Chuck Todd on ‘un-American’ Elon Musk: ‘Five-alarm fire’
The Hill ^ | 02/03/2025 | Dominick Mastrangelo

Posted on 02/03/2025 12:30:11 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former NBC news political pundit and moderator of “Meet The Press” Chuck Todd is railing against Elon Musk and his recent efforts to trim spending and make major alterations to large swaths of the federal government.

“If democracy is a quote-unquote ‘left-wing ideology’ to Elon Musk, I mean, this man is un-American as far as my definition of America is,” Todd said on an episode of fellow pundit Chris Cillizza’s podcast. “The fact that more people aren’t offended by this man’s actions … I mean, it shows you how much he has helped successfully destroy the trusted information ecosystem because this is a five-alarm fire. “Elon Musk is a five-alarm fire and the country doesn’t realize it yet,” he added.

The commentator’s remarks were first highlighted by Mediaite.

Musk was tapped by President Trump to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency and has sparked widespread pushback and confusion amongst government officials with plans to offer buyouts to a large amount of federal workers and cut off aid to foreign countries.

Interesting reveal, since this guy is admitting that when Democrats say “democracy” they mean ‘left-wing ideology’

But the tech billionaires weren’t “un-American” 5 or 6 years ago when they were funneling hundreds of millions to Biden and the Dems???

Someone I know posted a FB comment that Musk needs to be “taken down”. Seems like a threat, IMO.

The trusted information ecosystem?

Does he mean “trusted”, as in what is spoon fed by the legacy TV networks, legacy newspapers such as NY Times, and certain cable news channels? These are trusted?

Then is the implication, that other sources of news and information are not trustworthy?

What the heck is he trying to say?

What does Chuck have to hide?

Was we an agent of influence for the CIA—or another intelligence agency—domestic or foreign?

I guess F Chuck Toad considers himself the “trusted information eco-system”

Happy to see him relegated to an obscure podcast.

People are literally peeing down their legs. Remember when Trump said, as he was running for office the first time, he pointed at Hillary and he said he was gonna put her in jail. He didn’t put her in jail. Do you know what, he’s gonna be putting a lot of people in jail. A lot of people. Now is a good time for them to run.

USAID is nothing more than a Democrat slush fund.

Nuke it from orbit just to be sure.

Well, Chuck. He was a demonicRAT before he was a Republican so why didn’t you say something sooner? In fact, do we even know if he’s a Republican?

Trusted information ecosystem? It’s this kind of babbling bullshit and socialist rhetoric that is so out of touch with mainstream America that got your over inflated ego kicked to the curb with the rest of the trash.
