Elon Musk goes scorched-earth on NBC after Peacock host's attack, notes network's worst scandals

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.

NBC is as far to the left as MSNBC and CNN.

“All he needs is a Hawaiian birth certificate.......”

Musk would be much more valuable if he owned Twitter and also had a satellite system to deliver the internet anywhere in the world.

It was very tongue in cheek, I’m the guy who wants us to go back to natural born citizens only, born here of citizen parents with no foreign nationality at birth.

60 Minutes is a CBS product; I have a very clear memory that it was NBC News who planted explosives of some kind in the gas tanks of some pickup brand when they refused to explode on their own like they claimed they would.

He just happens to have one. The receiver is about the size of the satellite television dishes that are common in the US. I don't know how unobtrusive they would be in someplace like China or North Korea.
