Ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter, vowing to bring free speech back to the platform, the billionaire has warned that attacks against him will only increase. After a pathetic attempt at a hit piece by The New York Times over his childhood in South Africa, Business Insider is now running with a story about a sexual misconduct claim against Musk.

Musk didn’t give Insider much in the way of a response, other than noting there is “a lot more to this story.”

"If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light," he said, noting the story is a "politically motivated hit piece."

In addition to insisting the accusations are false, he said the reporter already had the story written before reaching out.

He added that the hit pieces won't stop him and even joked about referring to the alleged scandal as "Elongate."

Elon is not a conservative, but boy am I enjoying him attacking the Lefties!

That's why MAGA voters loved Trump as president -- he always fought back and called out people.

Chick was a gold diggin’ whore and was ungrateful for such a cool job. A flight attendant giving massages? So much for that emergency safety flight crew role I guess.

Guaranteed there are people looking for any current or former employees willing to participate in the smear for their 10 min of fame and probably a handsome off-the-books payoff from some anonymous donors.

Heck, I applied for a job with one of Musk's companies a few years back - interviewed, the whole thing... Didn't get the job. Do you think Soros would pay me a few million under the table to fabricate a discrimination claim? Oh, wait... I'm married, straight, male, white, employed, US citizen, and law-abiding. I don't fit any of the lefts most favored victims demographics.

Sexual Harassment.
Is this the only thing the left has in their quiver? Sexual Harassment is the only charge I have heard levied against anyone since the last time Donald Trump nominated someone to a federal job.

Well, Sexual Harassment and being a NAZI.
