened with the drying up of federal funding from USAID. The author also questions whether Americans should fund services for illegal migrants via USAID. The closure of USAID is seen as removing a "cancer" that funded "woke ideology" globally. The author asserts that the US is not obligated to support the entire world's well-being. Musk's decision to leave the "liberal plantation" is considered his most egregious offense, as progressives view individuals and their successes as belonging to the collective movement. The author finds the claim by The Economist editor that her outlet promotes limited government and individual liberty laughable, labeling it a globalist platform that supported oppressive policies like mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports. The author concludes that traditional liberalism in the media is dead, replaced by "woke authoritarianism," leading to public mistrust and making media organizations' financial resources irrelevant without public trust.
