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."

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

Maybe Elon wants to be president.

“I’m married, straight, male, white, employed, US citizen, and law-abiding.” Oh, a white suprema-cyst eh? LOL!

Obviously! The left would read that list of characteristics and immediately assume I am racist. They would scream at me about my prejudices - completely missing the irony, hypocrisy, and very real racism.

“The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech”

I believe him.

People with Asperger syndrome tend to get obsessive in whatever topic/area they engage in.

Therefore, I doubt that Musk will be easily dissuaded from either going to Mars or his newfound love for free speech.

These attacks will only make him double down.

But the swamp, the deep state, also won’t be easily dissuaded from their goal to destroy him.

He’s in for the fight of his life and truly hope he comes out on top.

We conservatives should give him all the support we can.

The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!

Retaliation is swift when someone dares to criticize and ridicule our communist masters or do something that physically interferes with one of their principal thought-control weapons of tyranny...

The communist bastards are pulling out all the stops to go after Elon Musk...
- Stall his rocket launch program with EPA crap;
- FCC & House Investigations of his purchase of the communist's thought-control & propaganda arm; and,
- Find one their left-wing nut-jobs to accuse him of sexual crimes...

It is only a matter of time before the FBI finds child pornography on his computer and the IRS launches the mother-of-all-tax-audits...
