Tesla CEO Elon Musk took a scorched-earth approach to NBC on Monday after a left-wing Peacock host accused him of handing Twitter "to the far-right."
"NBC basically saying Republicans are Nazis …" Musk wrote in a Monday tweet, responding to a video clip posted by another user showing Mehdi Hasan railing against Musk, calling him a "not-so-bright billionaire," and complaining about his purchase of the social media giant.
"Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office. Lovely people," Musk added in another tweet, listing some of the network's most notorious scandals in recent years.
Among the scandals mentioned by Musk were the Hunter Biden laptop story, which NBC frequently ignored despite revelations the laptop was not "Russian disinformation" as some news outlets claimed, as well as former reporter Ronan Farrow's allegation that NB suppressed his story on the raft of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
Musk also mentioned the scandal surrounding former NBC "Today Show" anchor Matt Lauer, who was fired from the network in 2017 after being accused of inappropriate sexual behavior.
He appeared to reference reports, subsequently denied by Lauer, that there was a secret button under his desk at NBC allowing him to lock the door of his office to trap women without getting up from his chair.

When Elon gets the wheel of Twitter, buckle up everyone it’s going to be a wild ride 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So did Trump. Do not underestimate the opposition.
The leftists like to play scorched earth, but they don’t like it when someone returns fire.
They seem to be finding that Musk doesn’t hunker down when attacked. He attacks back.
That was a righteous burn by Elon.
All he needs is a Hawaiian birth certificate.......
Oh but he does. I just saw him showing it on a meme board. 😁
How long will it take for the Media-Dem Party to label Musk an “anti-Semite” for daring to mention the scandals of Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer”?
No matter how this plays out in terms of the personalities involved, the end result will be even less trust in legacy media.
NBC rigged Ford Pintos to explode back in the seventies....iirc.
BRAVO
And this is exactly why we need free speech...
Wow...he fights back! How refreshing
We accept him! One of us!
Musk had better be careful with the rape allegation if it hasn’t been proven.
Yes, and we have this problem of merely being given a few quips and burns of our domestic enemies on social media…while our actual situation does not materially change. It’s not enough.
Musk on Twitter is as much fun as Trump on Twitter, I am going to have to buy a crap load of popcorn GO MUSK!! I am really surprised Twitter hadn’t banned him yet, looks to me like he is daring them to ban him!!!
He knows tyranny and Communism first hand. He experienced it in South Africa.
He knows what the stifling of free speech looks like, and how dangerous it is.
Curious to see if/how Matt Lauer responds.
Meanwhile, from Upstate NY...
Wheeler is the news director at the station.
