What the Xi Jinping? WashPost, CNBC Push Chinese State Propaganda Targeting Elon Musk
NewsBusters ^ | 3/1/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

The Washington Post and CNBC tried to wokescold Twitter owner Elon Musk for advancing the Wuhan COVID-19 lab leak theory. The outlets attempted to achieve this by pushing … Communist Chinese state propaganda.

The Post, owned by liberal billionaire Jeff Bezos, published a Feb. 28 story with a nutty headline that set the tone for the ludicrous argument: “Chinese state media calls out Elon Musk over coronavirus tweet.” The Post referred to Musk’s response to a tweet alleging that former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function virus research in Wuhan. “He did it via a pass-through organization (EcoHealth),” Musk tweeted in response. The Post flexed the faux virtue-signaling of none other than the Chinese Communist Party-tied Global Times to rebuke Musk in its sub-headline: “Global Times newspaper criticizes Musk for advancing a ‘conspiracy theory’ about the virus’s origin.” CNBC’s Feb. 28 headline promoting the communist propaganda needs no explanation: “China’s CCP warns Elon Musk against sharing Wuhan lab leak report.”

The Global Times is the same communist outlet that threatened Taiwan and Australia by calling them “cannon fodder” on Twitter in 2021. But CNBC’s Squawk Box apparently didn’t see the issue in regurgitating Global Times’ threats to Musk during its March 1 show. Apparently, Musk touched on a “sensitive” issue, according to CNBC Beijing Bureau Chief Eunice Yoon. What a joke.

WashPo and CNBC reflect the establishment elite’s views and they hate Musk because they’re afraid of things getting leaked on Twitter. They know any thorough investigation of the lab leak will also show the complicity of US scientists and eco health, and they don’t want people venturing into that aspect of things. I wouldn’t be surprised if the deep state tries to bankrupt Twitter, they know Musk is a loose cannon who’s allowing uncensored documents to be released on his platform and he’s not following their script so they want him gone.

Nah, too much trouble. They'll just have Musk killed in an unfortunate freak accident. Maybe one of his goofy girlfriends will "lose her marbles" (read: the check clears) and she takes him out.

You read it here first.
