Call of Snooty: Virtue-Signaling WashPost Investigates If Musk ‘Cheats at Video Games’!
NewsBusters ^ | 1/29/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

“Grasping at straws” doesn’t even begin to properly define The Washington Post’s latest barking mad line of attack against X owner Elon Musk: Virtue-signaling on his video game ethics.

The seriousness of Post technology reporter Drew Harwell’s insane 1,694-word agitprop against Musk to rile up the gamers across the cyberverse could be summed up by his headline: “Does Elon Musk cheat at video games? An investigation.”

Yes, he actually called this an “investigation.” The piece just went downhill from there: “The world’s richest man has admitted to paying to boost his online warriors into global leaderboards, raising questions about his gaming prowess — and his need for digital praise.” Talk about making a mountain out of a very puny molehill!

I cheat in video games.

Because I am not playing against a real person, and sometimes I want to get the ability to build nukes while my (computer) democrat opponents are still cave dwellers.

And sometimes I just want to finish.

That’s the way to do it! Get nukes early and then you can bomb your opponents back into the stone age and make them live in caves. Or something.

I am not sure who Drew’s boyfriend is at the Wash Poop but they need to send him back to his old job as towel boy at the DC pool house.

Elon Musk sometimes also strokes his cat from tail to head leaving it ruffled and angry. Throw him in Gitmo!

Don’t use the vague Leftist phrase “Virtue Signaling”.

Call it what it is: “Social Justice Warriors” (SJW).

The Washington Post never cared about the money the Chinese gave to Biden, Hunter and the whole Biden clan... Odd they didn’t catch or care about that. /s
