As my colleague Bonchie reported, Axios reporter Sara Fischer appeared on CNN to complain about former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump having an unfettered microphone with Elon Musk on X.
The Monday night conversation hails Trump's return to the X (formerly Twitter) platform where he was unceremoniously booted almost four years before, and it has the entire legacy media complex shook.
(Snip)
My Twitchy colleague PolitiBunny is quite correct. They despise the fact that they are on the outside looking in. You can hear the sarcasm dripping from Fischer's voice when she says, "Online fringe." This online fringe she dismisses represents a YUGE and probably untapped voting bloc.
The "edgelord influencers," make up a young and MALE segment of voters who have huge online followings, eschew TikTok, and promote alpha males. Trump and his VP running mate JD Vance have been speaking to these influencers and appearing on their podcasts and shows, so who knows how many have tuned in Monday night? So far, over 30 million people (and counting) have already plugged into Trump's X conversation with Musk.

They hate the thought of not being the gatekeepers.
Stale because it doesn’t fit the times—or because as a Freeper you’ve already heard it a hundred times?

Yeah, I think that’s pretty much right.
Just pick any night, any network, and watch the ads. That specifically tells you who the audience is. The overwhelming majority of people tuning into any corporate media outlet are geriatric baby boomers, the remaining remnant of the 60’s hippie generation. Too old and infirmed now to protest they sit around endlessly watching network news shouting epithets at Trump and Republicans. Makes their now feeble lives seem useful again.
I just saw an update from Elon Musk that over 78 million had heard parts or all of the interview and over 0NE BILLION had made comments or re-read parts of the interview.
I have no idea who the viewers are or what was the reason that they looked at this interview, but I know how big a number a billion people is, and including illegals it is about three times the population of the American residents.
Whether the msm talks or writes about the demonRAT policies, the truth will get out because no one can shut down the world's richest man and all the resources that he has [including his will to use them].
Thank God for Trump's survival at Butler and thank God for converting Elon Musk to having an open mind.
Without X, Trump's chances would be greatly diminished, but if you reach a billion people with a single interview, all of the msm outlets can sit in a giant circle jerk and enjoy the brief time before their worst nightmare comes to pass.
Their bubble is so thick they really believe they’re still relevant. I don’t watch ANY traditional (cable type) ‘news’. They’re dinosaurs. How could one be so detached from reality to not realize they’re the ‘fringe’ and the world has completely moved on.
The legacy media are already bashing Trump this morning for his interview with Musk:
“Trump ‘slurs’ and talks with a ‘lisp’ in rambling X interview after it was delayed due to ‘massive’ cyber attack’”
“Donald Trump’s rambling conversation with Tesla boss Elon Musk”
“Trump suggests he will flee to Venezuela if he loses the election because it is ‘far safer’ than the U.S.”
BTTT
And we all know with certainty that if Harris had done this and gotten anywhere near this successful reach they would be lionizing her for her acumen, brilliance, and ability to reach the Gen Z crowd.
Not just as a Freeper, it’s the same, almost word for word delivery he’s used for years. It’s time to mix the words up a little, just to freshen things up.
The world, the news, the situation, is changing at breakneck speed, but his rallies and this interview sounds like 2020.
Thanks.
Thanks for the link. He sounded very anxious at first, spoke too fast and interrupted Elon when talking about the assassination attempt, which I’m sure he will be processing for the rest of his life; but eventually he calmed down and sounded at ease talking about his poliicies. I hope people who might not have voted for him before will have stuck it out to hear his comparative statistics on consumer prices and other markers of a working-people-focused economy, not elite- or globalist-focused grift.
